A special effects area would still be usefull since not all special effects
need to be magical. I'd certainly like to see spells indexed somewhere, but I
guess one's interest in them varies depending on whether one wants magic in
one's own realm or not. That is one reason I separated all the fantasy type
stuff out into a separate page on my index pages.
If we don't end up with a place to index magic stuff on Castleworld, I'll be
happy to index folks magical effects on my pages (I'll probably do it anywise).
