Fixed the "I dont know that TargetType. 0xff " problem.
I nuked both spells_en.txt and spells_us.txt, repatched and the copied both over to emu dir overwriting both files (wish I had written down the byte difference). I assume the first were bad/incomplete downloads since I patched it the first time, but spells work now so who cares?

Give that a try if you're having the same problems.
