If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Lightning Bolt
Fires a mighty bolt of lightning. It inflicts less damage than other similar
bolts, but its damage partially bypasses armour and it can be bounced off walls
to hit targets twice.
Level: 5 Schools: Conjuration/Air Fail: 100%
Power : #.........
Range : @--->...
Hunger: ######.
Noise : Extremely loud
This spell will have no effect right now because you don't have enough magic.

e: Thanks Doesn't. If there were to be a short, 3 character, form for each spell schol (Conjurations -> Cnj, Necromancy -> Ncr, etc) you could cut down the longest strings to 11 characters which should be enough room.

that's spelltype_short_name(), which is used in a few places. (most notable is probably Ru's Sacrifice Arcana.)
could work, anyway. patches welcome.

2. Noise mechanics are spoilery in that it is valuable to have knowledge of them beyond what is readily available through normal play. This is especially true of loud noises.
3. Loud noise is not needed to maintain balance of spells. These loud direct damage spells are not even the best way to kill things if you only use magic, but they sure make the most noise.
