I agree with Sergey, and also Hamish, i remember the thread talking about cvs
spells. It will be better for the cvs users to use scribbler and scribe
his/her own cvs spell in his personal Grimoire. Modifing the DETAILS.
Also, this si utopic, but it will be great for further iso realeses (post
1.0) that sorcery will allowd to a SMGL user scribe his/her own Grimoire,
instead of loading all the Codex.
