I agree as well, but I think the reason we don't see more is the same
reason we don't see more variation in what our character is wearing (ie.,
cloth pieces not showing up, lack of modifiable colors, etc). Verant made
the decision long ago that they wanted to make the game accessible to the
greatest number of 3d cards possible which includes, unfortunately(1),
4meg cards. Thus, they had to severely limit the number of textures used
in the game, and I _think_ that spells may fall under that category.

(1) Unfortunately for those of us with greater that 4 meg cards, very
fortunately for those of us that might still have voodoo1 cards.
