Final Fantasy Hacktics

I've been working on messing with attacks and abilities, and when I go to use them in battle, Say I target an enemy with the new attack spell I made, it doesn't show the damage or the % to hit and the status, but when I use it, it still works. Same works with the Buffing spells I made. Target an ally, doesn't show the status or the percentage of the move, but it still works. Anyone know what could cause that?
