Miscasting

I've had an interesting problem lately. I'm in the area to the right of where you fight the 10th level wizard with the gold skull, and recently my casters have been unable to cast their spells properly. Direct damage spells still work fine, but if I target my own party members with buffs or healing, the spell animation goes off, along with a weird white sparkle animation, but nothing happens. Resting, reloading, moving to new areas seems to do nothing. The following spells never work:
Any kind of healing spell
Lesser restoration
Enlarge Person
Bull's strength
Also of note is that my party paladin had bull's strength cast on him before this occurred. His strength is no longer boosted, but he's still glowing red. I don't know if this spellcasting problem is a bug or part of the game, but the game is very difficult if you can't heal your party, and I only have so many potions. Anyone else had this problem?

 

OK, new info:
Enlarge person works normally.
The skull's discern lies ability fails with the same white sparkle animation, but poison works.
Healing and restorative magic of any kind continue to fail, as does endure elements. The problem seems right now confined to the druid.

EDIT: Problem solved.

 

Solved how, exactly? There is someone over on the Co8 boards having the same issue, and I'd like to pass on any advice if you don't mind.
