[PnP] book mechanics..

[Scott Adams]

MEL/EL can be different in terms of sop 
procedures.  So a green line worker at a facory 
is learning the ropes.  If he is asked to write 
it down hes bound to forget steps.  But a line 
worker 20 years on line can write it down in his sleep.
So same with spells.  The flair, procedures, 
methods and style reflect MEL/EL changes.
BUt yeah this why I wanted this topic to figure 
out some mechanic for spell ELs in such 
items.  So hopefully more will comment on my formula and such.

THanks.
