its worth pointing out that if you do that, or decide to switch grimoires
around, upon a sorcery update it will try to reinstall anything that has
a different version number (up or down), this includes gcc even, so for
those spells one has to either edit them out of the install file every
update, or put them on hold so sorcery update ignores them.
