  Uh, please imagine for a second what playing would be like.
Imagine typing all this garbage in while some monster is pounding
you.  JOY!

  What would happen is that everyone would bind a small subset
of these spells to keys.  This is fine, but what is the point?
Even as it is, people only use a small subset of the spells often.

  I like the idea a lot too, but crossfire is far too quick-paced
for this.....  It'd be adding a complicated feature which is mostly
unused.  Better to invest energy in a server-client split.
