#12142 Chaos Shield spells should not stack

Repro steps:
1. Load attached save game.
2. Tell Starkon to cast Chaos Shield.
3. Now have him cast Improved Chaos Shield.

Observed: The two spells stack (as you can tell by the portrait icons).

Expected: Chaos Shield spells should not stack with each other.

Notes and relevant files: The effects of spwi222.spl and spwi723.spl both lack the Remove Effects by Resource (321) opcode to remove preexisting castings of themselves and each other.

    It's from the original game, right? I distinctively remember reading about tactics for Wild Mages that consist of putting Chaos Shields in some kind of triggers (Spell Trigger or even the Chain Contingency).

    Chaos shields are not supposed to stack. They fixed it so that they don't in BG1:EE but not in BG2:EE for some reason...
