Condensing Spell List in Battle

1) regarding Gi Nattak's changes without this patch: is the spell the CaaM casting actually known (as in learned) by any of your active, battle-present party?  if not, try giving it to somebody, and see whether it's still free.

2) regarding the patch: what's to stop the .findSpell loop from going past the end of the Magic list and reading gibberish when the spell isn't known?  (and because of the intent of the patch, i.e. operating on everybody's separate Magic list, it's enough for the one character to not know it.)

About #1, the spells being cast by the CaaM are free still indeed if a battle-present party character(s) in battle knows it, yes. For vanilla (and my mod) the CaaM can cast away spells to their hearts content, but not when this patch comes into play. I noticed when scanning a CaaM it shows/loads their HP but not their MP, which we know already I think. But it just seems like with this patch applied it bypasses whatever code there might be to not check for MP and then gives the Need MP flag. It'd be nice to either A) have the CaaM MP be loaded property to be able to cast the spells, or B) have it not check for MP again. But I have no idea what is happening really.
