Suggestions:
-Let the standard spell descriptions stay on screen for a bit longer before bringing up the tomed description, and/or let it alternate between printing the standard and tomed descriptions, and/or add a way to manually flip between them. The "weapon next" & "weapon previous" keys might be the most intuitive ones to use.
Bugs:
-The arrows on either side of the spell/item rings are rendered over the text descriptions.
Speaking of the text descriptions, I spell- and grammar-proofed them. Where possible, I tried to stay true to the original text, but hopefully made the sentences flow better. I put in line breaks to make the lines fit without spilling over onto the spell icons, but some tweaks might be needed.

Standard Spell Descriptions
"A timeless classic! Standard fire-flinging\ngoodness. it launches a flaming skull\nthat incinerates stuff.",
"Bouncy ice bomb that goes through enemies\nand spits a lot of shards around. when\nfired at the ground, it makes for an\neffective choke point blocker.",
"Send your enemies up into the wild blue\nyonder! it keeps them levitating for a\nshort time, turning them into sitting ducks.\nit also scares them off, making them\nrun away if they can and overall, attack\nless freqently.",
"Lob a handful of acid into a monster's\nface! While the acid doesn't do too much\ndamage by itself, it increases the damage a\nmonster will recieve from your weapons \nand if you do manage to deal the death \nblow to an enemy with it, it makes them\npop gruesomely on death, hence the name.\nit makes short work of armoured targets.",
"Bizzare, scary and cruel spell! send\nflocks of ravens to eat those poor suckers\naround you! great at dispatching large\ngroups of pesky, weak enemies.",
"A powerful, albeit tricky-to-use spell.\nCalls fierce lightning down from the sky.\nthe best part? It works in-doors. it's\nsometimes a bit hard to hit things with it,\nhowever.",
"This one enables you to spit insanely\npowerful flames. I'd advise you to first\nincrease your mana capacity in order to use\nit effectively, as it will drain it very\nquickly.",
"A bizzare fruit of necromantic magic\nresearch. Rigs dead enemies around you into\nbombs. The explosion power depends on the\nmonster, and it works only on living, non-\nmagical enemies.",
"Summons a storm of ethereal knives to lay\nwaste to your foes. Useful on large\nenemies and crowds alike, but best used in\nclose quarters due to the limited range of\nthe knives. this spell really shines\nwhile a tome is in effect.",
"If you're looking for a total wipeout,\nthis spell is for you! condenses a major\nchunk of your energy into raw, destructive\npotential. unlike lightning, it's a pure\nenergy; it doesn't benefit from any\nenvironmental effects. tl;dr - huge projectile\nspam.",
Tomed Spell Descriptions
"Tome makes it burst into a volcanic\neruption. When fired at the ground, it turns\ninto a timed mine.",
"Tome turns it into frozen orb. If you\ndon't know what a frozen orb is - shame on\nyou. when the non-tomed spell bounces off\nicy floors, it gains more power with each\nbounce. it also shatters into way more\nshards when it comes in contact with lava.",
"Tome turns it into a megawave of enemy-launching power.",
"Gumpod nova. Enough said.",
"Tome makes the ravens occasionally stay\nbehind on the corpses of the enemies\nthey've killed. Monsters passing by them are\nin for a nasty surprise! initial ravens\nalso have boosted damage.",
"Tome makes you drop spiral-lightning on\ndemand. When lightning bolts are dropped\nonto water, they get supercharged, which\nmakes them deal way more damage. This\nenvrionmental effect happens with the\nstandard, non-tomed version, but damage is\nincreased to a lesser degree.",
"Tome doesn't grant it any special\nadditions. It does decrease mana burn, however.\nit's a whoppingly powerful spell, anyway.",
"Tome grants the user the ability to explode\nthe corpses repeatedly.",
"Tome turns regular knives into those fancy,\njapanese knives, giving them the ability\nto home in on enemies and negate gravity.\nthe most frightening part? it stops\ntime while in use.",
"Tome makes it siphon even more energy than\nbefore, ensuring total devastation on\nimpact... and on the way, too. you might want\nto increase your mana capacity first,\nor stock up on mana potions to be able to use it.",
Item Descriptions
"Powerful self-medical assistance kit.\nwhile it isn't cheap, it comes in handy\nafter heavy firefights.",
"The all-time favourite of crazed magicians\nand warlocks everywhere! boosts your\npowers with varied effects. With some, it\njust amps the power up to eleven, while\nwith others it applies additional effects,\nor gives them different behaviours.",
"grants you the ability to view things in\ndarkness as clear as in daylight.",
"Your standard-issue protection. provides\n75 armor points at a 25% damage\nabsorbtion rate.",
"Slightly more useful than your standard-\nissue armor. provides you with 100 armor\npoints at a 40% damage absorbtion rate.",
"This armor may save you in heavier\nfirefights. it provides you with 200 armor\npoints at a 50% damage absorbtion rate.",
"A exceptionally thick-plated armor. it\nprovides you with a whopping 400 armor\npoints at a 75% damage absorbtion rate!",
"Expensive, but a useful artifact nonetheless;\nit extends your flight\nability temporarily.",
"Your standard energy refill liquid - blue,\ngooey, and far from being tasty. Using\none while your Mana is high enough can\nput it over your current maximum amount.",
"Slightly overpriced, but it isn't easy to\nget this kind of amunnition; it powers\nthe ''Old Dreadful''.",
"Improves energy flow, thus increasing your\nmana regeneration rate.",
"Increases your mana cap by 25, up to 400.",
"Increases your health by 10, up to 200.",
