Default New Spell: item description info "Not working"

Very old time player of EQ. Much respect for the work everyone has done here that has re sparked in me an old addiction.

I have a fully functioning (personal) server inspired by
https://www.youtube.com/c/hammackj/videos

I have modified quite a number of things and have a group of 6 toons running around Najena trying to get Jboots.

I started wanting to visit "old Plane of Hate". I have managed to get the zone working. My GM toon can port there. I created an Item to mem a new Wiz spell called Spell: Rend Hate. Item IMG The item description here works really well. I can change aspects of this as needed. (This is also what I will reference later)

I know I have fixed the spell_us.txt file as the spell wouldnt let me mem it into the spell book until I did. Which it now casts as intended GM casting spell.

THE PROBLEM I have is if I "hold right click" on the spell icon in the spell book or the spell Gem it comes up with an ERROR. Item Description Error: Item description not set

When it should be something like Other spell item

Now the item I created is right but the item being "auto created" to put into the spell book doesnt seem to be right so I think I might be missing a second item? I have done a lot of googling but cant seem to find it. Any help would be awesome.

Edited to throw solution in at start in case someone comes looking.
SOLUTION: It was an overflow problem.

I changed the spell number down to 41850 (changed NOTHING else) and all info is there now including the "grey text"

I had to edit the ID number using Heidi and then change both the spells_us.txt and the dbstr_us.txt

I dont know which 1 of the 3 was killing it but I suspect it was the spells_us.txt as I know the info was coming through from dbstr_us.txt and I could change that while the spell was 45000.

I hope this saves some people a LOT of time in the future only spent like 12 hours trying things to learn this.

THANKS for the help!!.
