: Use "spell" or SpellBookFrame.booktype as the spellbookType for any non-pet spell. The id is counted from 1 through all spell types (tabs on the right side of SpellBookFrame). Pet spells also start from 1. (See example above). The CastSpell function can only be used in OnClick functions or in bindings.xml. [Obsolete: Another way is to use it in a Slash command and then the user makes a macro out of it and clicks on it. (seems WoW only allows this when a mouseclick / key input has initiated it)]
