Effect IndicesEdit

The exact mapping of index to game setting (and hence name) is hard-coded into the executable. Summon Fabricant is defined in Tribunal and duplicated in Bloodmoon. The entries after that are technically defined in both Tribunal and Bloodmoon, but only Bloodmoon provides names for the three defined summon spells (Tribunal just repeats the game setting name as the English name).
