I think, it was only Islandking when becoming administrator – perhaps with some help of Faalagorn, admin at the same time, but not that active – who started to switch spells and items to use transparent icons and item description images, replacing the screenshots formerly used … but still present on most of the articles (haven't counted – that's a guess).

Using extracted game files, usually PNGs with transparency, is very common on many wikis. As it's done here – mostly with background from a screenshot, and in addition: varying backgrounds –, I wouldn't consider good style or a good look. So I continued that effort, but wasn't – as Islandking – able to upload all the needed files, yet. But yes, that's still the idea.

I started reworking some items a while back, to "test" a concept. See the infobox and especially the gallery section on e.g. the Fire Agate Gem (and the other ornamental and semi-precious stones).

My (vague) plans for the future of the spell infobox would replace the top image (a generic scroll on most wizard spells) with the spell icon, though – as done for some of the gems – with added space around, so they match the minimum size needed to be presented in category galleries: 130px by 115px; haven't tested this, yet, and how this would look – a tiny icon in a big space … Then adding the scroll- and in addition the ability-icon at the bottom section of the box, similar to how it's done on the Icewind Dale wiki.

But that's nothing you need to care for now: I don't expect from you all this file work and multiple uploads – updating spells, adding missing info and creating the overviews alone is a bunch of work. Think about focussing on that before feeling overwhelmed by the effort. ;)

You may, however – if you insist. :) Give me only a short time to add what's necessary to the infobox …
