Spells & Magic: 101-103: New Spells
This group offers new spells, either imported from Icewind Dale, or Really new spells created from scratch (with a lot of help!). See the next section for Spell Descriptions.
101: All new spells (including IWDEE spells if applicable)
This component installs all new spells provided by this mod. That is, it will install both the Icewind Dale spells (if applicable), and the 'new new' spells offered by this mod. See the Next Section for Spell Descriptions.
102: IWDEE spells only
This component will only install IWDEE spells if they are not already installed.
103: New spells only
This component will only install the unique spells offered by this mod.
Spells & Magic: 110: All Locally Revised Spells {NOT AVAILABLE IN VERSION 1}
This component revises all spells not covered by the global components below (subject to settings in b_spells_settings.ini.
Spells & Magic
This mod aims to increase player options by adding new and revised spells, as well as new options for spellcasters (and, in some cases, non-spell casters).
Special Note: EEex
This mod does not require EEex , but many of the components will either work best with EEex installed, or will unfortunately be dependent on EEex (because there is no other reasonable way to implement the component). As such, I encourage you to click on the link and install EEex if you are able.
Components Overview
Spells & Magic: 101-???: New and Revised Spells
This group of components deal with spells, both adding new spells and revising existing spells. This group of components does not deal with broader modifications to the spell system, such as the addition of cantrips or unique spell lists (see the following sections for details on those components).
The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.
Known Issues (New and Revised Spells):
Spells & Magic: 120 - ???: Cantrips and Modified Spell Lists {NOT AVAILABLE IN VERSION 1}
This group of components add cantrips, both the '0-level' versions and/or the '1st-level' versions, or radically modify spell lists in some way.
Known Issues (Cantrips and Modified Spell Lists):
Spells & Magic: ???-???: New and Revised Items
This group of components add new items and revises existing items.
Known Issues (New and Revised Items):
Spells & Magic: ??? - ???: Expanded Abilities and Attributes
This group of components modify special abilities, especially 'skill-like', special abilities or make attributes (especially non physical attributes) more meaningful by granting modifiers to abilities and skills based on the characters attribute scores. For components that convert certain abilities to skills, see the following section (Expanded Skills).
Note
These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).
Known Issues (Expanded Abilities and Attributes):
Spells & Magic: 2101 - ???: Expanded Skills
Heavily inspired by OlvynChuru's epic thieving mod, and largely impossible without OlvynChuru's contributions to EEex, these components seek to expand rogue skills in some way, whether by allowing choice where there wasn't choice before, by expanding what a player can do with their skills (or both), or even restricting a skill or skill-like ability in some way.
This group of components adds (thief-like) class skills to the game or modifies class skill points to be distributed differently, or allows other classes to perform them where possible.
Note
These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).
Known Issues (Expanded Skills):
EEex expanded skills in BGEE: These components may not work properly in non-SOD BGEE. This is an EEex issue, and cannot be fixed on my end (er, I don't know how to fix it).
Thief Skills: Use Scrolls:
'Component 1901: Use scrolls - 10th level' will not display for a character created in Throne of Bhaal. The skill will display upon level up, however.
'Component 1902: Use scrolls - no level requirement' is likely overpowered. Use at your discretion.
Spells & Magic: 4001 - ???: Magic Item Creation
This group of components deal with magic item creation and recharging. These components allow players to create scrolls, potions and wands, and they allow players to recharge wands. There are a number of different creation subsystems for each, and users can install different subsystems for different items. These components can also interact with the proficiency system (see below for details).
This component adds new magic items, and item creation. The general description of each component can be found below. For a more in depth description of each, see the following sections.
Note
The added items are identical to those added by Spells and Magic and B_Kits. However, consumable magic items--in particular scrolls and wands--work slightly differently in these three mods. These mods are completely compatible, however, and any changes will be noted in the description.
Known Issues (Magic Item Creation):
Spells & Magic: 5001 - ???: High Level Abilities
This group of components deal with high level abilities, either adding new HLAs, modifying existing HLAs, or both.
Note
These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).
Known Issues (High Level Abilities):
Spells & Magic: 6001 - ???: Limitations
This group of components actually reduce player ability in some way. They are intended to be installed with the above enhancement components, in order to preserve some kind of balance. However, they can be installed without the bonuses, or not at all as you prefer.
Note
These components are virtually identical to those in B_Kits and thus will not install if they are already installed by that mod (and vice versa).
Known Issues (Limitations):
Spells & Magic: ??? - ???: Extras
This group of components contain a number of features that do not fit anywhere else.
