Flame Fatale - Charming Equipment Set

Made in collaboration with Plumegnis. Her Nexus page can be found here

Part of the July 2025 Modathon:

Adds 9 gear pieces themed around Charming enemies.

All items can be found throughout various shops in act 1 and act 2 Description

In this mod, we tried to combine the themes of Fire & Noir. It’s inspired by the Femme Fatale trope from Noir films and the general symbolism of fire in the context of seduction. The gear pieces synergize well but may act independently, similarly to the Radiating Orb gear pieces found in the base game.
