I think the name of the mod itself says it all. This is a very simple mod that removes the gold cost for learning Spells.
I never understood the logic of "paying gold to learn magic for yourself." Pay who? Do you throw the money on the ground and the earth swallows it...? Anyway, this solves my dilemma and I share it with you for all those people who don't make sense of this either.
I already know that that gold is actually supposed to be what you would invest in the "materials" to learn that Spell, such as paper, ink, binding, etc., that they require of you in DnD TTRPGs, and I wouldn't have a complaint if it were so realistic because I always look for realism and immersion in games, but it is not the case... the fact is that paying "nothing" in the middle of nowhere, the gold simply disappears, and you magically learn a Spell , without any time dedicated to it. Because, in fact, my initial intention was to make a mod that would allow you to learn Spells for free, but need a short rest for each Spell, and a long rest for a maximum of 3 Spells, and the materials for it, but I don't know how to do it currently, so I made this little mod in the meantime, because this seems more realistic to me than simply throwing gold on the ground and learning a Spell instantly.
That's all for now. Thanks for your patience and I'll let you know when I have some great update to announce.
