Ive been trying to go through the stock smaug spells (ver 1.9) and examine how each is working, how much dmg they do, etc. For spells with their own code this is relatively easy, however all the spells which use the spell_smaug code, the only place I can find to see what they are doing is in the skills.dat list. However on the "affects" line I cant figure out what is what. In the documentation on creating new spells it shows how to start one from scratch but not how to view/modify the mechanics of currently existing spells. Any thoughts?

Tried slookup (MUD command) on it?
Awesome, thank you. Cross referencing slookup with the affects line in skills.dat gives me a much better picture of what is going on.
