Help with buff coding?

Hey all. I'm currently working on a mod to make mages super glass cannons, and have gotten stuck when working on the third skill of the tree, which involves two buffs: Realignment, for personal defense but consumes enormous amounts of mana, and Breached, which punishes players for allowing themselves to be hurt in melee combat. However, I can't seem to get it to work--the first two skills work fine, but Realignment refuses to show up on the skillbar when the skill is learned, and Breached doesn't seem to be working, either.

If someone has the time, could they take a quick look through the code and see what might be the problem, or give me some idea as to why the skill isn't showing up? Below are my skillDB and spellDB code; I'll fully admit to being a noob at this with only 5 hours' experience of DoD modding so far:

-- is illegal in comments (except when you're closing it).
Should fix it.

 

God, did I ever have that problem when I first started coding -- as a lifelong writer of Web content, I have a fully ingrained habit of using "--" all over the damn place. It killed me when I realized you couldn't do that in comments.

 

Thanks a lot, Null! I feel like an idiot now.
