Arcane Recovery

An assortment of spell tweaks and adjustments meant to restore intent, balance, flavor, etc. Based largely on 5e with BG3 in mind, these changes chiefly address spells that I personally care about or view as particularly heinous offenders. Globe of Invulnerability cheese is replaced with 5e functionality. Banishment reclaims lost territory. Dimension Door is no longer lobotomized. Shadow Blade loses its creep without consequence.

Bone Chill

Name. Reverted to the original Chill Touch.

Dimension Door
