I think that not only magic spell, but other commands
( save winpos etc. ) are difficult to remember.
And inputing commands is very bother.

I think zsh-like command expansion may very useful.
For example;
	>cast [tab]
-->
	fireball *, summon *
-->
	>cast s[tab]
-->
	>cast summon[tab]
-->
	water elemental, air elemental, fire elemenal
	>cast summon [tab]
-->
	>summon water elemental[tab]
-->
	>summon air elemental[return]

	>pe[tab]
-->
	>peasefull[return]

Of cause, unknown magic spells are not listed.
