I don't know why the game bothers having 2 ways of handling the same thing.

I see, thanks. I guess "onebattlespell: Soul Vortex" is close enough. I'll put a note in the data that its not actually cast but it doesn't seem distinct enough to warrant displaying.
@Soyweiser: seems I missed that. I'd already mentally filed it under 'unexplained' once I got round to checking pages manually.
project status
I consider the item browser to be stable (just bugfixes and corrections).
I started a new branch with support for spells and units. Neither are useful as a reference yet, mod commands are not yet implemented at all and progress will be slower. Its here if you want to take a look:

The idea is that you can switch between the 3 tables with some shared search options. pinned overlays persist across all tables and it should be simple enough to cross reference between tables (so summon spells will link to the monster summoned, etc).
If anyone knows where I can find a list of spell effects that extends those in the modding manual that'd be very useful.
The spreadsheet on this page was useful for decifering flags:
