Hail, friends! I promise you I spent a little over four hours scrolling through tutorials before posting here, and I absolutely could not find what I was looking for. Apologies if this is a repetetive question, but I will be as specific as possible if you will indulge me.
I am running WoTL on PPSSPP, and my hacking goals are very modest. I'm planning to add a custom job, which uses abilities already within the game. I have FF Ptcher 0.457 (on the recommendation of the tools page for WotTL), Shishi, CDMage, and FFTorgASM. So far, I've worked out how to replace sprite using Shishi, and by poking around in FFTPatcher I've worked out more or less how the Jobs, Skill Sets and Action Menu tabs work.
I'd like to incorporate a job that has job level pre-requisites and a custom description, but the tutorials I've been finding are from like 2010 and either vague or severely outdated. Does anyone know which tutorials might be the most helpful for a newbie in this regard? I'll drop my specific hacking goals in a spoiler tag to avoid screen bloat.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Job: Red Mage
Pre-requisites: Knight, Archer, Black Mage & White Mage level 3
Action: Red Magic
Goal: replace either dummied or unused character data with a custom sprite to make the job accessible to generic NPCs. Keep the game as vanilla as possible otherwise. I understand Mustadio has a duplicate sprite, and Valmafra (sp?) is unused; I've seen this quoted a few dozen times with no specifics on what this means or how to find them.
Things I've worked out: How to edit stat scaling and multipliers in FFTPatcher. How to edit skill sets in FFTP. How to set job requirements in FFTP. How to replace a sprite in Shishi. How to edit job description in FFTactext.
Things I need help with: How do I add new lines for custom jobs without overwriting those existing? Failing that, what can I edit without braking the game (either by giving enemies Red Mage as their job or causing weird graphical bugs)? How do I change the "Unknowns" in FFTP's Job Levels page to Red Mage? Once the sprite and job editing are done, how do you load this into your ISO?
