Dr. Awkward said:That's why I say that including the setting-specific names would help preserve continuity. It's because you can exclude spells that shouldn't be in a particular world. A spell created by Mordenkainen shouldn't be in FR. But if it doesn't say that Mordenkainen wrote it, you might include it in an FR campaign by accident, only to find out later that you're crossing genres.
Indeed. I understand that.
However, by that argument, those "named" spells have no place in the Spell Compendium because they only serve a small number of people. Far better to have more generic spells that everyone can use.
