📋 About This Mod
Main file disables friendly fire damage and effects within party for most likely all spells except Shale's abilities.
Harmful spell effects are hard-coded in game scripts and I couldn't find original Shale's abilities source files to tweak them.
There is optional file which disables Shale's abilities friendly fire that I made using sources shared by DLuf in his/her Shale Talents Reworked mod. The optional file works only with Shale Talents Reworked mod by DLuf installed.
