     It works as intended for me: I can call the modified fuction with

     Maybe Mark was right and your "make install" did not work? Or maybe you

     I remembered those, but it turns out it wasn't installing the new 
plugin_python.so for some reason. Anyways, that's fixed now (for no 
apparent reason, but oh well), however theres one issue I'm having when 
I try make some archtypes using them; In order to store the spell data, 
I need to insert a rod in the object's inventory. The first try I did of 
that was embedding it in the arch like one can do with maps, but that 
didn't work. Then I tried by making treasurelists for the rods, however 
they failed to keep spell data that I embedded in the treasurelist.
I know that using treasurelists, and at the same time making custom rod 
arches for each of the spellswords would work, however I don't see that 
as being a very clean solution. Anybody have any better suggestions?

Thanks,
