I tested your idea with the categories and the different names... It doesn't work.--Tribun 13:54, 1 March 2011 (PST)

Besides it still not working, please look at Death Bolt how it messes up formatting.--Tribun 14:03, 1 March 2011 (PST)

Ultima III - Key to cast

I want to put in, like, 'B' for appar Unem or 'H' for Alcort. Should I put that into Incantation or do we need a new parameter? -- Fenyx4 08:15, 23 March 2011 (PDT)

How is the incantation from U1 used? Is it used in-game, or is it only a manual thing? I think it would be ok to use the Incantation parameter (and in that case, we should also do this for the U4 spells), if it conveys the same meaning.--Sega381 13:56, 23 March 2011 (PDT)

You should add a new parameter. The U1 incantation is just something said when the spell is cast; the keyboard commands in U3 are good to know because they aren't as obvious as in U4, for example. --polygoncount (Polygon Dragon -==(UDIC)==-) 16:55, 23 March 2011 (PDT)

Distance / Rage

It would be useful to have a distance or range attribute for spells. Blink in Ultima IV, for example, will transport one's party 22 overland spaces, and this is good to know if one is attempting to hit certain spots "just right". Uniblab (talk) 03:34, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok. More thought may want to be put into it though for games like the Underworlds and everything else after U6. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 21:25, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Formatting: all text left justified

I've now arranged for all text to be left justified. I think it makes everything look better, but it's not a great solution. At least, not for someone who doesn't like magic numbers. The problem I encountered when applying the justification is that the data columns didn't line up between games. This appears to be because of the width=200px; style for the table. Because that's there, the label column takes all the space it can w/out crowding out the data column. The solution was to give the label column 55% of the width and hope for the best.

A future solution might be to parametrize these widths (I think you can do that) so overrides can be made for specific articles where the increase in magic numbers makes things look bad.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 10:58, 17 March 2022 (MDT)
