DM Entry: Magus Grimoire 3.5 (complete spell book project, progress notes)

I began working on a document back in 2008 or 2009 that would, in effect, be the Spells counterpart to my Feat Compendium 3.5.
I did a lot of work on this tome back then and had to shelve the project for some time (a few years in fact) due to life's rollercoaster.
However, I want to announce officially that I am trying to do work on this project again, a little here and a little there.

Progress So Far
I originally began by adding all of the spells from the Player's Handbook. And then began with all of the other books, going in alphabetical order. Right now the next book to add is Exemplars of Evil. So far the page count for this Magus Grimoire is 663, with about 214 pages of spell lists by Class and Prestige Class and about 10 pages of small print index at the end.

Most the books that remain will have a few spells here and there. The big ones will be the Spell Compendium and the Player's Handbook 2, as well as other books of spells like Magic of Faerun and Magic of Rokugan and a handful of others with a big selection of spells.

Spells have been added from these books so far:

Before you get too excited though, be aware that about 300 books and web articles remain to be added to the Magus Grimoire, as well as all of the 96 Dragon magazines and 76 Dungeon magazines, 24 Oerth Journals, 11 Knowledge Arcana magazines and 87 other officially published adventure modules--only counting the ones of each of those categories that exist in the 3.0 and 3.5 edition.

As you can see, I am trying to be as thorough as I possibly can. If you think of some source document that you think should be included, don't hesitate to mention it to me.

When the text can be copied, it is copied and pasted, which makes it much much faster. When text can't be copied, I have to hand type each entry (which is very slow).

Guidelines
As with my Feat Compendium, I am including official 3.5 updates and errata (where available) directly in the text. Official Sage Advice (from Dragon Magazines) and FAQ's will also be noted with the spell (where applicable). Besides officially published books, I will also be including Dragon Magazine, Dungeon Magazine, and web articles on Wizards.com. All 3.0 sources are either officially updated to 3.5 or unofficially updated to 3.5 (with preferences for those few semi-official unofficial updates like the Leaflets of Triel, which is the unofficial 3.5 update by Monte Cook for the Book of Vile Darkness by its own author). I will also be including power components with the appropriate spells (from Unearthed Arcana).

Comparison to the Feat Compendium
The Feat Compendium weighs in at 727 pages, with 177 pages of feat tables at the front and 20 pages of small print index at the end. So by the looks of it, the Magus Grimoire will surpass this previous document, perhaps getting near to doubling it.

Document Name
I have gone through several names for this mammoth volume, such as Tome of Spells, Codex of Spells, and Spell Compendium, before finally settling on Magus Grimoire.

I still don't really have very much time to do projects like this, but I want to endeavor to add about 1 new book a month in my spare time, a little here and a little there.

I have published the document as it exists right now, in pdf format with bookmarks. So you guys can get that from me at our next game session if you like. Just remember its not even close to 50% complete yet. But for those of you who do get that pdf from me, I will keep you posted with the latest updates as they are pupated from my document hive nest.
