I don't believe that the fact that NoSpellDec respects the casting pause needs to be mentionned - the current description doesn't say it doesn't respect the pause (nor does it even imply it).

Well, you can say the same thing about "ForceSpell" as well. The current description of "ForceSpell" doesn't say whether it does or does not respect the delay between spells and doesn't say whether it allows or doesn't allow to cast spells on invisible targets and doesn't saywhether it allows or doesn't allow to cast spells on targets beyond the spell range. Is it enough for a document to stay silent about such important features? The fact that it doesn't explicitly say anything false doesn't enatil that it contains all needed information. If the document offers more or less similar descriptions for vastly different actions/commands, how do you expect a reader to understand the differences? Do you really believe that the fact that the document doesn't say false things about something is enough reason for refraining from adding more true and useful information to it.

Moreover, The differences between these actions is not limited to the delay issue. I have sent a list of the most important aspects of their differences here. Without such information, a modder would not know which action to use for a given purpose. They all have very different functionalities, while reading their descriptions in IESDP will leave modders with insufficient information.

I wouldn't have sent this post if you had simply said that you forgot to add them.
