Skyrim Mod:Mod File Format/SHOU

SHOU records contain information on dragon shouts and other similar abilities such as racial activated powers.

Each SHOU record always ends with 3 SNAM subrecords for each word of power (WOOP) and corresponding (SPEL) attached. Powers that are not actual dragon shouts (werewolf, racial) still have the 3 records, they are just all 0s when it doesn't apply. A shout override with fewer than three SNAM subrecords will leak the missing subrecords in from the overridden record, while a shout record with more than three SNAM subrecords will write past the end of the shout data in-memory, causing memory corruption.
