📋 About This Mod

Additional Mage Specializations

: Each class can only have a total of 11 skill trees without the GUI breaking.  With 12 or more skill trees, the GUI breaks and all trees overlap.  If you're using a mod that adds every skill tree to each class, you will need to remove one or more of them in order to add these specializations.

If you have a question about installation or how the specs work, read the description.  It's long, but that's because it contains a lot of information.  Your question is most likely already answered there.

10/15/21 - Updated to really fix the bug that prevented quests from advancing when using Possess on the final enemy in an encounter.  Sorry for the quick updates!  Should really be fixed now, on all difficulties and at all levels.

10/14/21 - Updated to fix a bug that prevented quests from advancing when using Possess on the final enemy in an encounter.  Removed the "Charm" ability from Desire Demons temporarily for the same potential reason.  Update to the update: Desire Demon's charm is also now fixed.

8/2/21 - Updated to fix a potential issue with the cost of Spell Wisp.

6/16/21 - Updated to fix an issue with the Spirit Wolf mesh while using DX9.

6/4/21 -  Added a script to spawn three of the unique equipment items via the console (Canticle of Eskrella, Blood-Fused Crest, and Tapestry Stone) in case you missed them.  Read the included readme for the console text.

5/29/21 - Updated to fix an issue with Spell Wisp and Spirit Dance instantly replenishing mana in combat.

4/14/21 - Updated to lower the cooldowns on several of the Fade Weaver spells.

What It Does

This mod adds two new specializations for Mage characters, Summoner and Fade Weaver, along with new items and item properties to enhance and customize each specialization.

There's a lot going on in this mod, so please be sure to read the descriptions of abilities and what the new items do.

Installation

Update: I have changed the file to be addin installation only.  Place the entire "mage_specs" folder in the ZIP file in your addins folder.  That folder should be in one of the following places:

C:\...\Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age 2\addins

C:\...\Origin\Dragon Age II\addins

If you don't have an "addins" folder, you can create it and place the "mage_specs" folder into it.

Compatibility

This should be compatible with most mods.  However, I did alter a couple of base game files.  I changed the reward for Search and Rescue, and altered the Tome of the Slumbering Elders from Night T
