Hello everyone,

 

If like me you still play and replay through Deadfire, I've just released a brand new mod trying to mimic Baldur's Gate's epic spells.

The spells require research, meaning you'll have to pick up "useless" abilities before unlocking them at Ability Tier 9, representing a progressive learning process.

The spells are non-keyworded to ensure they're available to every subclass.

 

Citzal's Immovable Object : Grants Spirit Shield, Bulwark Against the Elements, Mirrored Image, Llengrath's Displaced Image, Llengrath's Safeguard and Arcane Reflection for a long duration.

Concelhaut's Leeching Cloud : A significant upgrade over Corrosive Siphon (8 -> 12 base damage, 10 -> 45s duration, small -> large AOE).

Zandethus' Unstoppable Force : Grants all Tier 3 inspirations for a long duration except for Might (Tier 2) and Resolve (Tier 2).

Note that unless you get suppressed or dispelled, this effectively grants you unlimited spell casts because of the Brilliant inspiration's resource generation.

 

The mod leverages the Append to progression table mechanic, which means it doesn't overwrite existing progression tables for wizards.

As such, it should be compatible with anything you throw at it; I've tested it with a very extensive list of mods which are listed on the workshop page.

The mod is available over at the steam workshop.

 

Please don't hesitate to get back to me if you have any question or feedback.

I hope you enjoy the new spells !

Changed spell colors to better reflect their creators

Updated the mod as follows.

 

Added new spells and associated pseudo-passive research :

Maura's Creeping Doom : A more potent version of the Ability Tier 3 Druid spell Infestation of Maggots, doesn't scale damage based on missing health but builds up in potency rapidly over time.

Minoletta's Arcane Potency : Grants +4PL until combat ends.

Ryngrim's Overwhelmind Dread : A large AOE pulse emanating from the caster every 3s for 15s. Any enemy whose resistances are overcome is Shaken, Hobbled and Weakened until combat ends.

 

Adjusted :

- Concelhaut's Leeching Cloud no longer receives a free +15 Accuracy bonus

 

Fixed :

- The pseudo-passive Research abilities have been set to 0/rest so they can no longer be "used" (to no effect anyway)
