Though it's really, incredibly basic code, you can check out a
patch which I remember from a while ago about innate spell/skills. It
would allow you to make a spell like affectation, and as long as you set
the timer negative, it would be regarded as 'innate', and never removed.
The patch comes with the demonstration functions 'sinnate' and 'rinnate'
to set and remove innates on characters.
I do not however, have any idea where that code is right now.
