This addon, Spellcraft, does a variety of things for the Mage Class.
All of which you can configure yourself using /spellcraft or /sc.
This addon is entirely modularized. This means that you pick the features
that you want, the rest do NOT stay in memory (i.e. the addon is only as big
as you want it to be). You can pick the modules you want using /spellcraft
when you are logged in. Additionally if you would like, you can
permenantly remove the modules yourself; they are all in this folder following
the naming convention: "Spellcraft.[Module].lua".
Below are some of the features you have availible to you:
--You can have this addon automatically equip your weapons/wand with the best
intelligence when you evocate. It will reequip your previous weapons when you
finish. As of WoW patch 2.4.3, you must use "/evocate" in a macro before
you cast Evocate for your Intellect weapons to equip.
--You can buy reagents (up to a certain number you can set with
"/changereagent"), sell your gray items, and repair all your items. Will
tell you when you need to purchase more reagents upon entering a city.
--You can use the slash command: "/bandagem" to messages healers in your
group/raid that are targetting you that you are bandaging yourself. It also
notifies your party. This can also be done automatically.
--Automatically Releases you from a BG.
--Makes a Minimap Button only for mages that, when clicked, will open a frame
with all the portals your level permits you to cast, along with your
hearthstone.
--The addon will give you a prompt to remove all your armor when you use
invisibility while in a group and leaving combat. It will then provide
a prompt to put all your gear back on.
--You can set up this addon to automatically whisper people that are targetting
your sheep, message your party, and message your raid. You can also use the
slash command: "/polym [f,t]". If you use this, TURN OFF automatic messaging.
For example: "/polym f" where f means your sheep is your focus, or use
"/polym t" where t means your sheep is your target. It messages people in
your group/raid/battlegroup ONCE that they are targeting your "focus" or
"target" and that you are polymorphing their target. Additionally, it has a
configurable set probable chance to say polymorph phrases when in a party or
raid, depending on your settings. These things you can configure with
"/polym config".
--Tells you who broke your sheep and with what attack/spell.
--This addon automatically collects garbage (recycles unused memory) of all
addons when you die or enter a place of rest. This helps minimize
computer lag (not netowrk lag!). Other conditionals for this may be added
in the future.

Installation Guide
- Exit "World of Warcraft" completely
- Download the mod you want to install
- Make a folder on your desktop called "My Mods"
- Save the .zip/.rar files to this folder.
- If, when you try to download the file, it automatically "opens" it... you need to RIGHT click on the link and "save as..." or "Save Target As".
- Extract the file - commonly known as 'unzipping'
Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!
- Windows
- Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed. Copy these outside to the "My Mods" folder.
- WinRAR: Right click the file, select "Extract Here"
- WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to "Use Folder Names" is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed
- Mac Users
- StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory.
- Verify your WoW Installation Path
That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods.
- Move to the Addon folder
- Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\)
- Go into the "Interface" folder.
- Go into the "AddOns" folder.
- In a new window, open the "My Mods" folder.
- The "My Mods" folder should have the "Addonname" folder in it.
- Move the "Addonname" folder into the "AddOns" folder
- Start World of Warcraft
- Make sure AddOns are installed
- Log in
- At the Character Select screen, look in lower left corner for the "addons" button.
- If button is there: make sure all the mods you installed are listed and make sure "load out of date addons" is checked.
- If the button is NOT there: means you did not install the addons properly. Look at the above screenshots. Try repeating the steps or getting someone who knows more about computers than you do to help.
Translations
When you download a mod, please be sure that the mod is compatible with your translation of wow. Some mods only work on the US versions, while some only work on some of the various European versions. These variations are called "Localizations".
TOC Numbers (Out of Date Mods)
When Blizzard patches WoW, they change the Interface number. This means that all mods will be "out of date" unless or until the author releases a new version for that interface. Some people go into the .toc files and update the numbers themselves, but this is STRONGLY advised against as it will cause problems locating possible incompatibilities addons. When you log into WoW after a patch, you DO NOT have to delete your interface directory. All you have to do is simply tell WoW to ignore the interface numbers and load all the mods anyway. All you have to do is, while at the "character select" screen, look in the lower left corner and click on the "addons" button. A window will pop up listing all your installed mods.
If you look in the upper left corner of that window there should be a box that says "Load Out of Date AddOns". You want to CHECK this box. Now simply go into WoW normally and all your mods should load. As of the 1.9 patch, you will have to do this after EVERY patch/update that Blizzard posts! If you encounter any problems with a mod after a patch, please be sure to let the author of the mod know so they can fix it.
