Magic users blast their allies in the back
OpenMW now reproduces Morrowind's behaviour by allowing NPCs to hit your character with melee attacks from behind another NPC. However, enemy mages are still killing their allies for you by shooting them in the back.
Obviously, the "correct" behaviour is to have all NPCs perform a line of sight check and, if necessary, move to a better position to get a clean shot. But since that is probably a 1.0 feature, an interim fix to make magic behave like melee attacks would be appropriate.
