Magic Classification

[Martin Gallo <martimer@mindspring.com>]

Hello all,

I have not played in far too long a time, and many rules are just 
vague memories now. While trying to refresh my memory using the third 
edition, and simultaneously create a database that contains all the 
spells and descriptions and particulars, I discovered a couple of 
interesting questions that I could not resolve.

I seem to recall something about not being able to progress in 
Special Knowledge spells/rituals until a certain number of General 
Knowledge spells/rituals are known (to a certain rank) or something 
like that. Am I just getting confused, or are there such rules? If 
so, what paragraph?

How do people classify the following spells and rituals - General or 
Special Knowledge:

Wizards Mark

Dispell (and where is this located?)

Death Curse

Ritual of Self Preparation

Ritual of Purification

Investment

Focus Ritual

Ward

Geases

Minor Curses (I added this for all colleges somewhere along the way - 
the rules seem to indicate that only certain colleges can do Minor 
Curses).

Major Curses

Curse Removal


If somebody already has a spell database, that would certainly make 
my life easier. I thought I did my yoeman duty on the creature 
database a couple of years ago.

Thanks,

Marty
