📋 About This Mod
Turns warding bond into a permanent buff (like aura of protection) instead of until long rest so you don't have to recast the spell every time you wake up. Optional No VFX version.
To remove the buff, you need to respec or kill the recipient of the buff. Respeccing the caster does nothing.
Install using BG3 mod manager
