📋 About This Mod
Version 1. 16 of the mod has just been released for use with Elden Ring version 1. 16/SotE.
Sorry for the long delay, NGL I haven't played Elden Ring in years and forgot how to use smithbox for a while.
The mod has been updated for Shadow of the Erdtree, I will be adding more spells in the future.
DICLAIMER: I have encountered an issue with the current version of Smithbox, you may need to download Smithbox yourself and "update" the mod to the latest version. I have updated the mod myself and posted it, however I have seen an issue that causes the version number of the regulation.bin to still be "out of date", and you will have to reupdate/rexport the changes yourself, though the regulation itself IS actually up to date, it will simply not work until you click Smithbox's "auto param update". Unsure what the source of this problem is, please let me know if you encounter it your self.
The mod will be receiving post-SotE updates in the future, new bullets and effects means new spells.
Huge thanks to Cleverraptor6 for keeping an archive of old default regulation.bins.
-NEW Ultimate Spell rework added: Ancient Dragon's Lightning Spear now summons Placidusax's giant lightning explosion and can be thrown. Costs/stat requirements adjusted.
-Fortisaxx's Lightning Spear: Can now be thrown.
-Freezing Mist Rework: Now summons Ice Storm on uncharged and charged versions. Is getting another mini-rework next update.
-Crystal Burst Rework: Completely reworked spell, charged version sends crystal arcs that explode, uncharged creates an energy crystal that explodes.

Hello,
I am Castle Whale, I have been creating some custom spells for Elden Ring for my seamless Co-op DND playthrough. What started as Quality of Life changes quickly got out of hand and became custom spells such as these. I've had quite a bit of fun with them and hope you will too!
I'm trying to rebalance the game around the player also being able to feel powerful, but without being explicitly OP beyond the reach of what's possible in vanilla. My spell overhauls are meant to bring most spell classes more or less in line with your average bleed build. Extremely powerful, but not quite easy mode powerful. Cool Magic should look cool and also feel good to use and I don't feel From quite hit that mar

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 386 endorsements and over 18k downloads.
- Actively maintained—last updated January 2026, so likely compatible with current patch.
- Aims to make spellcasting feel more thematic and class-appropriate, which is a big plus for roleplayers.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is cut off mid-sentence, leaving future plans unclear.
- No detailed list of which spells are changed or how—you'll have to test in-game.
- May conflict with other spell overhaul mods; no compatibility notes provided.
For players who want their spellcaster to feel more true to their class fantasy, with spells that hit harder or have cooler effects. If you're tired of vanilla spells feeling samey, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer minimal changes or use other spell overhauls that might clash.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version matches 1.15—if not, the mod may not work.
- Make a backup of your save before installing, just in case spell changes break something.
