Better Spellcasting and Sustained or Activated Talent Use

Better Spellcasting and Talent Use v1. 2 By Orgolove

---

INTRODUCTION Ever wondered just why the heck the sustained abilities have a cooldown/casting time? Ever wondered why the game requires such a long casting time for shapeshifting, rendering it nearly useless? Ever wanted multiple summons at the same time? Ever wished the spellcasting was made consistent in terms of having weapons drawn or not? (i.e. \"Haste\" cannot be cast with a weapon drawn, but Earthquake can be cast?!?!) This mod fixes all these idosynchrasies for a much more enjoyable gaming experience! This mod removes the cooldown and casting time on all sustained abilities and shapeshifting abilities. Also, it allows all spells to be cast with your weapon drawn. Optionally, the mod allows multiple summons and sets the casting time for them to instant. Unfortunately, having certain abilities turn off after every combat is handled via scripts. And unless I edit the scripts and release them, I can\'t stop them from turning off. And, I can only release scripts if I bundle them up in a .dazip, which is a terrible, TERRIBLE way of distributing mods. Therefore, I just left them as is. It only takes a click now anyway. List of Sustained abilities/spells affected (0 cd, 0 casting time, no casting animation, a simple toggle now) Dual Striking Momentum Aim Defensive Fire Rapid Shot Suppressing Fire Shield Defense Shield Wall Shield Cover Indomitable Powerful Swings Threaten Precise Striking Rally Berserk Aura of Pain Blood Frenzy Stealth Song of Valor Song of Courage Captivating Song Dueling Flaming Weapons Rock Armor Frost Weapons Haste Spell Wisp Spell Shield Death Syphon Animate Dead Telekinetic Weapons Miasma Death Magic Arcane Shield Combat Magic Shimmering Shield Blood Magic Spider Shape Bear Shape Flying Swarm Cleansing Aura Summoning Skills affected: (instant casting, multiple summons allowed, still has casting animation and cooldown) Summon Wolf Summon Bear Summon SPider Spells affected: (can cast these spells even with a sword drawn - you don\'t need to sheathe the sword or other weapons to cast the spell) Flame Blast Fireball Rejuvenation Heroic Defense Heroic Offense Antimagic Burst Death Hex Paralyze Horror Waking Nightmare Mass Paralysis Affliction hex Vulnerability Hex Sleep Stonefist Walking Bomb Mind Blast Blizzard Winter\'s Grasp Cone of Cold Shock Lightning Drain Life
