I'm getting the same error when trying to add spells to a custom subclass. I had added spells during character creation without error but they did not show up in the character sheet. When trying to add them again either through "Manage Spells" or "Edit Character" the error occurred.

Almost certainly an issue with the way the homebrew is set-up.

We can offer some assistance if you link the homebrew and the character sheet. :)

Nothing Homebrew when I hit that bug but I think it's gone away or comes back very randomly
