#339, "make the SPELLS command...."

work more like SKILLS when using it specifically. (i.e. SPELLS "word of recall")
when you use SKILLS this way, you can abbreviate the skill you're entering, but it doesn't seem to work this way with spells. With spells, it seems you have to type out the whole spell name, including quotes for multiple words, whereas with skills, you don't need the quotes OR multiple words, unless two skills begin with the same word.
sp light You know no such spell.
sp lightbind Your ability in the spell lightbind is at 81%(81%), and it costs 80 mana.
sp conjure You know no such spell.
sp conjure elemental You know no such spell.
sp "conjure elemental" Your ability in the spell conjure elemental is at 81%(81%), and it costs 100 mana.
sk par Your ability in the skill parry is at 77%(77%).
sk sec Your ability in the skill second attack is at 85%(85%).

That's because there are a crapload more spells than skills, and it will match the FIRST one it comes across. In case of lightbind, you just tried to check your ability in the lightning bolt spell. Try spell lightb. In the case of conjure, you checked against conjure animal, you'd have to do spell 'conjure e'
I'm leary to change the lookup function because it's probably used in many different places and I don't know what it would impact. So long, and thanks for all the fish!

#347, "what about the need to use quotes?"

With sp conjure e, you still need to start with quotes. I notice that sp word works just find. Why is it that some multi-word spells seem to work without quotes, and others need it?

Multi-word spells without quotes are the equivalent of the first word. So "sp conjure animal" will work because it's really doing "sp conjure" which is for conjure animal. Any spell that requires the second word needs the quotes around it. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
