Well im not too active on these forums, but if it's about rep.. I would gladly rep both of you. Just trying to get this thing working, if you could explain how to do edit the dbc files without converting them to csv, I'd be grateful!

Find your spell on wowhead and find the spellID. Open the Spell.dbc with DBC Editor (included in Demonkungas Tool's) and locate the number, for example 17. In field 16 you will find the spellvisualID then..Keep this number in mind and open the spellvisual.dbc with DBC Editor. Locate the SpellVisual (784 in this example), mark it and keep it in mind.
Then find the spell you want to have, locate it in the spell.dbc, look up the spellvisual, mark it and copy the whole line. Open the SpellVisual.dbc again and go to line 784 (in my example) and change the values of every field to the values you copied from the line.
Then you just save the SpellVisual.dbc and open it up with MPQEditor, click new, choose a name, enter, enter, WoW 4.0. -> new folder (enGB) -> new folder IN enGB (DBFilesClient) -> add files (SpellVisual.dbc) close the program, you will find the yourname.mpq..rename it to wow-update-xxxxx and yeah, thats it.
I guess I will write a guide for this
