THIS MOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH FULL RELEASE

This mod aims to bring new spells, and some current in game spells to Arcane Rings. Currently 45+ spells have been attached to unique rings. Every ring is a stand alone item. No vanilla Baldur's Gate 3 content(Rings) are overwritten, so all non magical vanilla rings currently in game are still available to be looted during your adventures.

Some spells added to this mod are completely new homebrews. All spells have full casting/target effects, custom tooltip icons, spell icons, and some have added voice effects. The custom icons and tooltip icons are matched to the art style of vanilla icons and tooltip icons so the mods art will be seamless with the vanilla artwork. Also worth noting, every ring has unique custom art as well, so you'll definitely know when you've found a ring of the arcane. No 2 rings are alike, and I also made sure rings and the spells attached, are very similar in likeness with each other.

Getting back to the home brew spells. I tried to get creative with these spells, and make them fun and interesting to use. You'll never get sick of casting Magic Mud Pies;) There's also some vanilla spells included as well that are currently in game.

Spells added are set to be level 1 and level 2 spells, there's also one cantrip. Equipping the rings allow any user to cast the attached spell, no matter what your character class or level is. Using the spells costs an Action Point to cast, and you can cast it every short rest. The only exception is The Ring of Mind Mastery which can be cast every turn. All Arcane Rings are marked as "Common", and they will be found as loot/treasure, or may show up in a few traders inventories.

NOTE: ONLY TRADERS FROM ACT 1 HAVE ARCANE RINGS TO TRADE. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PUT MORE TRADE LOCATIONS IN LATER ACTS. RINGS CAN STILL BE FOUND AS LOOT IN ACT 2 AND 3 in chests or containers.

Spells are balanced accordingly for my liking. They've been set so they're not too over powering, but still have a little kick.

They'll add a new hint of spice to your battles, and help curve the spamming of the same old Eldritch Blast, or Magic Missiles. With 45 rings at your disposal, you will feel the power of the arcane! Just slip on a ring, and let the power surge though your fingers! Become the spell caster of your dreams!
