Hrm, after actually reading this thread... this actually might be even easier than I was thinking.
If FF6usME can edit both magitek list without issue, it should be easy enough to just relocate all the vanilla Magitek information (window and spells) to a new location and intact, then have a custom command (formally know as "Summon") use the original code in C1/. Would allow Magitek to work unchanged, yet add the use of a normal command to pull up a list of spells that, yes, could be changed from the standard editor.
The only thing at that point that would require a hex editor dirrectly would be to set which character got the special list vs the normal list. (I would say just redirect two commands, one to reach each list but that would be a little wastefull and limiting in regards to the number of availble commands).
Only one problem, I never fully grasp how a command's C2/ data connected to the window drawing in C1. And naturally I've forgotten 90% of the little I figured out last time I tried it. So yeah, the C1 side of it seems pretty simple (and is covered in this thread pretty well), I'd have to do some research to figure out the rest of it though.
Makes me wonder about something else, hrm.

The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.
