Ah, why bother... :)) *giggle*
Use events! :) they are nifty, easy to use and ooh-weee pretty! :))
Just make mag_manual spell where you do something like this:
First you make two or three events, which will display that nifty messages
and in the last one you actualy do what the spell would do.
in ASPELL just call that first event and send some messages to the char...
:)
I think this is the easiest way... *shrug*
David!
