I would like to correct some misspelled names based on another list, where the names are correct.

For example, I have this text:

ff Kazaroy, Sengir Pureblood S aE Didcono Ungido Ae yf Soldado do Bispo Ue ra Lamina Celeste daLegiao L

and I have this list:

Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood/ Diácono Ungido/ Soldado do Bispo/ Lâmina Celeste da Legião

I don't want hunspell to correct these words on my text based on the English dictionary, or any dictionary whatsoever (as Kazarov is a Russian name, some words are in English and others in Portuguese) so I'd rather used my list as a "dictionary". I tried adding custom words with add_words function.

I tried, as an example

text2 <- hunspell(text, dict = dictionary(add_words = "Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood")
print(text2[[1]])
hunspell_suggest(text2[[1]])

But not only it does not work but it still uses the English dictionary. I am considering creating a custom dictionary somehow, but I feel like it will not be very efficient (and I don't even know how to do it yet).

Any suggestions?

I think the issue is with: 

dictionary(add_words = "Kazarov, Sengir Pureblood")

add_words should be a character vector.

Try:

dictionary(add_words = c("Kazarov", "Sengir", "Pureblood"))

It still looks like it has problems with Kazarov/Kazaroy, but the other 2 words go fine.
