I cant seem to make new spells.

I have defined the spell and the object and the particle systems.

When I cast the spell in the editor. I get the message of casting a new spell and the sound for it.

But I get unknown built in spell error.

Are all spells hard coded and new can not be made?

To create your own custom spells, and have them function like they should (taking damage amplifications into account, and spawning properly (i.ie not inside walls)) it will require you to create an entire system of checkers, and have the spell call for these functions.
You could create your own, or have a look around some open-sourced mods like AndakRainors spell pack.

Hey, you can't expect everything to be given to you on a silver platter. The editor is pretty damn good as it is now, and allows creating a lot of good stuff, but you'll have to work for it.

Whats wrong with making recipes? Isaac answered your question on how to do that.
If you're referring to extra ingredients, then yes its a problem.
Unless you use a custom alchemy system.
AndakRainor made a pretty nice one. It can be found here under the miscellaneous category.

In this case you're doing something wrong. Drop me the definition and I'll see whats wrong.

It's like you ignored what I said, or just too lazy to work on your mod. The system is not hard once you get the hang of it, really.
