Summary:	0007515: Want descriptions for monster spells.
Description:	Now that monster spell names are visible it would be nice if they had descriptions so they could be viewed with ?/s . For the most part, they just need to be added to dat/descript/spells.txt . The search results menu should perhaps sort player spells first, so that things like "?/sBlink" aren't quite so overwhelming (they are already colour-coded). It would also be a nice bonus if the player could navigate to the description for a spell directly from the spell list in the monster description. The list of monster-only spells is quite long. Cantrip and Melee are excluded from monster descriptions so don't need spell descriptions ("Melee" already has a description, but it's really about the rod of striking). Some of the following (like "draconian breath") might never show up and thus need to be removed from this list. Spell descriptions don't have to be quite as detailed as for player spells. Finally, remember that, while they're all called "spells" in the code, some of them are spells, some are divine abilities, some are magical abilities, some are natural abilities, and some appear in more than one of these categories on different monsters. The category depends on the monster's flags (priest, fake spells, actual spells) rather than the spell itself.
