The weapons and spell graphics are not compressed graphics like the shield-blocking graphic, so you don't need to de-compress them in order to veiw/edit them in yy-chr. You just need to set up the yy-chr setting correctly and then go to where they are located. It can be kinda touchy though getting them to show up the first time.
As for making new weapon and spell graphics - it is very tricky because they are scattered in a bunch of pieces and some share with others. Will take a lot of trial and error editing them and then seeing how they look in game.
spells begin at offset 130000 : https://imgur.com/a/33jd8nW
weapons are just under them at 133FC0 : https://imgur.com/a/dbxt4dZ
Just make sure you're at 3BPP SNES and if they all look garbled or messed up keep pressing the + or - key until they line up correctly, allowing you to edit them.
Yes you got the right idea about the loading a save state during when the animation is used, then it will show a bunch of more palette sets to choose from besides the default ones, then you must find and click on the correct one for whichever graphic you're editing. Any save state is okay I suppose, snes9x ones should be fine.
It will be difficult to swap over a different spell graphic but not impossible, it will depend. But you rarely see new spell graphics so it is not that easy. Weapons are probably a bit easier considering they would usually be about the same size. But for instance you could probably find the fire ball graphic and change it to some other kind of fireball, as long as it's pieced together the same way.
