Create custom words of power effect word

Does anyone know how to create a custom effect word? I have created the basic spell, but do not know how to tag it as a word spell and as an effect spell.

I have purchased Ultimate Magic and have a hero with word casting.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you just need to add a sWordCat tag to the spell. Lemme check.
 
Aaand I'm wrong. Looks like this is one of those things you can't make in the editor sorry.

You could create them using Raw XML, if you're comfortable working outside the editor. I can even get you stared with an example.

Code:
  <thing id="weFluff"
    name="Fluff"
    compset="EffectWord"
    description="This effect word causes one unattended object to become light and airy, like a marshmallow or down pillow">
    <fieldval field="sDuration" value="Permanent"/>
    <fieldval field="sSave" value="Will negates (harmless)"/>
    <fieldval field="sResist" value="Yes (harmless)"/>
    <usesource source="UMWords"/>
    <tag group="sTargRest" tag="wtSelected"/>
    <tag group="sSchool" tag="Abjur"/>
    <tag group="sWordCat" tag="wcBinding"/>
    <tag group="sDuration" tag="Permanent"/>
    <tag group="sSave" tag="WillNeg"/>
    <tag group="sResist" tag="Yes"/>
    <tag group="sLevel" tag="1"/>
    <tag group="sClass" tag="cHelpSor"/>
    <tag group="sClass" tag="cHelpWiz"/>
    </thing>

Any plans to make it available in the editor as I know there have been a couple of companies that have looked at the Words subsystem, including Jon Brazer and I think Interjection Games. Additionally, the Open Design/Kobold Press Deep Magic Kickstarter is supposed to have pages devoted to the subject.
 
We're still up against the wall on the max number of tabs in the editor. Until that problem gets resolved, we won't be able to add anything else to the pathfinder editor.
 
Thanks Aaron. I'm fine working with xml files. Next question, once I have my xml file, what do I do with it?
