Some additional messing around/testing has narrowed the code that was in the 3.5 version down to the parentheses it seems.
I took this bit and as part of just trying to understand the code, stripped the parentheses and removed the second choices from each, which worked.
So this original entry for usrCandid1
Code:
component.BaseSpell & sSchool.Necromancy & (sLevel.1 | sLevel.2) & (sClass.cHelpClr | sClass.cHelpWiz)
.
doesn't work, but this:
Code:
component.BaseSpell & sSchool.Necromancy & sLevel.2 & sClass.cHelpClr
does, albeit in that format it limits it to level 2 spells instead of just spells up to my level.
Is there a different format for the multiple options? I tried it without the parentheses but still having the pipes and it goes back to an unfiltered list of all things. Further, will a "!sClass.xxxx" in said multiple choice work to ensure it doesn't list spells already on my spell list?
Also - sSchool.Necromancy seems to be the answer to question #1.
