Override Spell Targeting

When the player selects a spell to be cast and selects a target (either a map location or a combatant), we call this hook named “OverrideSpellTargeting” and it can return a title and a list of options that the player can choose from. Whatever the player chooses will be provided the the hook named “ProcessSpellTargetOverride”.
