The main reason I'm attempting to modify descriptions (and other attributes) that are already moddable by the official tools is that I am hoping to make the GUI interface as complete as possible.
Since my program is modifying the EXE directly it would be ideal if everything the user was interested in modding could be done directly in that fashion. If you have to combine an EXE mod with a standard mod to get all the changes you desire, it would essentially mean that every time you used that EXE you would also have to enable the appropriate mods. Its not a huge issue but I think for the sake of having a nice UI and to avoid the nuisance of maintaining multiple different mods to accomplish just one overall mod, I am going to try to make the EXE mods as complete as possible.
So yes I will look into modifying the spell and item descriptions after the UI is complete
