-You don't really eliminate the need for a spell editor, you just lessen it if you're trying to change something simple. It will still be quite a hassle to heavily modify spells, especially many spells without one.
-You force people who wrote their spell editors to have to rewrite them for both systems, or you can continue to use them and then convert it over to the database but then what's the point.
-You've eliminated the need for a tool to need to write a spell file parser to get spells(which is incredibly simple btw).
-In my opinion you made it harder on new users who now have to try to figure out 'hey there's two systems for spells, wait do I need them both? I can't find the db table I need anywhere help!!'.
Lots of cons, a few pros. I personally just don't think it's a worthwhile idea.
