Is there any monster ability, spell, or other hard-coded effect that uses the explosion graphics or am I free to modify them?

For your own personal use, or to get some specific effect in your scenario?

If you change the graphics, then any other scenario you play which uses them (be it for cutscenes, traps, or some spells, which all - I think - use them) will have the same changes. It'd also be annoying for anyone wanting to play the scenario; they'd have to keep track of which graphic is the right one for each scenario.

I'm not quite sure what you want to do. Is it some special effect for a cutscene? I'd suggest making special terrains for the effect, then running them in sequence in the cutscene.

Hope this helps.

What exactly did you have in mind to do?

It's not possible to replace it with a scenario's .meg/.bmp file. To change 'em in your scenarios, you'd have to send an alternate copy of Blades of Avernum Graphics (or whatever the PC equivalent is).
It's just like changing party member graphics- effectively impossible.

I know that one the mac that if I make a sheet with the same number as the ID# of the explosions sheet (1701) it should override. Not going to bother trying though if it doesn't work for Windows.

I know for a fact that the method you're describing does not work.

Which is what I said in my previous post.

Changing party member graphics is possible on Mac-BoA. LP does this. It's a little awkward, though.

I've never tried explosions, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked the same way, equally awkwardly.

EDIT: To clarify: the party member graphics thing doesn't work at first. One has to reload a save and possibly do something else weird. That's what I'm suggesting about explosions. Also, it doesn't work on Windows.
