0009165: xv description for spells (apparently) and abilities shows wrong information
My guess is this is known (I've been hearing about it in ##crawl for a couple days now) but I didn't find a bug report about it so I am making one.

From a quick zigsprint test:
"An orc sorcerer.
...
It possesses the following special abilities: Steam Ball"

I also saw an orc high priest that xv claimed had sticky flame breath.

From reports in ##crawl this happens with spells also, but my quick test did not find an example.
