It is correct
pre luclin. When Luclin was released there were far more icons available to use but up until that point there was only around 23 icons to use and in SoV they added more colored backgrounds to the spellgems to denote PBAE, targeted AE, etc rather than just red and yellow that you see in classic. All you are using is a preset type of icon for a specific timeframe in game. When I approached the devs about the icons they had at that time so I could fix the gems game and other things, I suggested fixing the gems to cover SoV now so that it would be easier to implement all 'classic' spells through SoV later.
The result was a custom gem layout using a custom spells_us.txt file to link the spells to the right icon. Having to work around the Titanium system was a bit of a headache but I feel I came up with the best solution overall. I added a few different icon sets (WoW, classic, luclin, etc) but they all essentially are limited to 23 reoccurring icons but with 7 different background colors. The Buff and spellbook icons were the same all through classic and SoV and only changed in Luclin.
If,
IF this server ever went past SoV and had Luclin,PoP or any other expansion added then we could go back to using the standard spell layout used on live today (and which was included in the Titanium boxset). Classic (classic - Kunark) used 1 tga file for spells, SoV added more and Luclin added more on top of that. The number of icons remained the same until GoD was released in 2004 and has remained the same on live ever since.
