Your spell files is outdated

[gotrocks]

Try three things for me, in this order:

Dont use launcher, just open eqgame.exe and see if that works. Also, please make sure you are running from the correct eq installation. If you have more than one, the launcher may be updating the wrong one.

try what langrisser did:

Maybe he can post the link, because i'm not sure where it is. I'm sure with a bit of searching you can find it.

Lastly, *completely remove* eq and reinstall, then run the launcher and/or duxas again.

Get back to me if none of these works and we'll go deeper.
