Betcha you didn't expect to see this series again! I personally had totally forgotten that I had once planned to convert all the 5E spells to the GLOG format. But yesterday, the Muse overtook me and I was compelled to begin once more. This time I have handled another four letters.
As per last time, I have combined redundant spells and cut ones that take away player choices or otherwise make the game less interesting, though this time I was far more generous with my scalpel. Perhaps it is a sign of my growing weakness.
Part 1 is here.
