Monster spell vs. item effect

I'm pondering, should the aggravation effect and aggravate monster spell be covered separately and split up accordingly, or remain on one page and sectioned off? This page needs a good passover either way, but I'm trying to figure out what would be the most reasonable approach for that. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 08:30, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

It sounds like the effect of the spell is the same as from any other source of the effect, so I don't think it needs its own page -- or even its own section, really. --Darth l33t (talk) 14:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
I agree that we don't need to split this page. The effects described on this page (waking monsters, etc.) are done in the aggravate() function regardless of the source of the aggravation. The messages are done outside of aggravate() itself though, and differ depending on the source, but that wouldn't justify a separate page. Cathartes (talk) 04:42, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Hmmm, after a bit of thought I'm currently inclined towards the same. For now I'll proceed with the copyediting and wait for any other opinions if they're coming. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 11:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
