If you're casting 415 mnE spells are the primary , and mnS and sorc are the secondarys.

Years ago spells that were outside the sphere of influence of the spell you were trying to cast counted less towards your CS then those in the same sphere of influence (so, if you were casting 415, the minor spirit spells you knew would count half, for example, what the major elemental spells would count for a wizard). The update mentioned in that post made the minor spirit circle count the same for the sorcerer as the major elemental does for the wizard.

So long as you go by the formulae in the Casting Strength article, you don't need to worry about what the saved post says. It's really just there for historical reasons.
