I have thought about this before.

You still need in the spell index:
- spell name and version
- description
- website
- dependencies

Because a user will still like to search, view the website of the spell and look at what dependencies are required while you are offline. So the question is do you really save much downloading. I like the idea of downloading changes only.

I propose new sorcery model:
No more grimoire tarballs, scribe downloads indexes. Cast first checks these indexes, then downloads spell(s) and installs software.
Advantages:
Indexes are smaller, than full grimoire tarballs, thus it is possible to maintain many versions of one spell + version dependencies. Also, this model is ideal for sim's "web-interface sorcery".
