           Summary: Enhance how `cast` displays list of spells to be cast
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Cast
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
        ReportedBy: MatthewClark AT InLesserTerms.net


This is merely an enhancement idea (if someone hasn't thought of it already).

As we all know, when casting a spell which has dependancies, or simply 
casting a
list of spells in the same command,  dependancies are checked and then a
columnar list "Spells are to be cast" is displeyed with the option to 
continue.

But what if the list was somehow made to be listed in the order sorcery 
intends
to install them, as well as being noted with a number.  It's not a functional
improvement, per se.  Rather, it would be quite handy to the end-user.

For example, suppose I cast one spell which ends up having dependancies which
have dependancies, and so on.  Now I have twelve spells that are to be cast.  
I
think it'd be nifty to see that list if spells in numeric order.  And as each
spell is started, echo a line that says something like "Starting spell 3 of
12...".  That way, while I'm watching all of that text fly by, I can tell how
far the task has gone, and how much is left to go.

I have more ideas regarding this directly, but I'll keep them to myself for 
now,
pending this idea is even accepted.
