;''Note:''
: You might encounter difficulties when using this on a localized version of WoW.
: Get the exact name and suffix of the Spell by using the [[API_GetSpellName|GetSpellName]]-function. If the spell's name includes special characters (like ä, á, â,...) you will have to use utf8-escape codes (which you can find [http://www.allegro-c.de/unicode/zcodes.htm here]).
: This is because Lua currently does not support unicode!
: For example, if you're using the german version of the WoW-client, instead of
  CastSpellByName("Dämonenrüstung(Rang 1)");
: you will have to write
  CastSpellByName("D\195\164monenr\195\188stung(Rang 1)");
: This problem does only appear when working with Lua. When you're just using macro it should work with the ä's and ü's.
