What my sleep-addled brain tried to get across is that, while you can just overwrite the existing dbstr strings for your customized spells, that causes a bit of a pain when merging your changes into future releases of dbstr_us.txt.

If you instead use, say, spellid+100000 for your customized spell's descnum stringids, it'll be much easier to merge your customizations in the future, as you won't have to overwrite anything already existing in dbstr_us.txt, you can just copy/paste your additions in at the end.

I already did something similar using the 50000-52000 range since it's completely blank. Everything after that seems to be lore/books.

Question:

I've added a new spell (I copied celestial healing). It's ID is 33000. I set the descnum (the one that references ^6) to 50000. In dbstr_us I set the description appropriately for 50000^6^. I set the level, mana cost, etc and saved the spell. I downloaded the newest spells_us for myself. Rebooted server.

When I cast the spell it shows as a debuff though (red border) and isn't using the correct icon (I didn't change it, it's still the same icon as celestial healing).

Is there a piece I'm missing? Besides that it's working.
