About this mod

Tired of seeing Might heroes without any Spell School skill flinging low level spells like Eldritch Arrow around? No longer! Spellbook restriction and revamp is here to add immersion and rebalance the 4 schools. Picking a specific Spell School will now be an impactful choice for each hero and add uniqueness during each game.

Permissions and credits
INSTALLATION: drop the data.pak within the data.zip into your HOMM5 Tribes of the East v3.1 data folder. Remember to make a backup of your original data.pak to “uninstall”.

A/ Level 1 and 2 spells can still be learned but will now do nothing unless the hero has at least the appropriate Basic [Spell School] Magic skill. AIs do know not to cast these level 1 and 2 spells unless they have at least Basic [Spell School] Mastery from play-testing. Mass Haste and Mass Endurance from the Attack and Defense Skill trees will allow both the singular and mass versions to be cast at Advance Mastery.


B/ Spellbook list has been rebalanced as follow:

Dark
Level 1: Slow
2: Vulnerability
3: Weakness, Suffering, Sorrow, Decay
4: Confusion, Frenzy, Blindness
5: Puppet Master, CotN, Vampirism
 
Destructive
1: Eldritch Arrow
2: Ice Bolt
3: Stone Spikes, Lightning Bolt, Fireball, Circle of Winter
4: Firewall, Chain Lightning, Meteor Shower
5: Implosion, Armageddon, Deep Freeze
 
Light
1: Haste
2: Endurance
3: Divine Strength, Righteous Might, Regeneration, Cleansing
4: Deflect Missile, Magical Immunity, Teleportation
5: Divine Vengeance, WoL, Resurrection
 
Summoning
1: Fist of Wrath
2: Wasp Swarm
3: Fire Trap, Raise Dead, Arcane Crystal, Earthquake
4: Phantom Force, Blade Barrier, Summon Elementals
5: Summon Hive, Arcane Armor, Conjure Phoenix



C/ Elemental Spells revamp (spells that are tagged as one of the 4 elements for Dungeon Elemental Chain):
Air: Vulnerability (damage only for Academy hero Faiz), Eldritch Arrow, Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning
Earth: Decay, Stone Spikes, Meteor Shower, Implosion
Fire: Fireball, Firewall, Armageddon, WoL
Water: Ice Bolt, Circle of Winter, Deep Freeze, CotN
 
*Note that Vulnerability, Eldritch Arrow, Decay, WoL, and CotN are tagged as a particular element but do no elemental damage. For example, Eldritch Arrow can still hit and damage Fortress Thunder Thane who is immune to lightning.


D/ Since Wasp Swarm now do nothing at 'None' Mastery level, Sylvan Sprite changed to cast this spell at 'Basic' Mastery.
