Talk:RemoveSpell

Based on my testing, it appears that RemoveSpell will remove a spell from an NPC's spellbook, but if that spell happened to be the "equipped" spell for the NPC, they can still continue to cast it until they equip something else.

My situation was an NPC who needed to have a spell temporarily for one encounter with the player, then be denied that spell later. I confirmed with RefScope that the spell got removed from the NPC's spellbook by my script logic, after the first encounter. But at the second encounter, the NPC still could cast that spell.

The only workaround I have found is that the NPC *never* has the spell in their spellbook. Rather, at the one time they should cast it, I have the NPC's object script call Cast of the spell without it being in their spellbook. That works because Cast does not require the spell to be "known" to the actor.
