	Well, Im not the authour of this code. My impression from
	email with Mark a while back suggested that it is fairly
	old; ie predates 0.92.2. But perhaps this is wrong? 

	I have traced the problems with the spell-experience 
	problem to somewhere in the interaction of set_owner
	with the spellcasting object. Its pretty icky, and I am
	not 100% to finding a solution to this (hence my long
	delay in getting a patch for this bad bug). 

	I would love to hear from the authour also about how the 
	spellcasting object is supposed to work.
