Magic Circle spell missing data

[Ic80]

The spell data entry for the spell "Magic Circle" seems to miss the first few lines of the description that describe the area of effect, and it misses the property for the area of effect property as well. Not sure about the dc property because I haven't found the rules to valorize it properly, but one of the use cases of the spell provides a dc save, should it be listed in a dc property? Here is the entry with the missing desc line and area of effect properties, please provide a dc property if needed. Hope it helps.

The missing description is definitely an error, and an area_of_effect property is definitely useful.

I'm not sure why there'd be a DC property, though? Spell save DCs are defined by character classes, not spells. Do you mean perhaps that there should be a reference to the ability score to be used for saving throws against the spell effect?

[Ic80]

Yeah well I've seen that there's a property dc in many spells but I haven't found a documentation about it, so I'm not sure about what information it should deliver, I leave it to someone that knows exactly how it works, just reporting the possible issue.

[fergcb]

Ah, my mistake, I had forgotten that the ability used for saving throws was under the dc property of spells. That's a poorly named field, imo.

So yes - a dc property should be added to this spell. Thanks for letting us know!

Opened a PR to fix this if anyone wants to take a gander.
