Can you remove spells from the spell selection screen at character creation?

BluePear

I am making a rework of the Identify spell, but because of engine limitations I have to make a new Identify spell instead of just altering SPWI110.spl. How do I remove SPWI110 from the spell selection at character creation, so I don't have two Identify spells showing up. Overwriting SPWI110.spl with an empty file works, but then the game crashes when you click the identify button of an item.

There is a file named hidespl.2da Set the IS_HIDDEN column to 1 for SPWI110, if you want the spell excluded from spell selection.

I've had some success expanding it through the UI. So far it appears to be functional.

If you would like to try it manually:
Add this function, either in UI.MENU or a separate M_*.LUA file, replacing SPWI215 with any spellres you want, it just needs to be a wizard spell(for now):

	function	identifyCustom(num)
		for	spellLevel = 1, 9, 1 do
			for k,v in pairs(characters[id].mageSpells[spellLevel]) do
				if v.resref == 'SPWI215' then
					if v.castableCount > 0 then
						if num == 1 then
							setMageBookLevel(spellLevel)
							for	i = 1, 1 + v.memorizedCount - v.castableCount,1 do
								mageScreen:UnmemorizeSpell( spellLevel - 1, v.memorizedIndex - 1 );
							end
							for	i = 1, 1 + v.memorizedCount - v.castableCount,1 do
								mageScreen:MemorizeSpell( spellLevel - 1, v.index );
							end
							return
						else
							return true
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
		return false
	end

Find and modify this fuction (UI.MENU, Search ~showItemDescriptionInventory~):

function showItemDescriptionInventory(slotName)
	if(characters[id].equipment[slotName].empty ~= 0) then
		return
	end
	selectedSlot = slotName
			e:GetActiveEngine():OnLeftPanelButtonClick(5)	--	Add this line
			e:GetActiveEngine():OnLeftPanelButtonClick(3)	--	Add this line
	Infinity_CheckItemIdentify(characters[id].equipment[slotName].id)
	showItemDescription(characters[id].equipment[slotName].item, 0)
end

Find and modify this button (UI.MENU, Search ~Infinity_GetSpellIdentifyEnabled~):

	button
	{
		area 440 170 200 44
		bam GUIBUTNT
		text style "button"
		text "SPELL_BUTTON"
		--	clickable lua "Infinity_GetSpellIdentifyEnabled(characters[id].equipment[selectedSlot].id)" Comment out this line (--).
		clickable lua "identifyCustom(0)" -- Add this line
		action 
		"
			Infinity_OnSpellIdentify(characters[id].equipment[selectedSlot].id); 
			identifyCustom(1); -- Add this line
			Infinity_PopMenu()
			itemDesc.item = characters[id].equipment[selectedSlot].item --update itemDesc item
		"
	}

It will still expend an instance of SPWI110 with each use. There probably isn't any way around this (at least none that wouldn't interfere with the scroll version), but it should be possible to prioritize using SPWI110 first, before checking/expending other possible identification spells.
