New Symbol Suggestions! Level Up Box and P/T Box!

As I was adding the DDP set (which is incorrectly marked as DZE with the release date August 21st when it should be August 28th, hopefully someone can get on that) I realized that we lacked symbols to correctly display the rules text. It's hard to properly display the level up mechanic on cards like Kabira Vindicator without their appropriate symbols.

While this isn't really a big thing, I believe that adding these symbols in can potentially create a database that can account for any future releases of mechanics using similar symbols. That and the custom card forum would like them.

I was thinking a syntax like this: [[symbol:P/T-X/X]] for the P/T box where X indicates any number or symbol that can go in there.

And [[symbol:text/text]] for the level up box. While this is a little vague, basically the first "text" section should be what appears in the top of the box with lets say an 8 character limit (ie, the word level) and the second "text" section should be what appears in the bottom of the box, with say a 6 character limit (since the bottom has larger text than the top). This can account for all instances of the level mechanic that appears, and allowing custom card creators freedom to make whatever else they desire.

Though, that could be too difficult to implement. While not as awesome, a simple [[symbol:level-X/X]] where X denotes any number or symbol, does work as well, and is much easier to implement.
