📋 About This Mod
PCVR | Nomad
Designed for full integration with the current skill trees, the mod ensures that each cross-tree includes at least one skill per tier. Some follow the thematic spirit of vanilla cross-skills, like Body and Lightning, while others embrace the mod’s core Arcane RPG theme. Although balance was considered, the primary focus has always been—and will continue to be—power and spectacle.
Without further ado, I present:
Fully Integrated Skill Tree:
Larger image can be found in media
Player Abilities
Potent Cast
Multiple projectiles with proximity homing
Count is increased at each spell tier
Unique Casts
New ways to cast abilities, grabbing spell orb with offhand & grip casting based on charge level
Devastating Merges
Push the elements to the extreme
Powerful Status Effect
Explode or Implode charged enemies
Enemy Abilities

Golem Abilities
New abilities at each tier
Configurable via mod options
Configuration
The majority of ability fields can be found in the skill jsons. Mod options are limited, but may be expanded in future updates.
Modability
Arcana exposes events on a similar level to the vanilla game. If you have an idea for an extension, I can provide scale references for abilities like the barrier upon request.
