Hmm... perhaps I should add a 'weapons' category for maces, catapults,
ballistas, staves, etc. If anyone can think of a MOC that would fit into a
'magic' category but not these categories, maybe that's what Magic could be
for... otherwise I'd probably hold off until CW actually develops a gaming
side...

I think a weapons section would be great. Perhaps instead of a "magic"
section, we can title it "special effects" since I think that is what
Wilson was really trying to have a place for. Of course narative detail
is always nice on anything (I'd consider the description of a spell to
be such narative detail). I don't think Wilson is trying to describe the
spells to the level of detail one would for a game.

Hmm... maybe:
- Weapons
- Items (non-weapon generic things-- like a mirror or magic portal or
something)

And as for magical items, each character/item/weapon/place/structure/vehicle
could be marked as magical... hence if you looked up "magic" you could find • all
magical weapons, magical items, etc. Hence, it's not really its own category,
but it's a search criterion.

Dunno what to do with spells though... I suppose one could classify them as an
item or weapon even, but that doesn't quite seem to fit. I'm still not sure • I'm
keen on keeping track of spells-- at least not at present... dunno exactly...

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).
