Template talk:MW Spell

New Modes

I see a lot of areas that list spells but display hardcoded values for their respective costs and effects. I'm thinking of leveraging this template to reduce that kind of redundancy. To that end, I plan to add a few more modes and parameters:

mode=vendor

Previously mode=table, used for listing spells sold by NPCs (eg. MW:Arrille#Spells); this still remains the default behaviour.

mode=school

Will be used for listing spells in their respective schools of magic (eg. MW:Restoration Spells#Panacea)

Spell	Cost	Name	Location
Panacea Cure Blight Disease on Self Cure Common Disease on Self Cure Poison on Self	120	Galero Andaram	Sadrith Mora, Telvanni Council House, Chambers
		Guls Llervu	Ald'ruhn, Guls Llervu's House
		Melie Frenck	Vivec, Telvanni Temple

mode=console

Will be used for pages like MW:Powers and MW:Spells, where the spell's id is of greater relevance compared to other instances.

Name	Effect	Actual Cost	Expected Cost
Blessings of the Fourth Corner shrine_alddaedroth_sp	Fortify Intelligence 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Fortify Luck 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Fortify Personality 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Fortify Willpower 1-25 pts for 14400s [sic] on Touch  Drain Intelligence 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Drain Luck 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Drain Personality 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch  Drain Willpower 1-25 pts for 1440s on Touch	23868	15912

hidecost=1

Simply hides the cost of the spell, regardless of the mode. Will be used for MW:Powers.

Name	Effect	Obtained
Adrenaline Rush adrenaline rush	Fortify Agility 50pts for 60secs on Self  Fortify Endurance 50pts for 60secs on Self  Fortify Speed 50pts for 60secs on Self  Fortify Strength 50pts for 60secs on Self  Fortify Health 25pts for 60secs on Self	Redguard racial ability

rowspan=N

If mode=table (or, moving forward, table-like, eg. console, school, vendor), simply adds the rowspan attribute to the table cells. Will be used in <School of Magic> Spells pages (eg. MW:Alteration Spells)

I'll implement these changes at a later date, when I have more time. In the meantime, any additional input, feedback or comments will be welcome. Salamangkero (talk) 13:45, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

These all look great! – Robin Hood ^(talk) 14:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
