>DERIUM: How are the spell trees set up? It seems like a static image with hotspots, but how are they built?
You can click edit on any page to take a look at how it's set up. Just don't save anything on it if you're not editing it on purpose. Below for example is the entire content of how the Empath spells page is set up (https://elanthipedia.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Category:Empath_spells )
Under the "==Spell Tree==" heading there is a picture which is done in an external program (ABSOLON is mainly the one maintaining these right now) and then wiki code is used to make an imagemap. Using the wiki code, rectangles are drawn over the image for the relevant links, based on the pixel dimensions of the image. How do you find the pixel dimensions? Again that would be done in a photo editing program and not on the wiki itself.
The "==Summary of Spell Information==" is a table that uses searches based on the spell template to automatically go out and find the relevant spell information and populate the table. (Note that sometimes when a spell page is saved, it may take 15-45 minutes for tables to get updated sometimes.)
