Druid Multiclasses: Everything from Druid/Mages to Fighter/Cleric/Druid/Mage/Thieves

This mod adds five new kits to the game, allowing the player to create Cleric/Druids, Druid/Mages, Cleric/Druid/Mages, Druid/Thieves and even Fighter/Cleric/Druid/Mage/Thieves! They have access to druid spells with extra spell slots to accommodate them when necessary, SCS-style shapeshifting tokens, and both cleric and druid item restrictions (so just clubs, staffs, slings, and leather armor). All of the classes aside from the Druid/Mage receive XP penalties to replicate the effect of a multi-classed or triple-classed character, so rather than getting HLAs via the HLA menu on reaching epic levels, they simply get a custom innate ability that lets them choose their HLAs. There's also a Fighter/Monk kit, which might become part of a future, larger class mod.
The druid stronghold should be available to every druid kit, and the mod should be compatible with the sphere system from Deities of Faerun.
You can create a Cleric/Druid as a cleric kit, a Druid/Mage or Cleric/Druid/Mage as a cleric/mage kit, a Druid/Thief as a mage/thief kit, and a Fighter/Cleric/Druid/Mage/Thief as a fighter/mage/thief kit. The kit descriptions are below:

Now if we can get this to work with the sphere system from DoF ( @Raduziel ), I would really be happy.
Fine by me, just need @semiticgod 's avail.
Since I neglected to mention it before, the kit already gets the IWD spells from SCS v32.
And I already sent to @semiticgod what he needs to alter things on his side.
Cheers.
Here's an example (DoF restriction to make each Holy Symbol usable only by its kit)
But this way the mod would have to be installed after SCS, so Weidu can find its resources. Or you may get in touch with @DavidW and ask for permission to add the tokens to your mod.
I am also making a Cleric/Druid/Mage kit, which merges all spells into a single spellbook as a single-classed mage. This was more evenly-leveled than just applying the Cleric/Druid kit to a Cleric/Mage, but comes at the cost of disallowing armor and clubs, and also requires the kit to have 19 Intelligence in order to learn new mage spells, since otherwise all the priest spells would fill out the mage spellbook and prevent scroll scribing (altering the INTMOD.2da is another option, which arguably is better for players and for balance).
@Raduziel and @subtledoctor, I have one problem: I have compatibility issues with SCS v32's new IWD spells. I can copy them over if SCS is installed, but if SCS is not installed, this code, which copies over Static Charge, would crash WeiDU when the installer can't find SPPR419.spl:
Likewise, I would like to remove duplicate Cause Wounds spells. For instance, this code copies over the vanilla and then the SCS v32 versions of Cause Serious Wounds:
But I would only want one of those spells copied over, depending on whether SPPR428 existed or not. What should I change?
Check DoF's Github - there are dozens of examples there.
At first I thought it was because I was working with files with 8 characters in the name, but it persisted when I dropped several back down to 7 characters (and even deleted the unused 8-character ones!). If it helps, the full code I'm working with, minus a commented-out part with the obsolete version of the triple-class, is below (I know it says "Cleric/Druid" instead of "Cleric/Druid/Mage"; I fix that later):

Tagging @Aquadrizzt just in case there's something else wrong with my code that I'm not seeing.
Feel free to grab the files from DoF and use it as a model - everything should work fine (I personally never had an issue).
But it is good to know that there is a functional update; I remember you delivering the version used by DoF exactly because the one at QD's thread wasn't working.
Edit: Just checked and DoF's version is the same used by FnP. Maybe the mc dir is just a leftover. I need a coffee.
Gotta ensure that backward compatibility. ^.^ Good to know that the issue is resolved.
I use Faiths and Powers right now for that very reason. I believe it was you who originally pointed me to that, gotta thank you for that. Still, having the base class alone would be great.
lines in a row.
I can't give all of the druid kits the same kit ID because they need slightly different CLAB files and in one case a different LU file, which means I have multiple distinct kits, which need to use the same set of tokens (I'd have to create LOTS of new spells and .2da files to let players conjure different tokens for each kit). Is there some way I could add multiple opcode 319 effects to an item? Or, would it be possible for me to patch other, non-druid cleric kits' CLAB files with a custom spell that forbade them from using each specific token? That is, make the tokens usable by clerics, and then cut out all clerics besides the druid kits?
By the end we should have the option of creating a Cleric/Druid, a Cleric/Druid/Mage, and a Druid/Mage, though unfortunately the last one will not be able to use daggers, darts, scimitars, or spears.
You should run this sort of code after all the kits you want in it are already installed (that means as down as possible in your file) otherwise, the game will look for an entry that is not there yet.
Always below this piece of code:
Anyway, you can't use the code I gave you to more than one kit. That piece of coding is used to restrict an item to a kit and a kit only - at least that is the info I got some time ago.
What I do for DoF is create slightly different versions of the same .itm file and restrict each one to a different kit.
So I have for instance:
RAHSARVO.itm for the pure class Arvoreen
RAFCARVO.itm for the F/C Arvoreen
