No, they aren't. It's the difference between Thaumaterge's Freeze and Flare skills. Freeze can be aimed at an enemy, but does not target. Flare targets an enemy, and hits in an area.

Due to AI, enemies are aiming at people midRaise, which due to odd/buggy game behavior causes them to be hit by the attack.
