Wizardry Refined: Fix prerequisites, TL and VH vs H

[maw3193]

I noticed some prerequisites in the Wizardry Refined Spells Library were impossible, so I went through all the spells in the library and changed them to match.

There's a lot of changes, but they broadly fit into the following categories:

• Change prerequisites from their GURPS Magic version to their Wizardry Refined version.
• Change prerequisites where they seem to be incorrect (the same in GURPS Magic and Wizardry Refined).
• Drop Magery requirements that are removed in Wizardry Refined (for mysterious reasons; those might be a mistake in Wizardry Refined, but I did this for all of them except Steal Dexterity, Steal Might, Steal Vigor and Steal Wisdom, because I could see a way they accidentally overlooked those).
• Fix spell difficulty.
• Untick "Requires TL" from Technological spells and leave a note for how more complicated machines are affected (as per Sufficiently Advanced Technology, Pyramid 3-60 page 6).
• Left a note on Delay, Hang Spell, Link and Reflex that the number you can have "on" is limited by Magery (as per Contingency Plans)
• Removed some Enchantment spells that were in the spell library.

The full list of changes are:

• Alter Visage requires Perfect Illusion and 8 Body Control spells
• Animate Machine follows the "Sufficiently Advanced Technology" rule on magic
• Beacon only assists Plane Shift
• Cloud-Vaulting depends on Cloud-Walking instead of Walk on Air

That is an impressive list of changes. I don't actually have the info for Wizardry Refined, so will accept your changes without carefully going through them. Hopefully others will chime in if something ends up being out of place and we can fix it then.

Thanks!
