I don't get why spells/and skills that target self need to be confirmed, they manage it with items so why not there?
My guess, is that they want to unify skills - someone might not diffirenciate targatable vs non targatable skill on sight and trigger an ability more or less by mistake. I know, I don't always remember if "can I cast it on someone else or not?".
So in general I don't mind a need to "confirm" the cast, like in XCOM. But as of right now it's a bit too sluggish.
