ctan 642f449b9e fix(rules): exclude the caster from a line spell's area
CRB Magic - Aiming a Spell: a line 'starts from any corner of your square', so the caster's own square is outside the template (SRD Lightning Bolt: 'The bolt begins at your fingertips' - it leaves the square, it does not fill it). line_cells now drops the origin and takes the length_cells squares beyond it; a degenerate aim affects nothing. Updated the Lightning Bolt and Line Sparks tests (caster no longer caught) and the README.

Ultraworked with [Sisyphus](https://github.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-openagent)

"""PF1e area-shape geometry: cone and line templates on the 5-ft square grid.
PF1e (CRB, Magic — Aiming a Spell):
- "A cone-shaped spell shoots away from you in a quarter-circle in the
direction you designate. It starts from any corner of your square and
widens out as it goes." — modeled here as every cell whose center lies
within the cone's length of the origin and within ±45° of the aim
direction (a 90°-wide quarter circle), excluding the origin cell.
- "A line-shaped spell shoots away from you in a line in the direction you
designate. It starts from any corner of your square and extends to the
limit of its range [...]. A line-shaped spell affects all creatures in
squares through which the line passes." — modeled here as the 5-ft-wide
Bresenham ray from the origin through the aim cell, truncated to the
line's length. The line "starts from any corner of your square", so the
CASTER's own square is NOT one of the affected squares: the affected
squares are the ones beyond the origin along the ray (SRD Lightning Bolt:
"The bolt begins at your fingertips" — it leaves your square, it does not
fill it).
Bursts need no template here: they are circles around a center cell and are
resolved by ``CombatEngine._creatures_in_range`` (unchanged).

strictly into the cone's forward half-plane, and stays within ±45° of the
