Spell reformulations: Bring to Light, Cleansing Meditation, Clash of Wills, Ignite Memories, Light of Day, Timely Reinforcements, Detention Sphere, Wrath of the Gods, Binding Hieromancy, and Vindicate. These spells remain valid subjects of research if known, but their tomes can no longer be crafted without an arcane escritoire.
Discontinued spells: Static Orb, Psychic Intrusion, and Spotter's Strix. If known from before the update, you can still use and study these spells, but their tomes can no longer be obtained.
Spell rank changes: Atomize from Expert to Master, Distortion Flux from Apprentice to Adept, Eyes of Kyne from Master to Expert, Relentless Precision from Adept to Expert, and Scapegoat from Master to Expert.
Added the Magical Traps archetype to Induced Charge; added Area of Effect targeting and Stamina, and removed Magicka from Rimedrop; added Infusing and removed Strengthening from Overload.
Version 1.2.1
Fixed a pasting error that caused the Light of Day spell tome to be crafted as though it were a scroll.
Version 1.2.0
Updated patcher script for Arcanum version 3.8.2.
Added research data for new spells: Mystic Marksmanship, Relentless Precision, Sparkshot Repeater, and Thundershot Barrage.
Removed research data for Blade of Damnation, Mind's Dilation, and Pilfered Arms. These spells have been removed from Arcanum outright, and if updating you should expect to forget the spells if you knew them.
Due to mechanical changes, the following archetypes have been changed. Ageless Insight: added strengthening techniques, removed Magicka element. Primal Taunt: added cursing techniques, removed strengthening techniques. Soul of Winter: removed cursing techniques.
Removed the ability to craft tomes teaching Enlightened verse, which is a reformulated spell.
Moved Hive Mind from the inaccessible section of the documentation to the un-researchable section, as I didn't originally notice that its tome is craftable.
Version 1.1.0
Updated patcher script for Arcanum version 3.5d.
Added research data for new spells: Battlefield Suture, Bring to Light, Countermand, Primal Taunt, Resplendence, Scapegoat, and Second Chance.
Added research data for the existing, unobtainable spells Eldritch Blast and Eldritch Reconstruction.
Removed Benediction and Enter the Infinite. Both spells still have archetype data, but their tomes no longer exist and so they cannot be learned without the use of the console.
Spell rank changes: Ageless Insight from Expert to Master, Daybreak Coronet Adept to Expert.
Psychic Intrusion moved from reformulated list to normal spell list.
Enlightened Verse, Mental Vapors, Overwhelming Odds, Spell Pierce, Stupefy, and Supreme Verdict moved from standard spell list to reformulated list.
Version 1.0.0
Initial upload.
Version 1.0.0 is made for version 3.1c of Arcanum, and will probably remain valid until the next set of spells is released in a future version 4.0.
This mod package is a script replacer for the Spell Research Patch Compendium by LordOfDragons01, assigning archetypes for the newer spells added in Arcanum's Illusion and Conjuration updates. It piggybacks off of the original patch's plugin - just re-import your spells to assign the new archetypes after installation. And unlike the original patch set, I've made my archetype choices public in the optional downloads section (which means spoilers, if you'd prefer they remain a mystery during gameplay).
Reformulated Spells
Reformulated tomes, which are normally crafted at the arcane escritoire from a mixture of simpler spells' tomes and a few secondary ingredients, cannot be crafted from common ink and paper via Spell Research's system, even if you've already learned the spell by legitimate means. This means you'll still need to revisit the escritoire should you need another tome to teach reformulated spells to your followers with a framework like NFF, and avoids the economic damage of mass-produced reformulated tomes. You can, however, perform research on the reformulated spells you know to learn more about spell archetypes - for example, studying Sunlight Spear will teach you more about spells associated with shock and the sun.
