Hi.

Nice idea to have spells :)
Imagine a sword casting a fireball, something like that :)

After checking, the issue is that your rod doesn't have the "map" 
field correctly set. So when cast_spell calls get_map_flags 
(spell_util.c:1041), op being said rod, its map is NULL, which is a 
Bad Thing (tm).
The solution seems to do:
  	CFPython.CastAbility(activator, spellrod, spellname, direction, "")

ie swap activator & spellrod.
That seems to work, as far as i can tell (even though i wonder why i 
get a lightning when the spell is chaos spray...)
