New class/realm.magic/spells system.

HI,

This is how spells will be defined :

spell_type spells[MAX_REALM][32] =
{
   /*Miracles */
   {/* Level , Mana, Fail, Exp for first time, spellname, spoiler*/
   { 1, 1, 30, 4,      "Detect Evil",                  "Detects all evil creatures that are nearby.",},  
   { 3, 2, 35, 4,      "Cure Light Wounds",            "Cures you of 2d10 damage, and reduces bleeding.",},
   { 4, 3, 35, 4,      "Bless",                        "Blesses you, giving you a +5 bonus to armour class and a +10 bonus to hit.",},
   { 5, 5, 35, 4,      "Remove Fear",                  "Stops you from being afraid.  ",},
   { 7, 7, 35, 4,      "Call Light",                   "Lights the area that you are in with a permanent light - possibly damaging some creatures",},
   { 9, 8, 40, 4,      "Detect Traps and Secret Doors" "Finds all traps, stairs and secret doors in your surrounding area.",},
   { 12, 12, 40, 3,    "Cure Medium Wounds",           "Cures you of 4d10 damage, and reduces bleeding.",},
   { 15, 14, 45, 3,    "Satisfy Hunger",               "Removes all hunger, leaving you comfortably full.",},

etc...

This is how class related spell casting will be defined, with 'the mage' as the gold standard.

};

I am planning on
 - Deep objects that can increase your skill-level ( Sorcerous Orb, etc ) in 1 realm , potentially more but unlikely
 - A race matrix that can increase or decrease your skill level per realm ( ogre descendant should be good with death )
 - Catalogue all spells and allow races / birthsigns maybe even classes to be better in a specific set of spells
   ( example : catalog all spells : violet/non-violent and allow Palladins/Hell Knights to be be more proficient with the violent ones )
   ( example : catalog all spells with a GF_FLAG, then let kobolds be more proficient with spells that have GF_POISON ( poison cloud etc. )

I have also completely revamped corruptions into something more structured so I can more easily get it into my T-Module :

corruption_type corruptions[COUNT_CORRUPTIONS]={
   /*Byte   Flag                Gain message                                               Odds  Loose Message                                             Description */
   { 1,     COR1_SPIT_ACID,     "You gain the ability to spit acid.",                        4,"You lose the ability to spit acid.",                       " You can spit acid (dam lvl).",                           },
   { 1,     COR1_BR_FIRE,        "You gain the ability to breathe fire.",                    3,"You lose the ability to breathe fire.",                    " You can breathe fire (dam lvl * 2).",                    },
   { 1,     COR1_HYPN_GAZE,    "Your eyes look mesmerizing...",                            2,"Your eyes look uninteresting.",                            " Your gaze is hypnotic.",                                 },
   { 1,     COR1_TELEKINES,    "You gain the ability to move objects telekinetically.",    2,"You lose the ability to move objects telekinetically.",    " You are telekinetic.",                                   },
