Um, this would work I supose, but then you would have human who could
PRACTICE the spell, but never be able to cast it, which seems sorta silly.
You need to restrict the practicing of the spell to a certain race.
Then, If ya wanted to, you could grant the spell to humans who have
befriended the Ogre race (if ya wanted to role-play).
How you do this is your problem, I'm not much of a coder.
