Well, I have found the reason. It was a mistake during patching the original Aerie's creature file. The slow spell was removed from her spell book, but not from a list of memorized spells. This causes the bug: the spell is sitting in the slot, but can't be seen because the game has nothing to reference it against. I've pushed the patch to the master on github. You can grab it from there and replay the sequence starting from the point prior to entering the room where you meet Aerie in the ogre form for the first time.

Or you can edit the save directly in Near Infinity. Game -> Open File -> Open External File, find the baldur.gam in the appropriate save's folder. Once it's opened, in the right upper corner (the "player characters" list) double click on "*ERIE6", go to the Edit tab, scroll down until you see "CRE resource" and double click it. In the newly opened window, scroll down the long list until you see "Memorization info 9". When you click it, you should see "Spell level: 2" and two third level wizard spells listed, one of them is Slow (SPWI312). If it is, double click the "Memorization info 9" line, select the Slow spell in the newly opened list and press the Remove button below. Now, you can close all windows (three in total) until you see the first one, with the "Player characters" in the upper right corner. Here, go to the Edit tab, press Save and confirm the overwrite. You should see the message the the file was saved and then a correct path to the baldur.gam

The issue should be resolved.
