Subject: Reading spell data


Thanks to all you guys trying to make sense of the new songs from the
data file. help us to try to understand what is going on, but I just
wanted to point out what GZ said about the procedure.

From Archmage answers:
Q: Why is [X] spell worse then [Y] spell? I used [insert name of program
that strips spell information here], and...
A: OK - STOP. All of those nifty programs that supposedly strip out the
information for our spell are nice for reading what class can cast the
spell, or the text that the spell displays when it is cast - but then
again, a good website can tell you that. I've checked out a lot of those
programs, and I have yet to see one that ACCURATELY tells the effects of
a spell. At this point, I would trust information from websites more
then I would from one of these programs. The information from webistes
usually comes from players who have gotten the data first hand.
