Thanks so much for this mod. This is absolutely peak content!
One little thing I noticed is that Astral Castigation only seems to allow Auto-Crits on Melee Attacks, not all Attacks as it says. I noticed this when fighting Steel Watchers at the Foundry.
Sounds about right, since I copied the auto-crit feature from Hold Person, which is only auto-crits within 3m. I will address this in the next update, thank you for your feedback
It is me again, after very long thinking and not figuring it out can I have the location of the the key in act 3. I cannot figure out what the hint means.
I just got this mod and started a new playthrough... I only found the book with hints and as a 2000+h hardcore BG# player, i already can tell that i am in love with those hints. I understood them all now gotta go and confirm my ideas. Im looking toward this mod very much and i bet that this is gonna be one of the best mods ive seen for BG3.... I ll update my comment once i get more of it.
I'm having some trouble getting the Concentrated Psionic Essence in Act 2. I'm at the location in act 2

and I have the astral aegis spell active but it still doesnt appear. Ive tried activating it at the spot, before reaching it, sending just the relevant party member and moving the pak to the bottom of my load order but nothing seems to make it work.
EDIT: In typical fashion, I figure it out just after posting my comment,

I needed the upgrade container in my inventory then it showed up.
Hello, I hate to ask but can I have a hint on where the key for the first chest is ? I have searched the enitre emerald grove and after 40 min of searching every spot i can see i still dont have a clue where it is. Thanks
I absolutely adore this mod, the puzzles, the balance, the flavour, one of the best class mods I've ever played! I only have one small concern/question which is regarding the scarcity and rarity of the scrolls. Heightened Awareness, Glimpse Of The Akashic, and Mind Fog were all rather difficult to get, and it makes me very wary about using them for just a small stat buff or stat increase, are they part of a further puzzle, or is there a way to learn them as spells like a wizard? Thanks in advance both for your time and the fantastic mod!!
They are involved in a further puzzle. They cannot be scribed by a wizard, but a Mesmerist can gain limited uses of them at certain level breakpoints with each of the jewelry pieces equipped.

The description of the key used to unlock the scroll container should guide you further toward where you use them. If you brute forced it with lockpicking, finding the key is the next step.
Unless you’ve passed the point of no return in Act 2, you should be able to return to Act 1 at any point if I remember correctly. Finding the key itself may depend on your story choices.
I am having a very fun time with this mod so far, however I have a couple of either complaints, or bugs, or I may just be completely incorrect. I'll move this to bug reports if it's just a bug.
The Concentrated Psionic Essence and Type IV Ioun Memory Node cannot be found in my game. I got so wracked over being unable to find them that I looked into the code to find their locations, and they simply aren't where the code says they should be.
This is where the code and riddle suggests that the concentrated psionic essence should be. (as far as I can tell)

Hi there, Those are indeed where the items should be, but there is a further step to the riddles.

Both of those items are invisible: For the Memory Node, you need to cast either of the Astral Magic spells granted by the Glittering Gloves, as this item is the upgrade material for the gloves. For the Psionic Essence, you need to have your Astral Aegis active from the chestpiece, which it appears you do from your screenshot, so this may indeed be a bug that I'll need to investigate.
Please let me know if your issues persist and I can try to diagnose further.
At the end of act 2 and I can't for the life of me find the Thoughtlink Amulet, Essence, or the thing on the rooftops. I've been enjoying this loot search, but it's genuinely annoying when, say, I search every rooftop at Last Light and find nothing despite the hints, go to the only two spots on the map I find ravens and also find nothing, and go around the whole northern shadow-cursed lands searching for every possible statue only to find, you guessed it: nothing.
Besides me complaining, I also wanted to note that Divided Mind doesn't work as intended. It says when the 10 turns are over that I should regain concentration on Astral Aegis, but that hasn't occurred once since I've put the rare armor on Astarion in Act 1.
As for Divide Mind, it may not be clear from the description but it is “fake” concentration. You are still concentrating on Astral Aegis, but in a way that allows you to also concentrate on another spell. While Divide Mind is active, “concentration” on it can still be lost by taking damage, using the same formula for normal concentration but it is a Wisdom saving throw instead of Constitution.
I get that, but when the duration goes through it's full course with no interruption it says it's supposed to restart the original Astral Aegis duration. It doesn't, unless I'm just particularly bugged.
I've just tested on a new game and it works without issue for me. If you'd like to diagnose further, reach out on Discord at the link in the description
The only thing I can think of that might mess with it is that I've only thus far used it for Hunter's Mark. It might have some strange problem with how the concentration works on that spell, so let me see if any other spells cause the same issue.
