The caster's companions are just as vulnerable unless they are warned in advance.

A scene
The slavers had sprung their ambush in a narrow lane behind the Grand Marketplace of Acheron, eight men closing in from both ends. Nailah, a magician, said one word to her companions: Eyes. They shut them tight and turned their faces to the wall. Then the air around her exploded into a storm of color, crimson and violet and blinding white. The slavers reeled back, shrieking, hands over their faces. Most of them could not see at all; the two who had looked away in time stumbled about half-blind. Nailah's friends opened their eyes and drew their swords.
