Currently if you launch the Geomancer's Icebolt directly up and hit yourself, you will deal damage and slow yourself for 5 seconds. This also gives the "(target) is no longer slowed!" message. You then receive another, more appropriate message of "(target) is no longer slowed!" at the end of the slow's duration.

On top of being able to damage and slow yourself, Icebolt's slow effect does not respect no-pvp or in-party restrictions. If you hit yourself with Icebolt while in no-pvp or while in a party that includes you, you will not take damage but will be slowed for the full duration, once again giving an inappropriate message about you no longer being slowed.

If you hit a fellow party member with Icebolt, they won't take damage but they will be slowed and the message will still play.

Edit: Also, if you hit another player in no-pvp they will take the slow effect, the message will play, and they will become confused and/or agitated towards you.
