build a new view of the data. quite simple really. It would be different
from 'modify' spells, and probably would require another type of entry in
the costs table, but it's not fundamentally different from a slightly more
complicated spell... it would require more than a simple update query,
but nothing too terrible... Thanks for pointing it out. I had forgotten
about them. :)
