NPC innate abilities should behave correctly

$

1. Start a new game.
2. C:CreateCreature("safana").
3. Make Safana join the party (Ctrl-Q).
3. Do a quick save (Q).
4. Select Safana's Charm Person ability (2 > F12 > F1) and target the nearby tutor.
5. Notice how Safana walks towards the target and touches it. If successful, the target stays charmed for 100 seconds.
6. Reload (L).
7. Right-click Safana's Charm Person ability.

*Observed*
The innate ability uses the description of the wizard spell, stating that it is a ranged spell that lasts only 5 rounds (30 seconds).

*Expected*
All innate abilities should have correct properties and descriptions that match those intended properties.

*Note*
A number of innate abilities have errors. I compiled the following list containing all inconsistencies that should be addressed.

Minsc's Berserk (spin117.spl)
- includes 6 Disable String effects with a deviating duration of 30 seconds, should be 120 seconds

Yeslick's Dispel Magic (spin112.spl)
- casting speed is 4, should be 1 due to innate ability
- casting range is 30, should be 40 according to description

Safana's Charm Person (spin119.spl)
- uses the wizard spell's description (@12165) but is purposely different from the spell (range, duration, saving throw) because it is a kiss, should therefore have a unique description stating the correct properties

Branwen's Spiritual Hammer (spin113.spl)
- minimum casting level for creating the +2 hammer is 6, should be 7
- duration is 10 turns at all levels, should be progressive according to description (3 rounds + 1 round/level)
N.B.: The spell's duration currently cannot be tested correctly in-game due to this bug.

Faldorn's Summon Dread Wolf (spin114.spl)
- casting speed is 5, should be 1 due to innate ability
- duration is 10 turns, should be 1 turn according to description

Tiax' Summon Ghast (spin115.spl)
- casting speed is 5, should be 1 due to innate ability
- duration is 10 turns, should be 1 turn according to description

Quayle's Invisibility (spin118.spl)
- casting speed is 3, should be 1 due to innate ability
- duration is 10 turns, should be 24 in-game hours according to description
