📋 About This Mod
Requirements

[]Compatibility Framework
Veenab Spells
Adds 5e and Homebrew spells to vanilla classes and to any class or subclass mod made by me. Additionally, adds obtainable items with spells tied to them.
VBT_Spells only includes Homebrew Spells while VBT_Spells5e only includes spells adapted from 5e.
See farther below for details what each spell does.
Veenab Scrolls
VBT_Scrolls and VBT_Scrolls5e add scrolls for the spells from VBT_Spells and VBT_Spells5e, respectively. Does not require those files to function.
Scrolls for Spells that are not available to Wizards can be obtained but cannot be scribed by any class.
Individual icons for each spell scroll proved too difficult, so these are substitutes.
VBT_Scrolls and VBT_Scrolls5e will add a bag containing spell scrolls to the Tutorial Chest in Act 1 and to a custom Wooden Chest at the very beginning of Act 3/Wyrm's Crossing.
The quantity of scrolls ranges from 6 to 1 depending on spell level. These scrolls are intended for those using classes whose spell lists do not have this mod's spells.
- There is no scroll for the Creation spell due it crashing the game for unknown reasons.
- There are no scrolls for the Blood Magic spells.
