Change Log:
--------------------

- v2.0: added all sustainables of the game (all classes + all companions)

- v1.0: Release version - only Mage class included


--------------------
Description:
--------------------

Originally this mod was designed to halve the mana costs (reserved mana) for Mage's sustained spells/abilities to be able to use them all simultaneously because I wanted to play some sort of Battlemage/Monk.

Now I advanced the mod to cover all sustained abilities of all classes and companions based on the latest DA2 build v1.04. Just pick the files you want to be active.

I also offer a compatability patch for the mage version if you want to use it in combination with Free Spirit Healer.
