📋 About This Mod
Main module
Edits file entry: Shared/Stats/Passive/WildMagic
Using another mod that edits the same entry, will cause one to overwrite the other (bottom of load order, last to load overwrites those above/before). This can cause unpredictable bugs or partially working features.

[]Surge DC decreased from 20 to 15
[
]Tides of Chaos buff decreases Surge DC to 2. It’s 18 normally.[]Cantrips also trigger surges, as do free spells like those from feats or equipment. Spellslots from other classes including warlock also work, but that's a feature of the base game.
[]If you have consumed your tides of magic and don’t currently have the tides of magic buff, your next surge will replenish your tides of magic
This should make the experience more consistent, make the class much stronger with your replenishable tides of chaos and more fun with more surges. It was frustrating in vanilla that you would only average 1 surge every few fights if you were lucky and the subclass didn’t really give you positive buffs, compared to the other extremely powerful subclasses sorcerer has. Like 50/50 chance to nuke yourself or buff yourself, compared to unarmored defense and elemental resistance isn’t very impressive.

The following is the old description for the archived files. They should still work, but they were made before the toolkit was released and were a bit messily made.
Wild Magic is a woefully mundane DC 20(5%), with tides of magic DC 11(45%). A miserable washout, wanting for modification.
We made wonderous modifications, with minute waffling:
-
[]Wacky Wild Magic: DC15 (25%)
[
]Wacky Tides of Chaos: DC5(75%) after using tides of chaos[]Wacky Wild Magic and Tides of Chaos: the above 2 combined
[]Wackiest Wild Magic: dc2(95%), tides of chaos DC1(100%)
Checkout Wild Magic D100 Table: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2967
Which adds a tonne of new effects to the wild magic table. If you want to use their tides of chaos changes than make sure you arn't using the ones from my mod. it wont cause any issues, just one mod will overwrite the others. My mod is 100% compatible with wildmagic table.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 127 endorsements and over 4.6k downloads
- Simple concept—just tweaks surge rates, no bloat
- Regularly updated (March 2026) so likely works with current patches
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Wild Magic chance, not the effects themselves
- Small mod, so support and documentation are minimal
For sorcerer players who want more frequent wild magic surges without relying on Tides of Chaos. Also for those who want to fine-tune the chaos level in their playthrough. Skip if you prefer predictable spellcasting or want new wild magic effects.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's files to see which version matches your desired surge rate—there are multiple options.
- If you're using other mods that affect Wild Magic, load this one last to ensure it takes priority.
- Test in a save before committing—you might get more surges than you bargained for.
