Help a Papyrus Noob - Cast on ReferenceObject

[Next_To_Nothing]

Just fair warning, I'm trying to get my feet wet with Papyrus trying to make personal changes to some mods and I'm having difficulty wrangling it.

I'm trying to compile the modified script below from the Radiant Prostitution mod and having no luck.

mf_simplerjobscript Property SimplerJob  Auto  
Spell Property SatiatedSpell Auto 
Actor Property Client Auto 
ReferenceAlias Property theClient  Auto  

Basically I'm trying to make the script cast a spell (SatiatedSpell) onto a ReferenceAliases from the quest (theClient)

The problem I'm finding is while I can get the script to compile when the .cast part is directed at an actor (Client), I can't get it to work when I put in a ReferenceAlias property.

I get the feeling I'm missing a step where I can connect the The ReferenceAlias to the Actor but as I said I'm pretty new to all this so I'm uncertain what that step is.
