[EQ] / [Lucy] Spell Data Chance to create Lifeshard()Follow

Was just wondering if there's a plan to link Chance to create Lifeshard(##) to the linked spell effects, and/or rewrite the descriptions as ##% chance to trigger spell-xxxx, since most, if not all of those types of spells have a base2_# that points to another spell effect number?

Many people are confused about how it works, and don't know how to read the raw data to find out what it really means.

**** EDIT ****
An example, 15047 spell id = Sheltering Thunder Chance (which is the autocast for 15065 spell id, Deafening Blades Strike, which is the proc of the buff 15062, Deafening Blades. Anyway, for 15047, it shows:
1: Chance to create Lifeshard(30)
and if you look at the raw data, the attrib1 = 340 as is expected, and the base2_1 = 15075, which points you to the 30% chance for spell id 15075, Sheltering Thunder which gives such a nice effect of:
2: Increase Chance to Parry by 9999%

Anyway, the original questions ponders if there is a plan to rewrite the description of:
1: Chance to create Lifeshard(30)
to something more akin to:
1: 30% Chance to trigger Sheltering Thunder

Maybe this modified csv spreadsheet of spelldata_Test_2009-07-22_16:28:57.zip with better descriptions for Attrib#=340 may help.

EDIT: Finally got one to work and on a working website :D

Your zip files seems to be corrupt.

Sorry, I didn't double-check to re-download the zip. Apparently Geocities corrupts files with too many characters in the name. Once I got it uploaded with a shorter name, though, Geocities went down (maybe for good, I don't remember what date they are going to shut it down for good is). Anyway, got it up on a working site now.
