Every time I go to write a new spell, I find the existing documentation to be more and more out of date. The existing docs also skim over most of what is often required to write a working spell. So I've decided to try to write a spell-writing guide for SourceMage 1.x, since hopefully with the feature freeze, they won't be adding/changing anything else in the spell format.[fingers crossed]

At the moment, it is in VERY rough draft form, but I'd like comments and suggestions.
For now it can be seen at http://www.spack.nu/~doubletwist/spellguide

At the moment it only goes through writing a VERY simple spell [only a DETAILS file].
I will be fleshing it out quite a bit in the days to come.

I would especially be interested in information regarding testing the spell before submitting it. There's got to be something more to test than casting it, dispelling it and re-casting it :)

Thanks for your input.
