📋 About This Mod

Another Skillset/Vocation because playing with SkillMaker is more fun than playing the game...

Thanks again to alphaZomega the absolute madman.

Fluffy Mod Manager (Recommended)

Install SkillMaker and all its dependencies

Drag and drop Archmage.zip into Fluffy Mod Manager

Select the Archmage Skillset in SkillMaker, checkbox 'Clear Skills on Load' and 'Load with Controls'

SkillMaker Settings:

A Minimum of 59 'Max Skills' required, make sure to load controls with the skillset and set modifier to LB.

!!Animation Fix!!

Some skills in this vocation use custom motions on-top of base game animations and won't work until the original animation is played.

Archmage\FixTest will play each animation and should solve the animation issues, but will need to be used on every character reload (death/game reload) so it is advised to have it on an input that can be used semi frequently without affecting normal gameplay.

Latest Update now compatible with base game mappings! Thanks to yoshisman8 and Nickesponja

Make sure Quickspell/QuickspellDodge inside Skillmaker is set to the same button as your modifier, for me that is LB.

I personally dislike using bumpers too much so have swapped my Grab button to RB (Vocation Action RT) and Switch Weapon Skill to LT (Sheathe/Draw LB)

Recommended/Required Mods:

Custom Difficulty Tweaks: Enemies die too quickly without adjusting health/damage taken

Lock-On Combat with Dodge: Many useful tools, but specifically changing camera distance and freeing up a button (Right Joystick Click) by disabling Camera Reset.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds a new Archmage vocation to the game, letting players wield a variety of elemental spells to dominate foes. A compact gameplay mod with 43 endorsements and 5,680 downloads, last updated June 2025.

✨ Key Features

Adds a new Archmage vocation to the game.
Provides a plethora of spells to dominate foes with the elements.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Decent download count (5,680) shows some interest, though endorsements are modest (43).
  • Adds a whole new vocation, which is a big deal for players wanting fresh gameplay.
  • Elemental spell focus gives a clear fantasy archetype for mage lovers.

⚠️ Cons

  • Low endorsement-to-download ratio (43/5,680) suggests many users didn't stick with it.
  • No details on spell variety or balance, so you might get a shallow experience.
  • Potential compatibility issues with other gameplay overhauls that modify vocations or spells.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who want a new mage class with elemental spells and don't mind a bit of uncertainty. If you're a completionist or love deep spell trees, this might feel thin. Skip if you prefer polished, well-documented overhauls.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the mod requires a new game or works with existing saves, as vocation mods often need a fresh start.
  • If you use other gameplay mods, load this one after them to avoid conflicts.
  • Test the Archmage in a low-stakes area first to see how the spells feel.
