have you looked into godots Resource files?

you can create Resources that contains data you want.

like a Spell resource that has spell based data and then a character can use a spell resource and you can tweak the settings in inspector.

I would suggest you checkout resources, they can be also modified with resource save and loader at runtime, in addition to the editor. Furthermore, it would be interesting to learn where you run into issues with your state machine. Because usually I expected most data to be loaded at some point and then used. Maybe some modifications to data in memory and then persisting when you "save" the state/game.
