Learning Magic

Also, why are you the only person who helps?

You could try also people at slick productions for assembly/coding help. They have some knowledgeable people in that department. There is also the Mnrogar Forum, but it is close to registration. I suggest you make searches in both forums for thing you don't know, sometime it can be quicker than asking here, and you could be surprise of what you could find as good infos. I'm the only one answering code related question because I am with Angelo, the only two that can understand ASM, and not even in totality.

I will dive back into my coding tutorials tomorrow to see if I can't get this working. At least for saving magic I can just run the calc on the loaded actor number to find the list I want, might have to ditch the cursed shield to make it fit, or dish off the calc to another section of code... but it shouldn't be too hard.

A JSR instruction and putting your new code at the end of the bank where there is some free space could do the job. This way you could keep the cursed shield. You just have to end you block of code with a RTS instruction. Here's 2 good link about ASM instructions. One complement the other:
