Edit: The below seems to happen because `Lamp` isn't able to pull the correct metadata out of `pak` files for certain mods whereas `BG3MM` is.
If I:
- Install the mod - Start a new game with a wizard - Select Longstrider as a starting spell - Don't prepare Longstrider
I should still see Longstrider be castable, right? I'm currently not seeing any of the ritual spells be castable without preparation. I have other mods working but I can't seem to get this one working. I have `Mod Fixer` instead of the one "required" by this mod, as it is deprecated.
Are there any details I might be missing about installing the mod? For extra context I'm using `Lamp` on Linux to install mods so I have to manually choose "standard mod"/"Data overwrite", etc., but I have tried a lot of different mod types and can't seem to get this one working regardless.
Here are the contents of my `mods` directory after a deploy:

Think you could do the same thing for the feat "Ritual Caster" feat, and maybe Eldritch Knight since ritual spells to free up spell slots for wizard is like half their kit.
If it's at all possible to do, I'd love a version of this for Warlocks who took Pact of the Tome and Book of Ancient Secrets invocation, to emulate the vanilla D&D RAW behavior where you can inscribe any ritual spell from any classes' spell list, if you have the scroll for it, into your Book of Shadows. Either way, this mod is amazing, thanks for making it :)
Thank you. I needed this so much. I wonder if this could be used to modify the Ritual caster feat and then just award that feat to Wizards? This would let people pick it up outside the class for the cost of a feat.
Any plans to add the Quasit summon to the list? Its a ritual spell for Wizards, an alternative to the Find Familiar (though why they did it as a separate spell is understandable, but still a pain). Being able to summon Shovel as your familiar as a normal ritual (as it it references) would be great.
Even if we have to edit the spell into the list ourselves; just have to figure out what the spell is named for the .pak.
any way to make an optional version or edit it to myself to receive the spells at wizard level 5 instead of 1? or at level 3 instead of 1 for the strict version, so It wont feel like breaking progression with the level of spells you can cast
Can this be uninstalled mid game? Also, is it compatible with this? https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/594 to add no concentration / aoe / until long rest for many of these rituals or does your mod create new spells, like it looks like it is doing for Detect Thoughts? Thanks.
