Happy Tuesday, Adventurers!

This week I bring you updates to the SPELL verb to offer a new, column-formatted output for folks (like me!) who digest info differently. This was a project that I started looking into back around 2015-2016 before my break and was recently reminded of. There's a few angles to this one!

Typing SPELL hasn't changed -- the default output is still there. BUT, you can now use SPELL ALTERNATE to see the new column-formatted option and the additional info it provides. Additionally, for those who want that new style to be their default, the TOGGLE verb has a new SPELLBOOK option to let you do just that! If you enable that toggle, then SPELL ALTERNATE will show you the old linear format.

The SPELL verb also gained a HELP option for quick syntax viewing, and TOGGLE's usage info was reformatted.

Cheers to Paklin for tackling the QC for these updates! They should be live everywhere. Let us know if you notice any quirks!
