Thanks for the clear up. Are acquired powers addable by mods or hard-coded? I'd love to add something like a basic Magic Missile or the power-holler from Skyrim, or maybe a Super Mario Brothers-esque fireball.
EDIT: Spells seem to be based on adding or removing tags from a targeted entity, based on the raws. Maybe a mayhem-causing spell that makes a targeted person act like a rabid animal? (imagine turning a person in the middle of a bazaar into a rabid beserker. hilarity)
EDIT2: I might as well make a playable race with inherent magical powers once I get the hang of how powers work. Maybe a "brainflayer", a pink tentacled biped with a host of magic powers depending on the caste. Imagine getting seiged by them...

Breath hell and execute them all.

The first caste of Flayer is fairly functional. It can cast a Fireball, Fire Jet and Dragonfire.
