Someone else suggested it in another forum - but having keyboard shortcut keys for the six spell icons (and associated tabs, obviously) for simultaneous hacking and spell-casting action...I liked the sound of it and wasn't sure if you anyone had seen it...
Or a further interesting option....the posibility of disabling the mouse for spell catsing...so you can only move or cast sells, not both at the same time....

Keyboard shortcut for spells
Was unable to (permenantly) kill off ian_scho (Haynuus), Ameena, oh_brother (Westian), money (Falkor), raixel (Petal) and Lord_Bones (Aurek) in the DM D&D game Time's Champions!

I always thought that a good idea..
To allow one to use the key board to do spells quickly ..
f1-f4 would be to go to the characters 1-4 backpack and f5-f8 could be used to set the current caster.
Now looking at the keyboard I think that insert to page down is 6 buttons that are conveinient enough to be usefull as spell symbols for quick casting.
1.2.3
4.5.6
..F
L.B.R
that's the layout .. pressing 'enter/return' would cast the current selected spell... yeah.. I just tested the movements and it feels natural .. kinda cool even..
This would be a very cool addition to the interface I think.. are you willing to try that out George?

Re: Keyboard shortcut for spells
The keyboard shortcut is cool - could you map the spellcasters to F9 - F12 instead/aswell for the next release, just so everything is a finger stretch away? : )
