    1. Title: Banish Undead does not effect mobs behind player
    2. Reproduction Rate: 100%
    3. Blocker? No
    4. Details: If an undead mob is directly behind the player (attacking the back), it will not take damage from banish undead.
    5. Steps to Reproduce:
      * Find a melee skeleton

      * Cast banish undead.
      * Observe that the skeleton is not being hit even though it is within range.

    This is working as intended. Like most spells, you must be facing the target to affect them.

    You then oughta modify the visual fx. As it is now, it strongly gives an idea of 360 degree AOE rather than a cone/forward arc shaped effect.

    I agree with Katrina and I'm disappointed about Banish undead, it definitely has the visuals and seemed to work as an area of affect spell which is really helpful sometimes.

    edit
    It was one of our cool spells imo ;)

    Yeah Chris, if the spell is not intended to be AOE all around caster, pelase fix the visual effect to match what it does.
