Improves Spirit Ashes to have additional or better buddies/loadouts(puppets). 

- Added 40 new custom summons! Can be upgraded to +10!
- All health has been rounded up and adjusted.
- All Spirit Ashes now have 3 passive buffs that activate at certain HP thresholds(30/25/20) to help with their survivability. Also 1 new passive HP Regen.  
- All Spirit Ashes now follow and warp to player instead of wandering around and standing still like Latenna. With the exception of the teleporting noble sorcerer. Which required the removal of the follow and warp parameter to allow it to function as intended.
- Added NG+ Scaling to Spirit Ashes to be more viable moving into higher difficulties.
- Adjusted NPCThinkParameter so Spirit Ashes can navigate ladders, cliffs, etc. So they don't get stuck trying to cross a tiny gap or walking by a small stone.
- Improved stagger resistance of Spirit Ashes so they don't get stun locked constantly. Poise meter was increased. Most heavy attacks will still cause stagger to help balance it out. They either have No Stagger, Medium Stagger, or Light Stagger depending on the Spirit Ash.
- Certain Spirit Ashes(Undead Type) have their cost changed and adjusted from FP to HP. 
- Buddystone parameter has been adjusted. You SHOULD be able to summon them pretty much anywhere now(not fully tested yet, but summon range was heavily increased). HOWEVER if using seamless coop, it prevents spirit ash summons from warping and following you properly for some unknown reason.

Huge shoutout to NexusMods user, Dweet! Thank you so much for all the info and help you gave me with this mod. Without you this mod would not be possible. Dweet taught me how to create and make new spirit ashes! So exciting yet so time consuming to create new spirits!
How to install? 

STEP 1: Please make sure you download MOD ENGINE 2 first! Create a new folder on your desktop and name it "Elden Ring Mods" or whatever you fancy. Drag and drop Elden Ring contents from MOD ENGINE 2 into the newly created folder. And then drag and drop or copy paste my mod into the mod folder.

STEP 2: Next download Elden Mod Loader and drag and drop those files into your Elden Ring game directory.

STEP 3: The next download isn't really required, it is optional. However I highly RECOMMEND it. Because Seamless Co-op gives an alternate save file away from your vanilla save file. Which will keep you safe from being banned when playing with mods. Download Seamless Co-Op and drag and drop those files into your Elden Ring game directory. Please download and use version 1.5.1 instead of 2.0.0. 

Also please note, using Seamless Co-op's tiny pot item causes the spirit ashes' follow & warp mechanic to not work properly for some unknown reason. This basically causes spirit summons to lose the ability to warp to you. But most spirits that can climb ladders(if they have the animation to climb ladders) can still "attempt" to follow you. I cannot fix this issue, only the Seamless Co-op devs can fix it. 

STEP 4: Once all these steps are done or unless you skipped step 3. Make sure STEAM is currently open. And then simply go back to the "Elden Ring Mods" folder or whatever you named it. Click "launchmod_eldenring.bat" to play with mods.


When updating, simply drag and drop/copy paste and overwrite to replace/update.
Please refer to the "changelog" for changes/hints for certain spirit ashes/summons.
