About this mod
Removes the random chance of not consuming Mystic Vortex orbs from Io's warpath sigil, and replaces it with an effect that grants back a single orb 100% of the time.

This mod completely removes the secondary function of the Mage's Warpath sigil. There is no longer any chance of Io not consuming Mystic Vortex orbs after casting Stargaze V, nor can the sigil grant the Focused buff anymore. To balance this out, Stargaze V now always generates one Mystic Vortex orb upon being cast. Note that for balance reasons, this orb cannot be canceled into a Quick Cast Stargaze, unlike her charge attack and orb-generating skills.
The main function of the sigil, which is to grant 15% Enhanced Damage for 15 seconds, remains unchanged.
The goal of this mod is to bring Io's warpath playstyle closer to her no-warpath one, without outright nerfing her or changing any damage numbers. The mod makes it more viable to play an endgame Io build without having to bring the Concentration and Mystic Vortex skills to maximize value from her warpath's secondary RNG effect. Feel free to play around with her skill options as you would prefer.
----------------------------
Note on the Concentration skill:
Much like her normal Mystic Vortex orb generation, the Stargaze V orb is affected by the Concentration skill, becoming 3 orbs instead under the same buff. While this does mean that spamming Stargaze V back to back remains an option as long as the circle lasts, doing so would not trigger the effects of the Mage's Savvy sigil, as this sigil requires the Quick Cast effect.
Testing has shown that incorporating this sigil into your build, alongside using damage skills, stargaze weaving and quick casts can result in more damage and will generate more SBA during openings than only using Stargaze V. Use your creativity for maximum effect!

This mod is designed for usage through Reloaded-II and the Granblue Fantasy Relink Mod Manager. Consult the following link for download instructions if you do not have both: https://nenkai.github.io/relink-modding/modding/installing_mods/
This mod modifies the following system files:
- skill_status.tbl
- text/en/text.msg
- pl0400_3143_0_seq_edit_flags.bxm
The mod should be compatible with any other mod, as long as they do not modify these files. If they do, the mod might partially or completely not work. Whichever mod loads last will overwrite the other and take prioirty (in default Reloaded II settings, the mod at the bottom loads last).
This mod can be paired with Midnight's Overhaul mod by placing Midnight's mod below in the loading order, to ensure sigil effects work according to the rebalanced ones.
Known Issues:
- Due to modding limitations, the Stargaze V orb refund effect will take place as long as the mod is in use, regardless of whether the warpath sigil is equipped or not.
This mod has been tested on game version 1.3.2 and Granblue Fantasy Relink Mod Manager version 1.1.0.
Special thanks to Nenkai and the other amazing modders and dataminers of the Relink Modding discord for creating the tools and resources that made this mod possible.
Have fun and remember, say no to gambling!
