            <EffectName>T_Blizzard_Particle</EffectName>
            <LocalPosition>0,0,0</LocalPosition>
            <EffectScale>0.2</EffectScale>
            <EffectDelay>0</EffectDelay>

Sounds like another problem that occurs from working from the /mods/ folder. See https://forums.elementalgame.com/434780 for more details.

Instead of overwriting an existing spell, I suggest you copy everything in the spell, then change the internalname. Then make the original spell/internalname unavailable for the game by introducing a <Prereq> that can't be filled.

This way, you get your own copy of the spell that is unique, and the core one is gone.

Of course an easier way to do it would be to just alter the installation file. Just back up the original somewhere.
