Adding/removing data to/from abilities in the object editor?

Hi, my first post here. I've read the faq and tried my best at searching the boards (the search needs some work... :/)

I want to know if it's possible to add/remove data/buffs/effects to/from abilities in the object editor. For example merge the devotion aura and vampiric aura and this would then be done by just adding a data with armor bonus to each level of the vampiric aura, but it seems like you can't do anything else than just edit the already existing data.

I fail to see how this can't be done as it seems simple to me, but the object editor really doesn't have that many options for adding/removing stuff. :P

I'm guessing this can be done with triggers etc., but it would be nice if someone could tell me if this can be done or why it can't be done.

Thanks.

I'm afraid you can't mess up with those unless you crack the World Editor and you edit the code itself. Which is extremely hard, close to impossible. If that would've been possible, trigger spells wouldn't be so popular anymore. ;)

That makes sense.

Guess i'm stuck with triggers like the rest of you then. :P

Thanks for the answer.
