Spells that do damage do not mark the caster as an aggressor.

Steps to reproduce:

Spawn mobs or animals that react directly to aggression (Wolves, Pigmen)
Hurt them with a spell (Flamethrower)
They will take damage, but not aggress on the caster.

Other notes:
I'm not sure if this is something we can enforce a rule for this from the api, but we should set a precedent for spell makers in some way, at the least.

See "setAngry()" http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/org/bukkit/entity/Wolf.html http://jd.bukkit.org/apidocs/org/bukkit/entity/PigZombie.html

How about creature.setTarget(LivingEntity target)?

Why not both?

Darn, GitHub comments don't have a like button.

So it appears that this isn't something we can solve through the API, so spell writers need to somehow do this themselves. Not optimal, but okay.
