The idea behind this is more focused at "General" PREP PHRASES, to give an option to designate one for specific spells, at the moment it feels like a moot point to get more then one general phrase. There's a lot of these out there, and its a shame that the way the system is designed we can essentially only have one general set at a time. I love many of the spell preps at RW, and EG has some great ones too...but if I can only set one at a time, I dont feel compelled to buy more then one. Anywho, I'll be using my own phrases as an example. This is how they appear in the current system.

1. A soft, white glow briefly surrounds you as you focus your thoughts on the [Spell Name] spell... (Restricted to Minor Spirit spells.)
2. Seven phantom tentacles sprout from the base of your spine and wrap around you in a binding embrace as you prepare [Spell Name]...
3. Tiny colorful twinkling motes gather in the palm of your hand as you prepare the [Spell Name] spell...


The idea here is to designate numbers to a special spell. Such as PREP PHRASE 2 701 to assign #2 to Blood Burst. We could even do this to assign spells to the same phrase. (Illustrated below)

1. A soft, white glow briefly surrounds you as you focus your thoughts on the [Spell Name] spell... (Restricted to Minor Spirit spells.)
2. Seven phantom tentacles sprout from the base of your spine and wrap around you in a binding embrace as you prepare [Spell Name]... (Assigned to 701, 704, 706)
3. Tiny colorful twinkling motes gather in the palm of your hand as you prepare the [Spell Name] spell... (Assigned to 401, 406, 414)


As you can see, Spell Prep #2 would be used for Blood Burst, Mind Jolt, or Phase and Spell Prep #3 would be used for Elemental Defense I, Elemental Defense II, and Elemental Defense III. We could also use this to assign multiple spell preps to a single spell, while this isnt neccessary, it would allow for additional flavor, by letting a spell "rotate" between diffrent spell preps.

1. A soft, white glow briefly surrounds you as you focus your thoughts on the [Spell Name] spell... (Restricted to Minor Spirit spells.)
2. Seven phantom tentacles sprout from the base of your spine and wrap around you in a binding embrace as you prepare [Spell Name]... (Assigned to 701)
3. Tiny colorful twinkling motes gather in the palm of your hand as you prepare the [Spell Name] spell... (Assigned to 701)


As you can see, Blood Burst is now assigned to two different spell preps, so, using this, it would pick one of the two at random.

Thank you for the consideration.
