	Here is my solution to this problem. While in D&D you don't have
to learn a spell of similar but weaker power you just learn what you want.
but lets say that since the spells are similar why not make it easier for
someine to learn cure serious if they already know cure light still
enabling someone to just learn cure serious but not cure light. You could
group spells by catagory this way and someone could become a specialist
just by casting one type of spell all the time rather than saying when
they start the game.
