Thank you. And I do know that it is a deviation away from the rules. I'll clear up my post a little bit.

EDIT: Just cleaned up my original post. That should be more organized and cleared up a bit. Is it better? :)

Wow, color me impressed. I haven't had a chance to really sit down and look at the specifics of each spell, but I can tell you've taken the time to take this conversion very seriously.

If it's a matter of cost, you can always download OpenOffice. Or use Google Docs.

Google Docs is still not feature-rich for SJG submissions IMHO (of course, they may have something extra for Google Apps paying customers, as they purchased Quickoffice just for that). As for OpenOffice, the project got forked, and IMHO the best branch of the fork is LibreOffice.

BTW, what do the macros do? because I don't use MSOffice, normally and I don't have macros activated when i do. Without macros, I get a very nice list of spells and their energy costs plus how they were built, so I wonder what macros add.

It adds nothing. There are a couple of macros in there. I'm not at home so I can't look and tell you what they do. I added a keyboard shortcut to merge and center cells. It's nothing special! Haha. You aren't missing out.

Oh, awesome. I did a quick-and-dirty conversion a while back (though it still included some energy costs, since I wanted to hybridize it with Threshold magic), but that's definitely something I'm interested in. Get your laptop fixed and get back working on it!

It's a matter of hardware: my laptop is dead, and I'm having to do everything on my iPad until I can get a desktop system set up and working. (Personally, I prefer LibreOffice.)

But anyway, I plan on submitting the article to Pyramid when it's done; but if it gets rejected, I'll post it on the forums here.

While my internet was out last night I banged out about 3k words on the same topic... I've previously used this in a campaign years ago but it needed work to be fit for Pyramid. Hmm... I don't like doing competing articles if I can help it. :-/
