Some issues with how Alexa wants to accept input here. We can't use "what's" - it has to be "whats", and we can't use a possessive after a slot. So, if I wanted to ask "What's fireball's range?", I can't code SpellsIntent whats {Spell}'s {Attribute}. I have to save a second spell called "fireball's" in spells.js I'm looking around for a more elegant solution than doubling the file size with plural and possessive cases.

The first few links under NPM are libraries that create utterances. https://github.com/miguelmota/awesome-amazon-echo
