Hi Everyone, 

 I've been thinking long and hard about the problems we've run into
 with the sorcery spell. I don't want to get into the details of these
 problems (that's another discussion), but I was thinking of a semi
 major change to the sorcery command.

 We'd no longer have sorcery be a spell at all. It would be updated
 via it's own command line parameter. The various params would be
 something line this:

sorcery update        : Only updates the sorcery spell, based on which 
                        branch you are tracking (set in the sorcery menu).

sorcery system-update : This would do the actions sorcery update currently
                        does (update grimoire, spells etc.)

sorcery queue         : Generates a queue of spells that need to be 
                        updated. This could also be system-queue, not
                        sure.


 I'd like to get a discussion going about this, perhaps some better ideas
 will come of it (There are things I like about this idea, and things
 I don't like).

 Thanks.
