That's a nice theory, but when G1 started, I published a nearly-full
spell list from the alpha-test.

Uh, would you rather not know them? Rich only listed them all because
I would have published the list anyway. There were many changes we
wouldn't know about yet, but we'd have to assume he'd done something
to change the "features" which dominated g1.
