/var is definetely *not* what we should do. The rule has been thus far,
for anything requiring it's out heirarchy (i.e. java/lib java/bin etc.)
it all goes in /opt.  (i.e. /opt/java/lib etc.)

So then, maybe the spell could create a file to be sourced, and echo
this info after the spell is cast.

The only problem I could see with this, is if you are casting allot of
stuff, you might miss the message.

Maybe we should have a: 'gaze notes <spell>'  for this kinda stuff? to get
instructions, or reminders that are displayed after a spell is cast.
