Default Searchable Spells

Ok, I asked before and it didn't exist. So I decided to make a searchable database of spells. Thanks to Sunray's excel file I got at:

http://www.freewebs.com/sunray_dom2

I exported the spells and imported them into a database you can see at:

http://www.sangster.org/dominions/grimorie.php

You can search by spell name, type, school, class, gem cost, fatigue, level, and Primary Element (which I believe is path - I just used what was in Sunray's spreadsheet). All results are sorted alphabetically. I also added a column which tells what page each spell is found on in the manual.

Note that this isn't pretty or anything, so if you're looking for a visually stimulating web site this ain't it! But if you want spells, this should work ok.

Let me know if this is of any use to anyone.

Darryl

P.S. If Illwinter is here and this violates any copyrights just say the word and I'll take the page down.

Darryl,

I haven't been to the site, but if Illwinter objects to in on intellectual property grounds, it is my hope that they will allow the exact data to be hosted on this board at something stickied to the top. Because the way the spells are organized in the manual with no index basically invites folks to do what you have done.

Thanks for doing this.

That's what I'd think, but you never know. I remember when various companies tried to shut down sites that did fan fiction even though it was given away. I even remember sites dedicated to movies and such being shut down even though the sites just extolled the virtues of the movie!

No problem. It's gotten to the point that I just wasn't casting spells as I couldn't organize info efficiently. And since I had already programmed a personal address book in the same way I just hacked the code into what I posted.

One of these days maybe I'll finish it. Or maybe even put something else on the site!
