[Ohrrpgce] SVN: pkmnfrk/2301 Fixed the spell menu thingy too.

Not to bust in on your debate, but I think the idea is
that pumping max stats with spells might be useful for
some avant-garde games. Consider:
 1) A game with fixed max MP (of, say, 100) and no way
to restore it inside dungeons. The first room of a
dungeon resets your stats, and the max-stat boosting
spells cost 20MP each.
 2) A game with no Inns and very few MP-restoring
items. In this case, MP can be re-named to "SP", and
can be used as another form of experience to "level
up" individual stats.

Anyway, I guess the idea of targeting max stats is
consistent, although naive usage of it could seriously
unbalance gameplay.
