New Workflow for "Spend Spell" and "Show Spell" #382

New Feature or Changed Behaviour

We would like to improve the current interface after a spell or attack is begun. Currently there is a default behavior that we have reason to believe is not optimal for players and GMs to click through

Old Behavior Show Spell

Suggested New Behavior

Spend Spell: Autoroll dice (no button), play Automated Animation, show a single card with dice result and spell description
Show Spell: No dice, no animation, show a single card with spell description

We're inviting more suggestions, including mockups

Why?

This was sparked by the request in #381, which once implemented we noticed shows for both buttons when clicked because both buttons do nearly the same thing. I'd like to take a design-first approach by first asking the community what they think the optimal workflow is before code considerations, because we might not get a well-designed workflow with a code-first, think-later process.
