My question about spells like Sanctuary, it states:
"You ward a creature within range against attack."
So does this mean I can cast the spell on anyone within 30ft and they get the spell benefit for 1min regardless if they move outside of the 30ft range?
Or
Does this mean that I can cast the spell on anyone within 30ft and they have to stay within 30ft of me to maintain the spell, even though its not a concentration spell? If it was a concentration spell, would that matter if I lost line of sight and/or they moved outside of the 30ft range?

You ward a creature within range against attack. Until the spell ends, any creature who targets the warded creature with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. This spell doesn't protect the warded creature from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball.
If the warded creature makes an attack, casts a spell that affects an enemy, or deals damage to another creature, this spell ends.
The creature needs to be within 30 ft of you when you cast the spell on them. After that they can go wherever they want and the effect of the spell stays with them.
