This project has been an incredible journey—nine months of problem-solving, discovery, and growth. From conception to release, much has changed, but one thing remains certain: this mod will NOT be released on Nomad due to the extensive use of unsupported features.
Designed for full integration with the current skill trees, the mod ensures that each cross-tree includes at least one skill per tier. Some follow the thematic spirit of vanilla cross-skills, like Body and Lightning, while others embrace the mod’s core Arcane RPG theme. Although balance was considered, the primary focus has always been—and will continue to be—power and spectacle.
Without further ado, I present:
Fully Integrated Skill Tree: Larger image can be found in media
Player Abilities
Potent Cast Multiple projectiles with proximity homing Count and proximity range can be improved with skills
Unique Casts New ways to cast abilities, grabbing spell orb with offhand & grip casting based on charge level
Devastating Merges Push the elements to the extreme
Powerful Status Effect Explode or Implode charged enemies
Enemy Abilities
NPC Casts Found in late CH and custom waves!
Golem Abilities New abilities at each tier
Installation This mod is installed the same way as any other Blade & Sorcery mod by doing one of the following:
Vortex
Manually extracting to the Mods folder located at:
Configuration The majority of ability fields can be found in the skill jsons. Mod options are limited, but may be expanded in future updates.
Modability Arcana exposes events on a similar level to the vanilla game. If you have an idea for an extension, I can provide scale references for abilities like the barrier upon request.
