Suggested fix for re-enabling staring at spellbook sub-35

[fastboy21]

casters are very powerful in classic EQ...two of the big reasons to not play a caster in classic were having to be vulnerable while medding (not yet implemented) and manually memming your spells (this has been implemented, no more saved spell lists).

staring at the spellbook wasn't just an immersion thing. it actually affected game play. you were effectively blind if you wanted to med up faster. this affected your ability to solo in certain places and also required you to trust group mates if you were grouping.

getting jumped by a mob as you med (full damage from sitting) can almost kill a low lvl caster in many zones.

while i agree that removing it was a thing that made EQ better in the long run (why the eventually removed it on live) it was a real part of the game balancing for casters imo in classic.
