bug with call lightning, hidden, and no target
Description
there's a persistent bug with call lightning where it still works even if the target is unseen because you can call it without a target and it will hit whoever you last fought

Risgran narrows his eyes and glares in your direction.
Risgran's heavenly wrath === OBLITERATES === you!
A Thicket of Bushes
The forest around you roars with the fury of several wildly blazing fires!
[Exits: east west]
Leaning heavily on his sword, this large guard rests briefly in the night.
You flee from combat!

You yell 'Help, I've been struck by lightning!'
You are struck by a bolt of lightning from above!
Risgran's lightning bolt === OBLITERATES === you!
You have been KILLED!!
You have died, but the Carrion Fields are not finished with you yet!
Your soul is returned to the realms in the form of a ghost.
You will return to your corporeal state in a short while.
Be careful, for even a ghost should fear some dangers!
You feel some of your vitality drain out of you with this death.

Its been working this way for years, used by multiple IMPs in this fashion, and discussed previously publicly as working correctly.

Still going to be able to use it while blind?

The feature of being able to leave off the target and have it target the last person you fought is definitely by design. The other part though is whether you should be able to hit someone you can't see. I discussed this with Daev and we agreed this is something that was overlooked so I added a check.
I'm sure there are other bugs in the code that have been around for years... one day they'll get fixed.
