Accepts user-provided Dungeons & Dragons spell name(s) and returns the full set of spell information and the complete description text. Unlike `dndR::spell_list`, this function requires an exact match between the user-provided spell name(s) and how they appear in the main spell data object. The argument in this function is not sensitive. This function's output differs from `dndR::spell_list` only in that it returns the additional spell description text.
Value
(dataframe) 11 columns of spell information with one row per spell specified by the user. Returns 12 columns if the spell is a damage-dealing cantrip that deals increased damage as player level increases or if spell can be cast with a higher level spell slot (i.e., "upcast") for an increased effect.

#> description
#> 1 You create a ghostly, skeletal hand in the space of a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature to assail it with the chill of the grave. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target. If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.
#> higher_levels
#> 1 This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
