[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7821750, member: 996"] You can find a given spell if you remember only it's name, or, if, say, the monster or NPC stat block you're looking at only mentions the name. That's about it, really. Quickly look up one spell. Having a good index of spells'd also work for that purpose. (But, y'know, good index, yeah, right.) For that matter, spells organized by class, then level, then alphabetically, worked pretty nicely back in 1e. You could browse through the spells your cleric or druid could cast - or your MU or Illusionist might learn - and get an idea of what you could do, at a given level. It just felt much more natural than looking at the spell list, and then looking up each spell, while trying to ignore all the cool spells of other levels & classes that happened to start with the same letter. ;( Rituals, and concentration, sure. Those'd be nice to know at a glance, since they can make a big difference to the learn or prep decision. Oh, you play D&D, you're probably at least a bit crazy. [/QUOTE]
