📋 About This Mod
There are a number of Mage spells and upgrades which I feel are a bit weak, mostly with regards to the probability their effects trigger on enemies. Thus, most of the changes in this mod increase the probability of \"chance to trigger\" effects, but also include a few slight changes to damage, durations and cooldowns.
If you wish to use this mod with my other mod, Ability Restrictions Removal, there is a version that contains both sets of changes in the same abi_base.gda file.
If you have any problems or would like to give feedback on my changes, please do leave a comment.
Extract abi_base.gda (and abi_seb.gda if you are using the combined version) into:
