Sorry to hear about your stroke, Denmark, but auto-clickers are forbidden. At least in the old stance on macros/botting, all in-game actions must be matched by a player interaction at a one-to-one ratio. In other words, for every click that the game registers, you must have either tapped the mouse pad, pressed a keyboard key, or clicked a mouse button. You can use things like mouse-keys where the keyboard takes the role of the mouse, but only so long as each keyboard short-cut only performs one action (ie., a button can move the cursor upwards, while another button clicks, but you cannot use a button assigned to both move the cursor and automatically click after doing so). An auto-clicker is forbidden because it performs multiple actions (clicks) to one user action (turning on the auto-clicker).
Besides, you must realize that even a bot as simple as an auto-clicker could be used to a huge advantage. With the bot clicking for you, you wouldn't even need to be at the computer at all while it trained your Magic via alchemy. If that were allowed, it would devalue all types of Magic training and the time spent by people not using such a bot.
In the same one-to-one interaction policy, auto-typers are also forbidden, and since they create a lot of spam (and stress when real players try to compete with them to be heard in crowded places) and don't actually require a player at the computer, they should be forbidden.
