I was sorta right and sorta wrong.  Pandora did give AJ his spell, but it really didn't fit either of her reasons for giving out marks.

I don't think I understand what Pandora was attempting.

That's not unusual.

I don't think Hope knows what Pandora was attempting.

That's worrying.

I don't think Pandora knew what she was attempting.

That explains a lot.

I don't think.

It's the only way to survive people.

She had an idea, but I think she lost track of what she was supposed to be doing.

Yay for swirling dark clouds background in panel one!

I think what Pandora was thinking was that if AJ awakened, he might learn spells that would help him reveal the existence of magic either by pointing out who has magic, or (in a very unlikely outcome) by causing transformations. Of course anyone with magic has the potential to reveal magic if they're not stopped by DGB first, but then it's not like she had to be choosy about who she marked; I suspect Pandora actually wound up marking pretty much everyone she could find that she could give a mark.

She claimed to have 2 reasons 1) bring about change in visibility of magic and 2)she was bored.  She even said that AJ's mark didn't fit either but might some day do so.
