So, am I crazy or is this pretty much a 2nd level insta-death spell for anyone hit by this?

I mean, I'm crazy, right? They wouldn't make an oversight this big, would they? I get it, it's supposed to be used on friendly targets - but no where does it say that it can only be used this way. Being 3d level to cast it, it lasts for three hours. I know no one who can hold their breath that long. Used in combat, all of a sudden a person starts suffocating and dies. Even if they succeed on a spell-craft of knowledge Arcane check to identify the spell, they will immediately have to find a large enough body of water to go breath into before they die.
