Two players were fighting. Player A was in my PK, player B was not.
When I cast adrenal surge on player A and he swung it would give me
the message "The gods protect player B."

It thinks that I am doing the damage not player A.

The spell is very similar to direct damage, and it is by design that you cannot cast it to hurt people out of your range.
