I noticed this too.  Usually hitting the down arrow on the keyboard
clears it up for me.

Position your ill characters above and slightly to the right of your
spell caster and cast the spell.  Took me a while to figure this one
out. 

The most annoying thing I find about the game is that you have no
sense of direction in the game.  The story book is really good, but it
really doesn't tell you what to do or where to go.  I found out most
of the stuff by a "cheat-sheet" I got off of PLINK.  The only problem
is that according to the sheet, I am supposed to go to a castle in the
wasteland, but I can't get in the door, no matter what spells I cast.
Obviously, I haven't done something, but I haven't a clue.  Anyone
have another "cheat sheet"?
