Well, first, are you altering the template? Are you freeing the
memory before you do so? Are you allocating new memory for your new
string for just that individual object that you are changing? Do you even
bother with memory - and thus are over/underwriting the allocated space
for the description?
If you posted the spell you wrote, you'd probably get better help.
