Made another small update - sets you own are now stored and persist across sessions (as opposed to loading sets I own as "reasonable" defaults)
Meanwhile, work on multi language support is in progress.
Cheers

Didn't have much time so I only did what I could do easily.
Uploaded a new version, changes:
- added more slots (@Donovan: not adding more slots this month )
- moved spellbook up, just below mage/slot selection (@Moonglow: should work for you now)
@Donovan: searching for Corrode works as expected and finds Goblin Alchemist, can you please recheck this?
Next step is to get the code cleaned up and publish the code on GitHub.
Cheers

Been quiet for a few days. Had to concentrate on building a Priestess spellbook and wiping my friends Druid, and then (successfully) executing my plan. It consumed all my Mage Wars time
Uploaded a new version, changes:
- added more slots
- added highlight
- added clear filter
- added erase spellbook (with confirmation)
- fixed spell data (found some errors while making a spellbook)
I'm pretty sure we'll be translating to German at some point (sooner than later), project will most likely be open sourced on github before so anyone will be able to contribute.
To answer your suggestions:
1. At the moment it is no convenient due to the suboptimal way card data is organised. I need to rework this as I was lazy to do it when adding more data from different sources.
2. It is possible, but I like having them around
3. Did it
4. All sorting is done alphabetically, I like it like that
5. Answer to #1 applies here too
6. Did it
7. Did it (i plan to rework this and make it more flexible, use names instead of slots and enable adding as many as one wants)
8. To properly implement this some kind of server logic is needed and I don't have it at the moment. If it goes live with German community it will be a must have.
9. Did it
10. Answer to #8 applies here
Cheers

I hope this builder gets localized for Germany, where people still do not have a spellbook builder. If you need help, just ask.

I've changed card type order according to your suggestion (it makes sense) and fixed a small bug in search.
I'm talking to German Mage Wars Community about open sourcing the project and adding multilingual support. German version seems inevitable.
I gave some though to your request for improving the search. The proper way of doing it would be parsing the input and implementing AND/OR logic in the search algorithm. It is not a top priority now, but we'll get there eventually.
Seems this pet project is gaining traction and community support so Academy support might be coming too.

I've updated the builder with ability to search all card text so searches like "flying", "stun", "ranged" and similar now work.
It's amazing what a bit of positive feedback does to one's motivation

I'm glad you like it. I forgot to upload mage cards, if you check it now you should see mage ability card when mouse is not hovering over a card in the list.
I've done some work on adding more card data into the database used and it seems I have all the data needed to implement a search that would make it possible to find all flying creatures etc. At the moment you can search for cards specific to a mage or school in the subtype filter (try typing "Dark" or "Druid" into the field). I'll keep you posted.
I'm looking forward to PvS and want to add cards as soon as possible, but I don't have the card list, quantities, images... If I could get my hands on the set I would do it manually (hint to AW: get me the set )
I'm not playing Academy so there are two challenges: card database and specific spellbook building rules I'm not aware. If you can point me in the right direction I'll look into it.

I am really looking forward to this builder. Just from the picture, can i set what kind of Sets i have and then let dissapear the window? Its a dead space after first input. And also, mad man like me have everything twice now
I like that you immediatly see number of points it will cost you to add 1 spell and total amount.
Hvala Vam!
Sorry for taking time to respond...
Thanks for the overall positive feedback. I'm still unclear if it is ok to release this to the general public as no official AW staff commented on this. I'd guess you have some inside connections being a playtester, is it possible for you to ask someone about this?
I'm having a hard time deciding which columns should be displayed. I want to keep the builder functional on a small screen so I can't have it all. What would be your choices? Is reveal cost relevant or could it be replaced with something more useful? Some feedback from other players will be helpful here.
I will look into OCTGN, both for using their database and exporting to their format. Exporting should not be an issue, but it will be a bit challenging to test as it seems OCTGN is not available on mac.

EDIT:
Spellbook builder is available at http://www.spellbookbuilder.com
It includes all released Arena and Academy cards.
It doesn't support Internet Explorer (don't know about Edge, wouldn't be my money on it).
ORIGINAL POST:
Hi gals and guys,
Writing from Croatia, been playing MW for about 2 years. I've been reading forums for a while but never felt like I could contribute so this is my first post.
Spellbook builder was incredibly useful when I first started building spellbooks, but over time and extensive usage I became aware of things that could be improved.
I'm currently on vacation and a few days ago I started looking into spell builder card database code before my daughter and wife woke up. Things escalated quickly from there and I spent entire day coding and by the time I went to bed I had a fully functional spellbook builder/card database.
The main reasons for taking this effort were:
- official spellbook builder is somewhat difficult to use on a small screen
- I often need to skim through all the cards so I can decide what to include (I only play ~50 games per year)
- I wanted to search cards by restriction (dark mage only, druid only etc.)
- I recently purchased Battleground Dominations and it is not supported on official spellbook
- importing spellbooks doesn't work (I'm a mac user)
- accidentally reloading the page is devastating
I needed up with a slightly different design and implemented all the functionality official spellbook builder has plus:
- spellbooks are stored using browser storage - they persists across sessions
- support for Battleground Dominations
- card restrictions are searchable (through subtype)
At the moment I'm very happy with what I've got, but I plan to add the following
- mage cards - the main problem here is that I need to take photos of them and the sets are at my friends (we co-own then).
- "remember" number of sets owned - defaults are currently hardcoded for sets we own, but it may not be practical for other people
Anyway, here goes:
During the process I used information from card database and spellbook builder and I downloaded images for all cards. I believe these things are property of AW so I'd like to get approval to share my spellbook builder/card database with the rest of the world.
If I can get approval I would be delighted to hear the community feedback, implement new features and fix bugs (there are always bugs).
Another thing I'd like to do is add more data about the cards so they can be searched based on attack attributes (Piercing, Unavoidable ...), effects (Burn, Cripple ..) and other relevant info (Defense, Armor, dice number ...). It wouldn't be difficult to add this feature but data is not available and I don't have the time to enter it manually. If I get AW approval and there is interest it can be a community driven effort.
Cheers
