As you surmise, you'll have to do what the rest of us do: Use the Project1999 wiki or some other source for classic EQ spell info. I agree it's a bit of a nuisance, but that's how it was back then, so that's how it is on here now. Be sure you use a resource with era-appropriate information. Modern sources won't list the same data due to tweaks to spells over the years.
The interface is only new because the admins haven't yet found a means of forcing the old-style UI.
