Display the spell graphic in the Shrines and Pyramid windows when the hero who visits them already has the spell

[LeHerosInconnu]

I think it would be interesting to display the spell graphic in the Shrines and Pyramid windows between the first part of the text and the end of the text, when the hero who visits them already has the spell.

In the example, between:

"...spell - 'Teleport'."

And:

"Unfortunately, you already..."

And also, allow the player to right click on the spell graphic to display the spell information window.

In fheroes2:

In original game:
In fheroes2, currently these windows are not displayed correctly: #4615.

Hi, @LeHerosInconnu !
UI of the original "Heroes" game often works like this: the reward a hero had received appears on a screen: spell icon in the case above, gold from water wheel or an artifact being gathered from a ground. Game doesn't show gold pile, if water wheel is empty. This icons being drawn in a window on success action make these windows more distinguishable, from a case, when an action brought you nothing.

What do you think if we just highlight spell name within the text with different color? So player won't need to read whole text to find out, what was the spell, but at the same time he clearly understands, that he wasn't succeeded in learning it, as there's no spell icon in the window.

I think marking the Skill or whatever of the dialog text with a yellow color is a great idea for readability. While adding the icon in both the window where you get it and where you don't, to me is a very big change and might not be well received among veteran players. What if you could gray out the color of the icon if you don't get it?

Nice idea!
But I'm afraid in this particular case this could be not so obvious on some icons. For example "Slow" spell is mostly black with thin yellow edges... Also some icons are already gray ("Stone skin")

Well, if we talk about suggestions, I can offer something too, from my side. But, actually, I'm OK with original implementation with yellow spell name.
What if we show spell icon, hero has learned, placed in a scroll, like that, we have in a mage guild?
In a case hero cannot learn spell - we show rolled up (closed) scroll, the same to scrolls of mage levels not being built in a mage guild? :)

That sounds like an even better idea and something that could have natively been in the game.

The goal is to have knowledge of the spell without having to read, and this whether the spell is already learned or not.
Now, if the spell scroll is closed, you don't see anything, and you have to read the text, and look for the name of the spell.
