need a 3.5 dnd macro for spellfire

I am going to be playing in a group soon and I suck at macro writing. lets face it, I'm a serious noob when it comes to macros, yes I have already gone through the wiki page. not helping. I would love it if someone could help me out here. Persons gifted with the spellfire ability can do amazing things, dependent upon their skill, talent, and the amount of magical energy they have within them at the time. In general, spellfire can be used to heal, create blasts of destructive fire, or absorb magical effects it contacts, although the exact effects vary by circumstance and user. Talented wielders can release multiple blasts at once or even fly using the ability. A spellfire wielder can ready an action to absorb spells targeted at her as if she were a rod of absorption. She gets one level of spellfire energy for every spell level absorbed and can store a number of spellfire energy levels equal to her Constitution score. As a standard action, she may expend these spellfire energy levels as a ranged touch attack (maximum range 400 feet), dealing 1d6 points of spellfire damage per level expended (Reflex half DC 20). Spellfire damage is half fire damage and half raw magical power, just like the damage of a flame strike spell is half fire and half divine energy. Creatures with immunity, resistance, or protection against fire apply these effects to half the damage. A spellfire wielder can also heal a target by touch, restoring 2 hit points per spellfire energy level expended for this purpose. Unlike most supernatural abilities, spellfire is affected by spells and magic items that affect spell-like abilities, such as a rod of absorption or a rod of negation (if pointed at the manifestation rather than the wielder). It can be thwarted or counterspelled by dispel magic, and theoretically a spellfire wielder could counterspell another's spellfire. However, spellfire is a supernatural ability and does not provoke an attack of opportunity when used, nor is it subject to spell resistance. This is what I am trying to write as a macro. Please Help!
Hmm... I'm thinking something along the lines of this: List Heal Attack Fly Etc. Naturally I'd need to have the dice rolls/etc. to make it. But it would be a drop-down query so that you simply pick the effect that you'd like to happen.
Thanks for responding, I am a moron when it comes to writing macros, This is the part that I need: As a standard action, she may expend these spellfire energy levels as a ranged touch attack (maximum range 400 feet), dealing 1d6 points of spellfire damage per level expended (Reflex half DC 20). Spellfire damage is half fire damage and half raw magical power, just like the damage of a flame strike spell is half fire and half divine energy. Creatures with immunity, resistance, or protection against fire apply these effects to half the damage. A spellfire wielder can also heal a target by touch, restoring 2 hit points per spellfire energy level expended for this purpose. Unlike most supernatural abilities, spellfire is affected by spells and magic items that affect spell-like abilities, such as a rod of absorption or a rod of negation (if pointed at the manifestation rather than the wielder). It can be thwarted or counterspelled by dispel magic, and theoretically a spellfire wielder could counterspell another's spellfire. However, spellfire is a supernatural ability and does not provoke an attack of opportunity when used, nor is it subject to spell resistance. I'm also having trouble locating any premade spell macros. I know they're here, because I've seen them, but now I can't find them.
Okay. I'm working on something I think might suit your needs. I'll invite you into the testing world, once I'm done, so that you may test it out and see if that's something you'd like. That way you don't slap it into the game and find out you don't really like it. I'll have a couple methods made so you can pick the one you like most. If it's one of the more complicated ones, there could end up being the issue of incorrectly copying and pasting of stuff. But you're the customer ( I work for free :P ) so it's ultimately you're choice.
Are you using any Templates or Character Sheets?  Or just the default template and raw macros?
I'm using the sheet and trying to modify the spell macro, but every time the query pops up. it shows text when it should be a drop down. The text stops right after the StndRoll part of the template... I have made the appropriate conversions... 
That usually means you have a comma or pipe,  or have too many curly braces without HTML entity replacements. If you post your macro we can poke at it.  When you say "the sheet", which sheet by name?

Maybe the forum converted it, but it looks like the closing brace of the concentration Roll Query is missing amp;. Also, you'll want to replace all of the commas with HTML entities. On a side note, it's almost never necessary to replace opening curly braces.
Thank you everyone for the quick response to my call for help! qwerty4132 Thank you! I would love to test what you have.
