Spell Descriptions

[crispex99]

Would it be possible to implement spell descriptions on the spells you purchase? I can and usually do look up the spells themselves, but every now and then one slips pasy me and I am unsure of what it does. On EQlive when you click on a spell (before you purchase it) it tells you what it does....and does the same thing in your spellbook. If this is possible I'd love it. Thanks guys (and gals too)

Could be done, and was for a bit, but as I understand, its not going to be in ever.

Yeah, that'd be a nice feature to have.

Spell Descriptions will not be in because Wiz does not desire them. Just like he doesn't desire Vah Shir.

This is strange to me. Especially if this is somewhat of a roleplay type server. You go to a merchant selling only a certain type of spell, that merchant would obviously know what that spell does. Even if he doesn't the first ffew times, eventually a customer would come back and say "hey, this spell does xyz" so then the merchant would eventually know what each spell does.

I'm definately not saying that you can't find out what these spells do. You could either use the spell to find out, or look it up, but would be extremely helpful.

If you cast identify on the spell scroll would it tell you what the spell does?

I dont think identify works, or at least Nur hasn't put anything into the identify slot of the item besides the item name (cast identify on an item, it comes up as the items name)
