1) When editing a shooter, I noticed in the magic spell list there are some spells missing:
For a more complete list I quote here Beowuuf's dmute manual (which is incredibly informative, by the way).

Spell:

Hex (3rd/4th) Effect

8 0 Fireball
8 1 Lightning bolt
8 2 ZO spell
8 3 Poison bolt
88 0 Poison blob (not available as a spell)
88 1 DES EW (destroy non-corporeal)
88 2 Fuse? (no effect on non-corp., Chaos or doors)
88 3 Poison cloud

2) For an object shooter, there is twice "nothing" in the list. And what would be the effect of a shooter of nothing anyway?

3) In DM, the game would crash if a shooter of "avalaible object" would run out of ammo. I tried to see what happens in CSBwin, but I still can't manage to play CSBuilt dungeons. Could anyone check this?

New note for shooters: If you have power = 0, you get a weak spell that fires 1/2 a tile no matter the range modifier and does barely any damage
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!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO MADE THE GAME WHAT IT WAS - GREAT!
