Compel looks odd when cast upon yourself. I was surprised to even be able to try it:

>cast karthor
You gesture.
You contribute your harnessed streams to increase the pattern's potential.
As you begin to cast the spell, you feel the weight of your empathic shock dampening your efforts.
You focus your magical senses upon 's life essence, attempting to subtly compel I to go elsewhere.
Roundtime: 2 sec.

Thanks,
-Life Sustainer Karthor

This shouldn't be possible, and should be fixed.
