Found one forum entry that suggested that the spell id might be the issue, so, finding no spell of id 1, I tried changing the spell to make it spell id of 1. The result was a spell scroll that did say CLR(2) but when I tried to scribe it, the spell book bugged and told me something to the effect that the spell id was outside of the proper range.

You don't mention but did you also change the scrolleffect to 1 and update your spells_us.txt file on your client after changing the id from 30000?
Scrolls are not used by the vast majority of servers simply because it adds a layer that is generally not desired. The effort involved in making and balancing a bunch of spells is enough without the added step of making scrolls for every spell as well.
Most people would use an editor(Nulls, Aliah/Secrets) to edit the spell file and then import that into their DB(or edit the DB directly with Nulls). Even if you dont want to use an editor, you should still start with an editor to get a feel for things.
Descriptions for items, spells, AA are all in the dbstr_us.txt file on your client, this is linked to the item via a number(in like descnum field). Find that number, then search the dbstr file for that number, it will have many entries like(66^1^xxxx 66^2^xxxx 66^3^xxxx) you then edit the line that applies to what you want. Look at other stuff to get a feel for what needs to be changed.
Very very few servers actually utilize a custom dbstr file or spells that are more complex than pets, heals, nukes, basic shit, so you won't get much help on more complex matters so get used to playing around more and posting less.
