Help on writing the macros
"Switch"
Is a macro which will use the alter art and send you to the starter set for that art and is alway on Alt+1. For example, if I'm in light arts in the Starter set or a Spell Set and I use in the lines of code are:
/ja "Dark arts" <me>
/macro set 2
/recast "Dark arts" <me>
/recast "Light arts" <me>
"Spell Sets macros"
These macros send you to a macro set containing a set of spells. I also use the remaining lines for equips:
/macro set #
/equip ...
/equip ...
"Back"
Is another macro switch button but sends you back to the starter set you are in and is used in spell sets on Ctrl+1
