Spell/Skill List [by Raven Jade Kenago]

From: Raven Jade Kenago <raventhorne@YAHOO.COM>
Subject: new skill/spell list code

To use this, replace the list_skills in spec_procs.c with this code. I
took it from some mods I made to my code and it should work fine on almost
any circlemud. Mine is patch level 12, this is pretty basic stuff. But it
frees all the newbie implementors of the constant question "How do I give
a class both skills and spells?" This way they can have both and it will
list them properly, either under the skills list or spells list. In this
code it is set up so that warriors and thieves will not get a spell
listing because it is assumed they have no spells. All gods will have
skill and spell listings because after immhood class is irrelevant in what
you will know. See the comment in the code for where to change it to
allow/exclude spells to certain classes.

  if (!GET_PRACTICES(ch))
    strcpy(buf, "You have no practice sessions remaining.\r\n");
  else
    sprintf(buf, "You have %d practice session%s remaining.\r\n",
            GET_PRACTICES(ch), (GET_PRACTICES(ch) == 1 ? "" : "s"));

  sprintf(buf, "%sYou know of the following skills:\r\n", buf);

  strcpy(buf2, buf);
