Updating Artemis for the new, more concise spellcasting system

New Spellcasting Section said:
+ Spellcasting Theme: Domestic Magic
+ Spellcasting Theme: Spatial Magic

Old Spellcasting Section said:
+ Everyday Magic
+ Minor examples: Change/improve the flavor of food or drink, cook food without a stove or oven, tidy up small messes or stains
+ Major examples: Clean entire rooms in seconds with minimal effort
+ Momentous examples: Produce an entire feast out of thin air. Remodel a house.
- Minor Condition: Focus - Artemis must be holding a tool relevant to his spell. For example: a broom or feather duster works for cleaning, a spoon or salt shaker works for improving food.
- Major Condition: Incantation. Artemis must sing for about a minute to make the spell take effect
- Momentous condition: Time Locked. Artemis can only use this magic during a solstice or equinox (four days out of the year)

+ Spatial Magic
+ Minor example: look in a mirror or listen through a doorway and see/hear what's on the other side of another mirror or doorway Artemis knows about within several miles.
+ Major example: Open a door, and it lets out on the other side of a similar door Artemis knows about within 20 miles
+ Momentous example: As minor / major, but with no distance limitation and without needing to know about a specific door or mirror. He only needs to know a general location to travel to or a subject he wants to look for. A subject does not need to be near a mirror or reflective surface for Artemis to find them.
- Minor Condition: Focus (Mirror or Door). Artemis requires a mirror to see/listen through another specific mirror he knows about. To walk through a known doorway, he needs access to another doorway with a similar size and shape
- Major Condition: Verbal. Artemis must recite a poem for almost a minute.
- Momentous Condition: Time Locked. Artemis can only cast these spells within 5 minutes of midnight.
He's still short, but it's a bit more plausible for him to go buy alcohol now.
Thanks to some magic Artemis got from Wednesday, he's getting a growth spurt this weekend. Now he's a few inches taller and he kinda looks 15
First, I've changed Artemis's name in most places in the app.

Second, I've changed the minor and major conditions of his everyday spellcasting so he no longer has to put on a maid outfit and make everyone else, and himself, uncomfortable.

Old:
- Minor Condition: Incantation. Ganymede must sing or hum a tune while casting
- Major Condition: Focus (Butler/Maid Outfit). Ganymede must be wearing full butler or french maid regalia.

New:
- Minor Condition: Focus - Artemis must be holding a tool relevant to his spell. For example: a broom or feather duster works for cleaning, a spoon or salt shaker works for improving food.
- Major Condition: Incantation. Artemis must sing for about a minute to make the spell take effect

Third, I've made some changes to his momentous spatial magic.
Old:
+ Momentous example: As minor / major, but with no distance limitation and without needing to know about a specific door or mirror. He only needs to know a general location to travel to or a subject he wants to look for.
New:
+ Momentous example: As minor / major, but with no distance limitation and without needing to know about a specific door or mirror. He only needs to know a general location to travel to or a subject he wants to look for. A subject does not need to be near a mirror or reflective surface for Artemis to find them.

Additionally, under nerfs and flavor, I've added:
  • If Artemis tries to use his momentous spatial magic to find someone, this magic may just 'fizzle out.' He can make this risk negligible if someone who knows the person well helps him cast the spell, or if he has objects with a strong connection to that person.
