      The goal of this mod is to improve Level 1 Spells that are rarely or never used and make them viable and potentially even competitive choices among the better spells of this rank. Spells that are considered top tier for the spell level will not be nerfed to accomplish this.

      Even though I try to keep it balanced, the general power level increases to an extent. Some classes that have a very poor selection of spells will suddenly have a lot of useful spells and that indirectly increases their power, even if these spells aren't more powerful than other spells of the same level. As such you may want to use mods that increase the difficulty.

      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

        There is little general changes as every spell has been treated seperately trying to improve them not just in power but also in a creative way where possible. However, many spells can be improved by merely removing their concentration requirement - adjustments were made to account
