I added it in mobact.c... just do something like:
if(IS_NPC(ch))
switch(GET_CLASS(ch)) {
case CLASS_MAGIC_USER:
do_mob_mage_specials(ch);
break;
case CLASS_CLERIC:
do_mob_cleric_specials(ch);
break;
etc etc etc
}
Then add the functions to check for mobs level and call the call_magic
functions and whatnot. As for mana, add a check in spell_parser where it
takes away the mana for the spell and if it's a mob, dont make it take away
mana. Why? Because if a mob can run out, players will abuse this fact, use
charmies or pets or lv 1 characters to make the mob waste it's mana, THEN
fight it.
The good part about putting the check in mobiule_activity in mobact.c is
that they can cast non-combat spells... healing, spells that create things
(I have a flame blade spell for druids... if a druid mob doesnt have a
weapon for a long enough period of time, he makes and wields one), etc...
All without spec_procs for individual mobs.
