Magic Patch

Hello everyone.
I would like to request for a patch similar to HyperGammaSpace’s Gaiden magic patch(Shout out to him by the way), but every magic is in one menu instead of two different menus, you can scroll to select which magic you want to cast, and mp was used to cast magic.

The source code is openly available for you to edit. It is written in C and should be a lot more accessible than asm if you’ve never done either.

            	for ( int i = 0 ; spells[i] ; i++ )
            	{
            		if ( spell == spells[i] ) { return 1; }
            	}
            	return 0;
            }
            
            
int GetSpellType(int spell)
            {
            	int wType = GetItemType(spell);
            	if ( wType == ITYPE_ANIMA || wType == ITYPE_DARK ) { return BLACK_MAGIC; }
            	else if ( wType == ITYPE_STAFF || wType == ITYPE_LIGHT) { return WHITE_MAGIC; }
            	else { return -1; }
            }
            
            
int GetSpellCost(int spell)
            {
            	return GaidenSpellCostTable[GetItemIndex(spell)];
            }
            
            
int GetFirstAttackSpell(Unit* unit)

I don’t know if staves will work in the black magic menu, but light magic should at least.
