First off, I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help. It has served an invaluable resource.

What I am trying to do, is get the standard "practice" command to ONLY show spells. Not skills, not tongues, not weapons, not styles... JUST spells. I am not an adept coder but I have tried for a while to get this to ONLY display spells and could really use some help.

void do_practice( CHAR_DATA* ch, const char* argument)
{
   CHAR_DATA *mob;
   char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
   int sn;

   if( IS_NPC( ch ) )
      return;

   for( mob = ch->in_room->first_person; mob; mob = mob->next_in_room )
      if( IS_NPC( mob ) && xIS_SET( mob->act, ACT_PRACTICE ) )
         break;

   if( argument[0] == '\0' )
   {
      int col;
      short lasttype, cnt;
      bool is_ok;

      col = cnt = 0;
      lasttype = SKILL_SPELL;
      set_pager_color( AT_MAGIC, ch );

      for( sn = 0; sn < num_skills; ++sn )
      {
         const SKILLTYPE *skill;
         int normalSn;

         // the first num_sorted_skills are sorted by type, so we don't want
         // to index into skill_table -- that is sorted alphabetically -- so
         // we need to do the following dance to check if we are in the
         // sorted section or the unsorted section.
         if( sn < num_sorted_skills )
         {
            skill = skill_table_bytype[sn];

            // we are looping over the skills sorted by type.
            // So, we need to get the normal sn as well.
            normalSn = skill_lookup( skill->name );
         }
         else
         {
            skill = skill_table[sn];
            normalSn = sn;
         }

         if( !skill || !skill->name || skill->name[0] == '\0' )
            continue;

         if( strcmp( skill->name, "reserved" ) == 0 && ( IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) || CAN_CAST( ch ) ) )
         {
            if( col % 3 != 0 )
               send_to_pager( "\r\n", ch );
            set_pager_color( AT_MAGIC, ch );
            send_to_pager_color( " ----------------------------------[&CSpells&B]----------------------------------\r\n",
                                 ch );
            col = 0;
         }

         if( skill->type != lasttype )
         {
            if( !cnt )
               send_to_pager( "                                   (none)\r\n", ch );
            else if( col % 3 != 0 )
               send_to_pager( "\r\n", ch );
            set_pager_color( AT_MAGIC, ch );
            pager_printf_color( ch,
                                " ----------------------------------&C%ss&B----------------------------------\r\n",
                                skill_tname[skill->type] );
            col = cnt = 0;
         }
         lasttype = skill->type;

         if( !IS_IMMORTAL( ch )
             && ( skill->guild != CLASS_NONE && ( !IS_GUILDED( ch ) || ( ch->pcdata->clan->Class != skill->guild ) ) ) )
            continue;

         if( mob )
         {
            if( skill->skill_level[mob->Class] > mob->level && skill->race_level[mob->race] > mob->level )
               continue;
         }
         else
         {
            is_ok = FALSE;

            if( ch->level >= skill->skill_level[ch->Class] )
               is_ok = TRUE;
            if( ch->level >= skill->race_level[ch->race] )
               is_ok = TRUE;

            if( !is_ok )
               continue;
         }

         if( ch->pcdata->learned[sn] <= 0 && SPELL_FLAG( skill, SF_SECRETSKILL ) )
            continue;

         ++cnt;
         set_pager_color( AT_MAGIC, ch );
         pager_printf( ch, "%20.20s", skill->name );
         if( ch->pcdata->learned[normalSn] > 0 )
            set_pager_color( AT_SCORE, ch );
         pager_printf( ch, " %3d%% ", ch->pcdata->learned[normalSn] );
         if( ++col % 3 == 0 )
            send_to_pager( "\r\n", ch );
      }

      if( col % 3 != 0 )
         send_to_pager( "\r\n", ch );
      set_pager_color( AT_MAGIC, ch );
      pager_printf( ch, "You have %d practice sessions left.\r\n", ch->practice );
   }

try changing

         if( !skill || !skill->name || skill->name[0] == '\0' )
            continue;

         if( strcmp( skill->name, "reserved" ) == 0 && ( IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) || CAN_CAST( ch ) ) )

to this

         if( !skill || !skill->name || skill->name[0] == '\0' )
            continue;

         if( skill->type != SKILL_SPELL )
            continue;

         if( strcmp( skill->name, "reserved" ) == 0 && ( IS_IMMORTAL( ch ) || CAN_CAST( ch ) ) )

Mainly you just want to skip any thing that isn't a spell and that should do what youre wanting.

PERFECT!
