No, don't check that out. If you are going to refer people to demoes or libraries, refer them to published ones or from people who know the subject well enough. That specific skill demo has many abuses and non-failsafe programming. In the eyes of a newbie, it would be hard to understand from it, too.

For the original question, you need to be more specific on "spells". What type of spells? Projectiles? Healing spells? If you have a basic understanding of DM, it will be easier to help.

<font color=red>I could give you a code though you should make it yourself. Though ill help you out a bit. Do something like this:</font>

mob
   var/health = 10//setting health
   density = 1
   verb
       Spell(var/mob/M as mob in oview(3))/choose a mob close to you to attack
            var/F = new /obj/Spell(usr.loc)//create a spell
            walk_to(F,M.loc)//get it to go to the mob you choose

obj
   Spell//this is your spell
        density = 1
        Bump(mob/M)//when it bumps into something
            if(ismob(M))//and if its a mob
                 M.health -= 5//take away health
                 del(src)//and delete the spell

<font color=red>Thats very basic though you should learn from it.You may have to add more bump commands for when it bumps into walls and stuff.</font>
