Friendly Fire Summoned Flame Atronach?

Are these things suppose to be able to kill you if you get caught in one of their spells? I always summon these guys but end up killing myself because I get caught in their spells.

Offensive spells do not discriminate friend from foe. Your spells will hurt allies, their spells will hurt you.

That's mildly annoying lol. I have a mod that makes allies target enemies without the requirement of an enemy attacking me and, particularily in caves or caverns, I always get rekted by my companion lol.

Guess no summoning in caves.

I have the same issue with atronachs. I'm playing as a high elf (50% weakness to fire and 25% weakness to frost and shock). For a while, I didn't bother summoning flame and frost atronachs, but now I just drink a resist fire and/or resist frost potion and levitate or run behind them. Ha! You can also make your own healing potions which restore health for a longer duration if your Alchemy skill is high enough. I drink a quality or exclusive restore health potion and one of my own to survive in tight areas like caves. I have some shoes with a constant 25% resistance to frost and armor with 80% resistance to Magicka, too.

I didn't pick Alchemy as a Major skill because I don't like alchemy in this game.
It's practically like cheating lol.

Oh, okay. I can't imagine playing without Alchemy. It's one of my favorite activities. I make a lot of money selling potions! :-)

I can't help myself but to teleport to the Wolverine Hall Mage's Guild and buying ash yams and bloat to make fortify intelligence potions over and over till I get potions with just ridiculous effects like "Fortify Strength 1090383904890810928409" and "Value 200,000" lol.

Haha! I've never used the Intelligence or Strength exploit. Maybe I should! :-)

Just note that it will be hard to reverse the affects because they will last essentially eternity.
