get_things_to_cast_on
Gets a list of atoms around [center] that are within range and going to be affected by our aoe. You should override this on a subtype basis to change what your spell affects.
For example, if you want to only cast on atoms in view instead of range. Or, if you only want living mobs in the list.
When using range / view, it's handy to remember the byond optimization they have by casting to an atom type.
Returns a list of atoms.
