Yet Another Power Overhall

Description

This mod will:

• []Remove mana regen.[/]

  []Make all powers available for both Corvo and Emily in normal New Game.[/]

  []Adjust the mana cost of powers, such that the cost of each power is (mostly) equal to half of what it would have cost after mana regen. The base game will regenerate up to 20 mana, so expensive powers have been calculated as:

  newCost = (oldCost - 20) / 2[/]

Specific power cost adjustments:

• []Blink, 20 -> 2 (nominal cost)[/]

  []Far reach, 20 -> 2 (nominal cost)[/]

  []Dark vision, 20 -> 2 (nominal cost)[/]

• []Devouring swarm, 40 -> 10[/]

  []Possession, 40 -> 10[/]

  []Windblast, 50 -> 10 (Divide by more than 2 as it's arguably a somewhat weak power)[/]

  []Bend time, 60 -> 20[/]

• []Domino, 25 -> 5 (Didn't divide by 2 as it seemed OP by the number of potential kills per application)[/]

  []Shadow walk, 40 -> 10[/]

  []Doppelganger, 40 -> 10[/]

  []Mesmerize, 60 -> 20[/]

I added the nominal cost for Blink, Far reach, and Dark vision because you would otherwise be able to spam them over and over again now that you don't have to wait for regen. With this mod, you can use them as frequently as you like without being penalised because you didn't wait for regen. The nominal cost is only to prevent infinite spam of them, which was previously prevented by the regen delay.

More expensive powers have (mostly) had their net cost reduced by a factor of 2 in order to account for the additional mana which will necessarily be expended by the nominal costs of Blink/Far reach/Dark vision. For example, 25 blink uses will now cost 50 mana, allowing you to use Possession 5 times, which is the same as the unmodded game (provided that you always waited for regen in the unmodded game).
