One thing I would prefer is to upload this as a table and not work from a flat text file (nightmare to parse). It will create the file when you're done so that the spells will work in game.

I really wish the spells were in a table...

Yes, I think you are correct that this would be easier if it were in a table. If i was to write code for this is say vb.net i would have the program import the file to an SQL table seeing as we are all already using MySQL and then edit the DB to make changes then write a new .txt file for publication. as i am sure their are a ton of people already working on this i will most likely not hammer away at it however, i will play with it a little over the next week while i am off of work and see if i can't get a moderately functional design together for everyone to play with.
