Tips for Writing Spells

If you follow these tips, more people will read your spellbook and return time and time again.

1. Check your spelling - Write out words completely.
   Good: "This spell will make you more powerful."
   Bad: "This spell will make u more powerful"
2. Use proper capitalization - Capitalize the name of your spell like book titles.
   Good: Make Yourself Stronger
   Bad: MAKE YOURSELF POWERFUL
   Bad: make yourself powerful
3. Keep the summary short - One sentence that says what the spell does.
   Good: This spell makes you more powerful against physical attacks.
4. Use HTML - You really only need to know 3 things:
   1. Adding the following <p> will make a paragraph break. This a double spaced line between two paragraphs. Breaking the instructions up into paragraphs makes the spell easier to read.
   2. Adding the following <br> will make a line break. This is a single spaced line, useful when you want to start a new line right under the previous one, like when you have a spell to chant.
   3. Adding the following <chant> will indent and italisize a segment of the spell instructions. Put </chant> where you want this effect stopped. Whenever your spell asks the caster to say something, wrap it inbetween <chant> and </chant>.
   4. Do not use any other HTML unless you are absolutly sure you know what you are doing.
5. Do not include information about who added the spell in the spell itself. A link is automatically created when you add a spell that links back to your profile, so people will always know who added what spells. Adding a line saying you created the spell makes the spell look unprofessional.
