As opposed to re-vamping the entire spell-casting routines to allow
objects to cast spells, I basically duplicated all of my spellcasting
code for traps and made it so that an object was the caster. Not that
hard, just tons of work and tons of code. It's probably a horrid way of
doing it because of all the duplicated code, but that's how I did it and
it works.
