I'd say add markers and add them from the spell, then on dispel remove
them and all in-between.

e.g.:
# Begin KevinMagic entries
Map Acorn.map
Map AnnSton.map
Map ArtNouvc.map
Map ArtNouv.map
# End KevinMagic entries

You'll want to replace "KevinMagic" with the spell name. :) 

Probably a Gentooism, though Debian does similar with other packages
(e.g. Apache), though some of those support includes (e.g. Apache) for
the packages to support it, rather than the distribution.
