[edit] What is a "spell"?

Maggie has mentioned (albeit internally) that "spell" isn't really a fixed mechanic, but rather a convention used by casters to describe their disciplines in terms of a set of discrete capabilities. When Sizemore "spends a little juice" to fix the paving stones in the Magic Kingdom, one gets the impression from the wording that he doesn't really think of this as a spell. Possibly some casters only use "premade" magic effects with a command word, but other casters might think in a more diffuse way (such as Maggie). Warlords probably think in terms of "spells" though — at least, Maggie seems to think so. What Parson thinks is another matter.
