📋 About This Mod
--------------------
Change Log:
--------------------
- v2. 0: added all sustainables of the game (all classes + all companions)
- v1. 0: Release version - only Mage class included
--------------------
Description:
--------------------
Originally this mod was designed to halve the mana costs (reserved mana) for Mage's sustained spells/abilities to be able to use them all simultaneously because I wanted to play some sort of Battlemage/Monk.
Now I advanced the mod to cover all sustained abilities of all classes and companions based on the latest DA2 build v1. 04. Just pick the files you want to be active.
I also offer a compatability patch for the mage version if you want to use it in combination with Free Spirit Healer.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 496 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Modular design lets you tailor the change to just your class or party.
- Simple, direct effect—no complex mechanics to learn.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so may not be compatible with newer patches or DLC.

For Dragon Age 2 players who find sustained abilities too costly and want a straightforward resource management tweak. Also for those who want to customize which classes get the buff. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive overhaul or play on a version newer than 1.04.

- If you use other gameplay mods, test in a saved game to ensure costs are as expected.
