      You yourself said we aren't supposed to overload anymore..  :)  I don't think

      any of the current fields available make sense for these anyhow.
     
     
  Yeah, I agree.  I was just trying to think if there was anything else I'm 
missing that would need to add.

     The defensive, range, and onself can largely be derived from the

      What if I want to make a cone of healing?  What about area effect protection

  Probably the best way is to support negative damage values.

  Eg, bolt of healing, subtype bolt, damage = -10, attacktype godpower, etc. 
Code would need to be modified to properly deal with negative damage values - 
proably just easiest to do something like have hit_map or one of those fucntions 
check for negative damage values, and if so, call different routine.  Arguably, 
attacktype for healing spells could just be ignored, in which case you don't 
even need an attacktype.
