This is the big problem I have in battle. Not to complain about such an excellent upgrade, but when I
first read about it I thought "cool, I can make my spell colors a different color than everyone else's --
it will be *so* easy to twist." Very disappointed to find out that all I can do is change all spell
colors.

I tried turning off other spells in the chat filter, but that's bad because I regularly group with both a
necro and a druid. I need to keep track of whether the mob has been 'darked' or 'snared' so I don't
accidentally break it with Chains.

I was in Kunark for levels 17-23 and could only twist two songs there, unless I got lucky and we were
fighting somewhere where I was facing a wall or some other such boring background. Since I got back, I am
having a lot of difficulty getting back into the rhythm of twisting three songs, which is very
frustrating, because I used to be able to do it automatically (no counting to three, I just *knew* when to
change songs). Now I watch closely for my spell messages. I've filtered out the battle spam, which is
helping. But if my spell colors would just show up a different color from the necro's and the druid's
(and the NPC's - which I think should be able to be made yet a third color) my life would be so much
easier.

p.s. I made spells hot pink, which is really showing up great in both full screen and windowed view: Red
