i do basically the same thing, but its more convenient for me to put
my custom grimoire in my spell developer's account. I also put 4 lines
in /etc/sorcery/local/grimoire, one for each grimoire with 0 and 1 in
the index, then i comment two out. It makes it easy to swap back and
forth. Say im testing a new version of s pell, i want my grimoire first,
but then i want sorcery updates to take presidence over my own dabblings,
i can just swap between them depending.
