📋 About This Mod
+ DETAILS +
Reduce cooldown and duration of the runes' active effects and make them more impactful during combat. All runes had their cooldown reduced to 10 seconds. And almost all effect durations were increased to 60 seconds where it made sense from a quality of life standpoint, without them breaking or making the game even more unbalanced.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tightens rune uptime so you're not waiting around for cooldowns.
- Small, focused tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole combat system.
- Decent community traction for a niche mod (111 endorsements).
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated March 2025—might not be compatible with future game patches.
- Only affects rune cooldowns and durations; if you wanted more, this won't deliver.
For players who find rune cooldowns too long and want to use their active effects more often in combat. Skip if you're looking for broader gameplay overhauls or if you're fine with the default rune pacing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager or manual installation—author didn't specify, so read the file structure.
- If you're on a version newer than March 2025, test in a save you don't mind losing in case of conflicts.
- Pair with other combat tweaks to see how the reduced cooldowns feel in practice.
