If that's what you see every time you open the spellbook (i.e. not just when trying to cast with the edited hero) then you've most likely overwritten something in SPELLDAT.LBX or WIZARDS.EXE, and will need to restore from a backup or re-download the game. If that's not the case though, then it would be useful to know exactly what you were trying to do (e.g. add spell X or ability Y to hero Z).

it happens when selecting hero spells,i gave the hero 20 mp and 40 mp w/ and w/o specific spells(same with only 20 or 40),always shows similar(or same) reg wiz spells are fine

Under Unit Types -> <hero type> -> Attribute Flags, zero out the Caster 20/40. That's not how heroes work, and that's probably what's causing your problem. I assume you set those because you didn't get the expected amount of mana when using Hero Stats (YOU) -> <hero type> -> Hero Casting Skill? That value represents 2.5 Mp per level, added to an initial 2.5 Mp per level. If you want 10 Mp per level, you need to set it to 3. For 20, you set it to 7. However, total Mp is a byte field. You can't have more than 255 under any circumstances, and it wraps around. If you set, say, 20 as the hero's casting skill, that's 52.5 Mp per level. That works up to level 4, but on level 5 will give you 6 Mp.
