The Funnening - Wizard Augmented


This mod increases the duration of many abilities, increases underwhelming spells, clarifies others, lowers the afflictions of some early spells, and makes the late game spells more interesting.  Some of the changes were inspired by the Balance Polishing mod, which is another overhaul mod worth checking out.  A few icons were changed and the a few spell ability levels were changed, most significantly for Ryngrim's terrifying spells.

Mod Requirements
---------------------------------
This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the level of existing wizard abilities (where they are on the table).  Mods such as the Community Patch mod and Balance Polishing mod are written carefully to make as little conflicts as possible, and work well whether they are above or below this mod.  Changes from the lowest mod will supercede, and my mod is written more bluntly so it would likely overwrite keywords, damage, and effects when at the bottom.


Installation
---------------------------------
Unzip/unpack the folder and add it to your game's Data\Override folder.
You can use it at any time.

Put this below my Keywords mod if you have it.
This mod is not made for turn-based mode
This mod is made for version 5.0 but is probably fine with any

Modifying this mod:
To change values of the abilities, open it with Notepad++, format it for JSON. Then you can change the Values. Or just delete the ability files you don't want changes to.


Destiny is Calling, Adventurers!
