Ability Text is Messed Up, please help

As I'm creating my Makura Lobsters Campaign, I decide to create the abilities for my spellcasters. When I finish, I test 'em out. All worked well, except three. They function well, but the spells' extended tooltip text keeps getting messed up. In the editor, it says "Increases target friendly unit's armor by 3". In the game, it says something like "A_W8xx3", jumbles of nonsense.

I went back into the Editor and it still says the normal text, but in the game its wierd. I've tryed several texts and none work!
Whats up? Please tell me how to fix this.

is the normal spell supposed to be an auto cast but u made it a non-autocast? i get problems with that too

try editing already existing spells instead of copying them, and then editing them. (if you did that)
That sometimes messes up stuff.

You use autocast magic.
