+    There are many, MANY new spell, all 3E, and some odd ones (mostly cantrips)
+    for menal use (there is one, for example, to remove invisiblity off them-selves)
+
+    Most spells are exactly to D&D specific. Because they all are, it may
+    unbalance some things. I don't impliment the 3.5 rules - Ie I don't have them,
+    and have been using the source code on the net anyway.

+    Notes on Unique Fire Functions
+    ------------------------------
+    Some of these actually make the caster csat the spell again. Special AI
+    supports NPC's casting these, and PC's must not cancle thier spell
+    cycle. Things like "call lightning" is an example, where the caster
+    must concentrate for extra rounds.
+
+    Note, in these spells, there are toggles :-) you can turn of specific ones
+    (module wide, single person), or all of them (Evil!).
+
+    Note: I have not supported Null Magic areas. There is an effect,
+    EffectSpellFailure, which is better.
+
+    List of constants, variables and markers for areas:
+
+    - Sample Name -    - Type -         - Description -
+    J_S_1              Local Integer    If there is a local integer, on the module
+                                        or player, of "J_S_" + Spell Number, it
+                                        will stop it working.
+
+    J_PLA_INDOORS      Placeable object These toggle settings. They are, if used,
+                                        DM run things. If they are placed, they
+                                        make the area X, or Y.
+                                        DM's can talk to them, to remove them.
+                                        They are otherwise plot. Best kept out of sight of PC's.
+    J_PLA_INDOORS       " "             - Makes the area outdoors.
+    J_PLA_OUTDOORS      " "             - Makes the area outdoors.

+
+SPELL FORMAT (3rd Edtion snippit. Its the same in NwN)
+
+Each spell description follows the same format. This section discusses that
+format and some of the fine points of how spells work.
+
+Name: This is the name by which the spell is generally known.
+
+School, Subschool, and Descriptors: This is the school to which the spell
+        belongs. "Universal" refers to a spell that belongs to no school. If the spell
+        is a subtype within a school, the subschool is given here (in parentheses).
+
+Any descriptors that apply are given here [in brackets].
+
+Schools: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion,
+        Necromancy, and Transmutation.
+
+Subschools: Conjuration: creation, healing, and summoning; Enchantment: charm
+        and compulsion; Illusion: figment, glamer, pattern, phantasm, and shadow.
+
+Descriptors: Acid, chaotic, cold, darkness, death, electricity, evil, fear,
+        fire, force, good, language-dependent, lawful, light, mind-affecting,
+        sonic, and teleportation.
+
+Level: This is the relative power level of the spell. This entry includes an
+        abbreviation for each class that can cast this spell. The "Level" entry
+        also indicates if a spell is a domain spell and, if so, what its level is.
+
+Class Abbreviations: Brd (bard), Clr (cleric), Drd (druid), Pal (paladin), Rgr
+        (ranger), Sor (sorcerer), Wiz (wizard).
+
+Domains: Air, Animal, Chaos, Death, Destruction, Earth, Evil, Fire, Good,
+        Healing, Knowledge, Law, Luck, Magic, Plant, Protection, Strength, Sun,
+        Travel, Trickery, War, and Water.
+
+Components: This entry indicates what the character must have or do to cast the
+        spell. If the necessary components are not present, the casting fails.
+        Spells can have verbal (V), somatic (S), material (M), focus (F),
+        divine focus (DF), or experience point cost (XP) components, or any
+        combination thereof.
+
+If the material component, focus or define focus has an GP cost, the cost is
+        listed; otherwise the character can assume that the actual materials
+        involved are at the discretion of the caster and have no significant
+        monetary value.
+
+Material components are always consumed during the casting of a spell; a focus
+        or divine focus is not. If a special focus or divine focus is required,
+        it will be unique to the spell and cannot be used as the focus for other
+        spells.
+
+Casting Time: The time required to cast a spell.
+
+Range: The maximum distance from the character at which the spell can affect a target.
+
+Target or Targets/Effect/Area: This entry lists the number of creatures,
+        dimensions, volume, weight, and so on, that the spell affects. The entry
+        starts with one of three headings: "Target," "Effect," or "Area." If the
+        target of a spell is "the character," the character does not receive a
+        saving throw, and spell resistance does not apply. The saving throw and
+        spell resistance headings are omitted from such spells.
+
+Duration: How long the spell lasts.
+
+Saving Throw: Whether a spell allows a saving throw, what type of saving throw
+        it is, and the effect of a successful save.
+
+Spell Resistance: Whether spell resistance (SR), a special defensive ability,
+        resists this spell.
+
+Descriptive Text: This portion of the spell description details what the spell
+        does and how it works.
