While I was installing RR component "Additional equipment for Thieves and Bards: v4.92" I noticed peculiar warning:

 

SPWI705.SPL is broken, attempting to repair the file

SPWI705.SPL is broken in unknown manner, restoring from a backup
Copying 1 file ...
[RR/lib/ds/spwi705.spl] loaded, 730 bytes
override/spwi705.spl copied to rr/backup/7/spwi705.spl, 826 bytes
Copied [RR/lib/ds/spwi705.spl] to [override/spwi705.spl]

SPWI705.SPL has been restored from a backup

So why would RR item component should change Khelben's warding whip into a non descriptive spell called Plant growth and more importantly, how I can prevent this from happening? Commenting out spwi705.spl from RR/lib or removing the file in question from override before RR installation and then putting it back? Changelog showed this:

 

[WeiDU-FileChangelog.exe] WeiDU version 24700

Mods affecting SPWI705.SPL:
00000: /* created or unbiffed */ ~MIH_SP/SETUP-MIH_SP.TP2~ 0 0 // Made in Heaven: Arcane Spellpackv6.1
00001:  ~RR/SETUP-RR.TP2~ 0 7 // Additional equipment for Thieves and Bardsv4.92

but I doubt this has anything with MiH Arcane spellpack, as after RR uninstallation KWW is restored. Game is BG:SoD ( not EET). 

 

EDIT: as graciously explained on Gibberlings3:

 

String 25947 is "Plant Growth" in BGEE and "Khelben's Warding Whip" in BG2EE. The spell is still KWW, but the text is wrong because it's using BG2 string refs and you're playing BG1. That copy operation needs a follow-up to fix the text when installed in any game that doesn't include BG2.

Many thanks to author of this, and many more excellent explanations and tips.
