📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community backing with 255 endorsements and over 6k downloads.
  • Scaling damage makes Witch Bolt viable at higher levels—no more wasted spell slots.
  • Flexible options let you tailor the spell to your playstyle, from bonus action casting to dropping concentration.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in August 2023—might be out of sync with the latest game patches.
  • Only affects one spell, so if you're looking for broader magic overhauls, this won't scratch that itch.
🎯 Is This For You?
For spellcasters who love Witch Bolt but hate how it falls off after early levels. Also for players who want to tweak action economy with bonus action casting or ditch concentration. Skip if you want a full spell pack or major gameplay changes—this is a single-spell fix.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager, drop the file into your load order and make sure it's active before launching the game.
  • Test the spell on a dummy or in a low-stakes fight to see how the damage scaling feels at your current level.
  • Check the mod's page for any optional patches if you use other spell overhaul mods—compatibility might be an issue.
