The problem isn't accepting the input, it's interpreting it.

[Garrosh]

Using naïve string comparison between a word an another from an arbitrairly defined list is just useless. Especially if it is to cast a spell or some such. You're not even suggesting a parser, a simple string comparison. So to cast a certain spell, "asieflog perlturimog astumisam" would work while "asieflog pertlurimog astumisam" would not, "asief1og perlturimog astumisam" would not, "Asieflog Perlturimog Astumisam" would not, "asieflog perlturimog astunisam" would not, even "asieflog perlturimog astumisam." would not either. Great feature...

P.S. Not all errors are obvious, some could be worked around. But working around some of them implies going down the path of a sensible parser, which is NOT what you're suggesting.

In my CONCEPT, spells should not trigger when they pronounced incorrectly (it must be a    
"variant 2").

The biggest problem isn't spells, it's words.

A. It would be Hell^13 to program.
B. It would be less convenient than selecting a general thing to say from a menu.
C. The select-from-a-menu thing could automatically account for etiquette, education level, etc.

While I appreciate your noble initiative to get people to spellcheck, being killed because you mistyped a single letter is not fun. Nor is having to play DF with a notebook to remember  a minimal amounts of spells.
