		Hokay, you guys. We need to review what the purpose of this template is and adjust it accordingly. After all, I don't think we want to list all magic commands in it. So what should qualify an article to be listed here?

The command system made magic a lot more complicated and varied that's for sure. If we include all recurring magic the template gets too crowded, if we include only magic that can inflict status effects some magic groups have to go. Because the element articles only cover the games where the element actually makes a difference gameplay mechanic wise, they're are not the best option either. Sorting the magic by it's main attribute (Organization XIII + dark) won't work either. What attribute has Reflect and is Cure a form of flower magic?

I think a satisfying solution would be to include only magic that is (subjective) more important than other, like it's done now only with more links. But still, I'm really not sure and I don't want this template to go either because its useful.

How about, everything that doesn't appear as a command, and then all the commands in a second, expandable row? Or a separate navbox completely?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 01:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I always thought this template covered base spells, ie Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, and more recently, Slow, Spark and Balloon. We could continue to do that here, and make a separate template for Magic Commands (and hopefully use this, as I've envisioned). mag gosh 02:08, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

		We could have sections for "prominent" magic, which would be KH and KHII magic (maybe others, maybe not); reccurring magic commands; and one-shot magic commands. (I wonder where Quake would go??) And then, if we want, we can have a bottom section for "magic-related" skills, like summons and D-Links. (Dunno about Debug Abilities, though...) EDIT: Collapsible sections would be appropriate for the magic commands.
