True. I figured we'd get as many spells updated at the same time, though, but 
it
would be a good idea to give people time to update to the new Sorcery, first.

I like the approach of having Sorcery do it for us as that's how we've done
things in the past. If many spells use the same functionality, then it goes
into Sorcery, and for this /every/ spell uses it (either through default_build
or their own BUILD).
