  Well, one could argue that per quest artifact monsters/items really should not 
be in the archetypes as is.  Instead, a generic (and probably weaker) version 
should be in the default archetypes - one that can be re-used, and the map just 
customizes that how it wants.

  To some extent, it is reasonable to expect that if something is in the 
archetypes, it is fair game to use however.

  Well, the simple test would be that if it won't be randomly generated in a 
spellbook, it should be considered a quest spell.  IF it can be found randomly 
in a spellbook, then making them all available isn't a big deal.

  However, the new spell code I'm currently working on confuses this some - 
there is still a list of spells that will be found in a spellbooks, but one 
could now easily customize/create a new spell with just changes of the object 
(eg, a huge fireball just requires increasing the 'range' of the spell).
