Rework Tool tips - Apollo Densin - 10-13-2020
For the tool tip, there should be a Type section to it, here is an example
Fireball
Type: Direct shot
Essene shroud
Type: Aura
Blazing wave
Type: Wave
Unless you ask someone in ooc and they respond to you, there is no real way to know what exactly the type of spell is, this could also help you from buying multiple aura type spells since you can only use one

Agreed, & planned!

This only really works when all of the generics are in place, but the ones that ARE in place allow this to be done easily. Otherwise it requires modifying every spell in the code one by one instead of just generalizing categories for spells based on what generic they follow.
I'll add this now for the spells that easily allow it, but for things like auras, it'll have to wait until we (finally) get the aura generic done. Most stuff like projectiles, waves, aoes, etc are already under a generic so there's quite a few spells that would immediately get the update. But plenty of others that wouldn't.
