[Solved] Skill Set Swapping results in "No Abilities can be used"

Hello! I can't imagine I'm the first person to have this issue, but after combing through many posts here I couldn't find exactly the same problem. If you can, please let me know!

SOLVED: So, so sorry. I'm absentminded and mixed up the skill set names in FFTactext. Oof.

EDIT: I asked a question about blue mages last year, and someone responded stating that you can't switch generic job skill sets due to hardcoding...is that only for player characters? In game, with the edits I made below, enemy Wizards and Oracles are able to cast the spells assigned to them in FFTPatcher.

In FFTPatcher, I switched the Wizard's skill set (0B) with Yin Yang (10) and vice versa. For clarity, this means Wizards should cast Yin Yang magic, and Oracles should cast Black Magic. In game, the equipped skill "Black Magic" is grayed-out and replies "No abilities can be used" despite my character unlocking Black Magic spells with JP.

Additional information in case it means anything lol:
Job ID for Wizard is 50, Job ID for Oracle is 55.
I removed 3 abilities from skill set 0B and added them to skill set 10 (Frog, Poison, Death).
I changed skill set 0B to only have R/S/M: Counter Magic, Absorb MP, MA Up.
I changed skill set 10 to only have R/S/M: MA Save, Magic Defend Up, Move-MP Up, and Any Weather.
I removed all Element 4 spells from skill set 0B.
Both skill sets are set to "Default" in the Action Menus.
Enemy Oracle and Wizard Job IDs are swapped in ENTD.

I hope this all made sense! Please ask for clarification if you need it. I sincerely appreciate any help; I've been working over 50 hours on this one darn edit and I can't figure this issue out. Thank you!

I don't see the point in trying to do something you were told wouldn't work, especially since you're moving the abilities between skillsets anyway. You could have just continued swapping abilities

Because I didn't remember. After searching through this forum, I looked at my old posts and made the connections. Unfortunately my memory isn't as sharp as it once was!
