Becuz, the programmers wanted to find out if a given person using the game was cool
Seriously, I have no idea about the "cool" variable. But since the spell code is incomplete, I thought about re-writing the entire magic DB. Problem is, I cannot recall ALL the spells, and all my books are up in michigan. I was there recently trying to take care of business but my luggage was full of stupid necessities and couldn't be replaced by 40+ pounds of 1st- & 2nd Edition books.
I was lucky enough to bring 2 books back for assistance with mod design.
