Do these buff the stat same amount? or are all the buff amounts different to each stat.

You could probably do 1 script where depending on the spell level and name it buffs the stats.

Not that we're anywhere NEAR T9 spell support - but when the time comes, should we need additional scripts, we'll use them (at the rate we're going, everyone currently on the team will have died from old age by T9 time). But I too believe we can use a SINGLE script, and if we must, we pass an additional spell_data parameter denoting uniqueness (param SpellLineTier = 9) and branch off with a simple IF to take care of any special behavior.

It is not going to be a problem.
