Help with repointing?

Can anyone help me with this? I'm editing the ability set descriptions for Rune. I made the new description on free space in the rom. But I can't find the pointer for the description offset of Rune. Here's the offset I'm trying to repoint.

04D0594

Can anyone give me the pointer offset for it?

Sadly repointing is rather difficult for descriptions. There is a list of halfword (16 bit) values at 4CF374. The index of the command points to a halfword in the list. Rune is the 0x2Fth index in this list. This value is 0x1220.

0x4CF374 + 0x1220 = 0x4D0594

That's the pointer you're looking for. So yeah... Not so easy to repoint. :(

I hope this helped.

Thanks for the reply. I tried write a new description but it ended up being to long. So I decided to write it in this offset: A3992C. It's free space within the rom but how do I make the new description appear in the game?
