 I've cleaned this up. Now I just need to connect the maimings to the appropriate tables and add the effects to the appropriate spells. I've added a few new conditions that are re-used a lot such as Confusion and Slowed, as well as a few cases that aren't as awful as Stunned or Paralyzed for lower level play which could be useful when making monsters.  I've cleaned this up.
