Known Issues, conflicts, Caveats, and Notes:
=================

This is an edit of the abi_base.gda file, and may conflict with any other mod editing the same talents via that file.

GDApp (https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/214/) can be used to combine files and eliminate conflicts.

The relevant talent IDs are

Holy Smite - 25
Mana Clash - 11000
Paralysis Explosion - 90173

The data edited in this mod is in the vfx_impact0 and vfx_impact1 columns. (Always back up affected files before editing them!)

Tips o' the hat and credit where it is due:
=================

A debt of gratitude to the mod 'Holy Smite and Mana Clash No Crash' (which is no longer available), which is the blueprint for this and my personal 'PAR'-type mods.

Thank you to Alehazar for the detailed playtest feedback! I now consider this to be a version 1.0 release.
