I've done this many times before and never had an issue. Charm a NPC and use them for whatever is necessary. Get tired of NPC, petrify them. Go about merry way. Well this time, I lost my pet too...

I can't imagine it would matter, but I just remembered that I had forgotten to name this pet.

It's your formation.

You can toss aggressive spells at your own column -- provided that neither you nor your target can "reach" each other -- but when you attack another column, it always turns your group inside out.

Short version: put yourself behind the NPC and make sure neither of you have reaching weapons, and then you can get away with it. Or eject it and then petrify it.

I could have sworn that I've done it with this formation before, but its quite likely I hadn't been wielding a reaching weapon before, and here I was.

Edit: Yeah, same formation, but minus holding a weapon, and it worked fine.
