GetSpellInfo doesnt always translate a spell if its not known by the player character. Investigate the use of link, id = https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetSpellLink over https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GetSpellInfo
investigate FindBaseSpellByID (https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_FindSpellOverrideByID) and FindSpellOverrideByID (https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_FindSpellOverrideByID) as a potential replacement of the statics.BAseSpelltable
Create a means of forcing a specific version of a spell irrespective of if its a base or override as potential solution for #669

GetSpellLink has the same issues as GetSpellInfo in that the player needs to know the spell to convert from Name to ID.
