Code that does not work is just text.

No the spell just fizzled. In my experience it happens far less often if you start with an Abra kabara and end it with an Alakazam!

Yeah, the Abra kabara init and Alakazam cleanup are an important part, specially until you have become good enough to configure your own init.


There is an alternative init, Abra Kadabra, which automatically adds a cleanup and some general fixes when it detects the end of the spell.
