Friendly

Characters that are friendly are on your side. If you hover an NPC that is siding you, their name on their name tag is displayed in green colour.

You can use supportive spells on friendly targets, but no offensive spells. These spells may cast (you can hold down "Shift" to force casting an offensive spell on a friendly target), but they will have no effect.

While your pets and guardians are on the same side as you, they only consider you and your party friendly when it comes to using supportive spells. This is to prevent non-partied members from monopolizing your pet's attention.
