           Summary: All dependencies are ignored if one does not exist
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: 1.x Series
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Cast
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: charkins AT pobox.com


This isn't really a huge show stopper as it requires a listed dependency to 
not
be a valid spell. However, I still consider it a bug in how sorcery is 
handling
dependencies. This could prove to be a problem with cross-grimoire 
dependencies
if one of the grimoires is not installed. I'll attempt to describe the problem
with a simple case:

 * foo, bar and null are spells
 * foo and bar are valid spells
 * spell null does not exist in a grimoire
 * none of the three spells are currently installed

foo/DEPENDS:
  depends bar &&
  depends null

Casting foo will not cause bar to be cast.

foo/DEPENDS
  depends null &&
  depends bar

Order does not make a different, in this case casting foo will also not cause
bar to be cast.

Expected behavior (few possibilites):

  1) missing/invalid spell null is ignored but bar *is* cast
  2) the entire cast fails with a "missing dependency" error message
