I'm not yet at the layout stage of His Majesty the Worm, but I am editing and clarifying the appendices. That means I'm messing with the formatting of the spell lists.
I have basically two options for the spells layout. Which of these do you like better, humble reader?
OPTION A (no bullet points)
BrainfeverComponent: A pouch of powder made from wild marjoram, thyme, verbena, and myrtle leaves
The sorcerer takes a pinch of the component powder and blows it towards the target of this spell. The target creature enters a rage. Attack actions they make gain favor, but they must always play the lowest value card they draw for their Initiative.
Creatures immune to anger (such as non-sentient constructs) are not affected by this spell.
This spell must be maintained with concentration.
Command Undead
Component: Poppet woven of branches and tied with grass picked from a graveyard on the night of the new moon
This spell allows the sorcerer to exert control over an undead creature. The target undead suffers the Control effect. The sorcerer’s order can be a number of words equal to their Wands attribute. Longer commands may be issued by spending multiple Resolve on this spell—each additional Resolve grants [Wands] more words.
This spell lasts until the order is fulfilled. The Resolve spent on casting this spell can never refresh as long as this spell is active.
OPTION B (bullet points)

Does the prose section feel cluttered? Do the bullet points feel too much?
I'm sure that actual design geeks would laugh at the simplicity of this question, so please mock me in the comments. Thoughts? Opinions?
