Yes, I can send a tell to the buffer (Shaman) with the following command: /tell TheGiver KABeg for ${Me.CleanName} regen 0
This will not have the buffer cast the spell.
Hello,

So, I was trying to get some buffs setup to be begged from my shaman. I have the following entries in my .ini file:
Buffs4=Frenzied Growth|MA|begfor|1|alias|growth
Buffs5=Unity of the Kromrif|Dual|Kromrif Focusing|begfor|1|alias|symbol
Buffs6=Talisman of the Enduring|MA|begfor|1|alias|regen
Buffs8=Talisman of the Lioness|me|begfor|1|alias|skin

I assume the aliases have to use the ones listed in the Wiki article. Do I need to have these buffs have dedicated slots in my Spells section? Because provided below is my .ini section for the spells:
[Spells]
MiscGem=12
MiscGemLW=0
MiscGemRemem=0
CastingInterruptOn=1
LoadSpellSet=2
SpellSetName=KissAssist
Gem1=Malvus's Malady
Gem2=Narandi's Spear of Venom
Gem3=Bolman's Pandemic
Gem4=Direfang's Bite
Gem5=Noxious Decay
Gem6=Frenzied Growth
Gem7=Svartmane's Affliction
Gem8=Talisman of the Lioness
Gem9=Ancient Bargain
Gem10=Ice Salvo
Gem11=Ennui
Gem12=Evil Eye
Gem13=Nectar of Misery

I can ask for growth (Frenzied Growth) and skin (Talisman of the Lioness), but I can't get symbol (unity of the Kromrif) or regen (Talisman of the Enduring) to work.

Any help would definitely be appreciated.

You don't have to have the spell memmed. The casting routine will mem the spell if needed.

The begfor entry is only to be used by the Beggar. The Caster in your case, your shaman. should not have any buff entry's with begfor if that buff is a buff that can be begged by others. begfor tells the buff routine to BEG FOR that buff.
I think the following should work better:

Buffs4=Frenzied Growth|MA|alias|growth
Buffs5=Unity of the Kromrif|Dual|Kromrif Focusing|alias|symbol
Buffs6=Talisman of the Enduring|MA|alias|regen
Buffs8=Talisman of the Lioness|me|alias|skin

Thanks for the suggestion!

This appears to do nothing different. Skin & Growth are the only two I can get to work, and they are also the only 2 I have memmed.

I also while trying things out attempted symbol with Unity in one of my Spell Slots and this still did not work. I even attempted to use the alias skin and send a command that specified "KABeg for {$Me.CleanName} skin 1" since I figured if you have multiple you can send the next one in line (zero-based array). This also did not work, but I am not sure if my understanding of how it works is also correct. It seems I can only get Frenzied Growth and Talisman of the Lioness to cast.

Edit: Additional testing added
