Spell Selection versus type of Staff

Matching spell to wand type does not matter for the +0 staffs and wands.

However once you get a +1 or better staff or wand the spells must match or you will not get all the keywords for extra damage.

Here is a list of the current spells and what Staff they match.

(I may at some stage generate a similar list for wands)

Arctic Winds (Secondary)
Burning Flume
Corrosive Rain
Deafening Roar (Secondary)

This zip folder contains csv files which you can open in any spreadsheet program. (Set the delimiter to be a semicolon).

Each file corresponds to a given weapon (one for every weapon in the dev's shared info). In that file is a sorted list of attacks and how many keywords they have in common with that weapon. Attacks which match perfectly to a weapon will be at the top and less ideal matches will be lower. Major keywords count as 4 while minors count as 1.

Experimental tabbed spreadsheet version, also with whether it's primary or secondary.
