Im checking in Recruit and Banish. I really like the creativity of Defile, but I cant imagine a veil priest doing any of that.

Yeah, I don't know why it doesn't seem right to me so I dont really have any decent feedback to offer. Its on the fence, okay but not great so Im not including it.

Okay, Im not accepting any more quotes. You people are quote crazy 
.
Think of little paragraph stories that have to do with the spells. Maybe a description of what it takes to cast (like chalids summoning example) or its effect (like nikis-knights summon balor).
What we are really looking for is for the pedia entry to say something abotu the world, so be creative. Dont worry about the fact that you dont know the specifics of the world, make them up.

Exhaled isnt the right word for the first one, as you mentioned, and I don't know how to fix it up. The second (train maceman) isnt flavorful enough.
I like the concept of the first and I think it could be fixed if the exhaled part is improved.

Here's my (serious) contribution:
TXT_KEY_SPELL_PILLAR_OF_FIRE
When the messenger brought word that the Lanun had refused our demand to surrender and turn over their Eaters of Dreams, the High Inquisitor had sighed sadly, then ordered our army back from the walls. The commanders protested this apparent retreat, but the High Inquistor replied, "Wait, and see." He climbed a hill which overlooked the pirate raiders' seaport, and began to pray.
It started slowly, thin streamers of smoke rising from the rooftops, but quickly hungry tongues of flame were licking the sky, rising higher and higher in the sky. Within a minute, the entire town was on fire, and still the flames rose up, spinning with increasing speed about a central axis. The great pillar of fire stretched to the zenith, spinning like some hellish cyclone of flame--even a quarter-mile from the walls, we could feel the wind created as it sucked up the surrounding air into itself.
The most horrible part, however, came after the pillar collapsed and dissolved, no more than a quarter of an hour after the High Inquisitor started praying. That's when it started to snow--except it wasn't snow, not at midsummer. It was ashes, the ashes of the town and its inhabitants, drawn up by the pillar of fire, and scattered for a half-mile round about what once had been a thriving seaport, and was now a great crematorium.
That was when I started to have doubts about serving the Order.

Well, I wrote those messages (and am writing this one) at work (everyone else is at the company picnic), so I couldn't look up anything about FfH. Still, if Kael wants to use what I wrote, he has my permission to change "Eater of Dreams" into something more appropriate.

Just change Eaters of Dreams to pirates or cultists or change Lanun to Sheaim.

"It was dusk when the stonewarden arrived. Few had ever actually seen one in this small village, but I knew his cause full well. The dwarves all made way for him, a few offering cautious greetings. He acknowledged none of them. He stopped in a clearing at the other edge of town and surveyed his surroundings. He then sat down and began to chant. Soon the earth began to shake, and a cloud of dust surrounded the stonewarden. All of the small dwarf children clung tightly to their mothers as the loud scrapping of earth and rock echoed through the village. In just minutes it was over, and jagged edges of stone began to peak through as the dust settled. Centered just where the stonewarden had sat now stood a Temple of Kilmorph. When the next disciple of the earth mother arrived in this village, they would find a more than receptive group of followers."

"I can hardly see you when you are still. Are you a shade?"
"I bring no darkness to the light."
"You sound faint and distant. Are you a ghost?"
"I had not life before this form."

"Wheels, gears, axles, grease, lumber, canvas, spare cannon, rope, bindings. . . are these copper? Who uses copper bindings anymore? We can't use copper binding on the war ships. They might work for the merchants but they just won't do for us. Take them back to the smith and get some iron ones. . . and hurry up, the first ships will leaving soon and you know how obnoxious the dock master gets when they're rushed."

"I knew what I had to do. The major was hardly the type of man that soldiers would follow on instinct. His father was an affluent merchant who, knowing his second son would be a much better heir to the business, had bought his first son a commission as a lieutenant. By some small oversight, his transfers always seemed to turn into promotions and he now stood on the eve of battle with an entire company at his command. I could tell the major new nothing of the powers of the Overlord's army that lay before him. As he turned to address his men I began my incantation. If, by some miracle, we are victorious, the survivors will have grand stories of brave fallen soldiers. In any case, there will be none who succumb to the enemies tricks this day."
