I'm not sure if this would be an easier or a better wa y to do this, but
it might work. Just add the spell normally, as if it were for all races.
Then put something like this:
if (GET_RACE(ch) == RACE_HUMAN) {
send_to_char(ch, "Only ogres can cast this spell!");
break;
}
It would work (I think), and it would be relativly problem free.
