      The goal of this mod is to make cantrips more reliable, more versatile and elevate the weaker ones to a more powerful state. Overall this is a slight buff to cantrips. Cantrips are the resourceless alternative for casters and are not meant to keep up with a "strikers" damage output when not spending resources. However in BG3's fast-paced combat they fall behind significantly, so a slight buff will not have a large impact on balance and you shouldn't need a difficulty increasing mod with this.

      Recommendations

      • []Consider using mods that increase difficulty, like Tactician Plus, which allows you to adjust enemy health based on how many power-increasing mods you have

        []Do not overdo buffing/camp casting (less concentration allows it, but if you overdo it you spend literal hours buffing during a playthrough)

        []While enemies also benefit from the reworked spells, you will generally benefit more

        []Only my Rebalance - Nerfs mod makes the player weaker

        []Have fun

        General Changes

        Firebolt, Ray of Frost, Shocking Grasp, Bone Chill, Acid Splash, Poison Spray, Conjure Flame, Vicious Mockery, Toll the Dead and Sacred Flame now all scale slightly differently.
