📋 About This Mod
I found Break of Dawn icon while checking around combat log and got inspired. Clerics barely have offensive spells, so I make it.
What does this mod do?
Add radiant version of Thunderwave spell for Clerics, Druids, Sorcerers, and Wizards into all vanilla levels (1-12).
Supposed to be compatible with level 20 since I already made level 9 spell version for it. Couldn't test it myself since I don't use level 20 mod.
For scroll version, I have no skill on creating icons. Feel free to make patch for it.
Installation/Uninstallation
Can be install at any time. For sorcerers/wizard, please respect out to make sure you do not have this spell in your spell list before uninstalling. Druids and Clerics can simply unselect the spell.
Mod compatibility
It shouldn't conflict with any mod, since I made this spell to be merged with vanilla spell lists.
Big thanks to GamezPro for creating effects and sounds for this spell.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple concept that fits well for holy or light-themed characters
- Recent update (Nov 2025) shows the author is still active
- Decent community support with 70 endorsements
⚠️ Cons
- Only one spell added — may not be worth it if you want a larger spell pack
- No details on balance or scaling compared to the original Thunderwave
- Limited to four classes, so not for every build
For players who want a radiant alternative to Thunderwave for their cleric or paladin-like caster. If you're a druid or sorcerer looking for a light-themed blast, this is a quick add. Skip if you want a comprehensive spell mod or if you don't play these classes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your mod manager's load order to ensure the spell appears in your spell list
- If you're using other spell mods, test in a new game or after a save reload to avoid conflicts
- Since it's a homebrew spell, it may not be balanced for all difficulty levels — adjust your playstyle accordingly
