I would say SGRASP is an early attempt at a Shocking Grasp icon, but then it's not present in BG1. So I've no idea what this icon is about.
This is just a guess, but SPCL626 and SPCL627 might have been intended for Shapeshifts Baby Wyvern and Shapeshifters Fire Salamander (which at the moment use somewhat inappropriate icons). They're almost certainly druid summoning or shapeshifting abilities of some kind, since they're in the middle of all the other druid summoning and shapeshifting icons.
SPCL641.spl is actually an unused Charm Animal ability. I suspect it was going to be used for the cut druid kit, the beastfriend. This icon could actually be used for the ranger's Charm Animal ability, since at the moment that simply uses the Charm Person or Mammal icon.
SPIN109.spl is the paladin's Lay On Hands ability, which uses the Cure Light Wounds icon. The SPIN109 icon is a blue hand, and definitely seems appropriate for this ability - a likely bug/oversight. It should be noted that the monk's Lay On Hands ability uses it's own, completely different icon (but since tthe monk's ability is different in that it only affects him, that seems appropriate).
SPIN758.spl is a "Word of Power" ability, which does nothing be remove and then re-add itself. Very strange.
SPPR709 is an alternate icon for the clerical version of Confusion - possibly they forgot that it's also a wizard spell .
I just remembered there were several spell names and descriptions in the Unused dialog.tlk strings thread. Reading through that again and looking at the icons (didn't think of that before - thanks!), it seems likely SPWI901 was going to be Spell Invulnerability.
The SPWI906 icon looks as though it could[/b] be Sand Form.
Interestingly enough, there is an SPWI801 icon, but it's used by SPWI519 (Spell Shield). If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say SPWI801 was going to be the pnp spell Serten's Spell Immunity (it would certainly make sense for Bio to drop that, since people could easily get it and the 5th level Spell Immunity confused).
