ASHMAKER IS OUT!!
Ashmaker takes this mod to another level. It resolves many of the issues of LoA while adding a whole heap of new features like a unified summon acquisition system in throwing pots to incinerate enemies to gain ashes, spirit team battles against bosses throughout the game, new classes, a Tome of Ashes Collection tracker, custom summons, fixes for radahn and tibia, dll settings options to tweak your experience and so much more.

Completion update:
With Version 1. 5 I have implemented every feature I wanted in Lord of ashes, this includes:
-
[]Summoning anywhere
[
]Every enemy as a summon[]Ultra strong combo summons that can be earned and used for end game or ng+
[]Summon evolutions
[]Enhanced weakness and resistances and rebalances to maintain difficulty and ensure importance of decision making and problem solving

[]Arcane scaling for summon damage
Feature update:
Version 1. 4 includes over 100 bug fixes... yes you read that right, a brilliant community member named carrot bug tested every summon and gave me the list, so here we are, now every summon should work.

Those are the major things but check the articles for more details on this update.
I have also started a Kofi for anyone who wants to show thanks or support future updates, no pressure at all though, try the mod before considering whether you want to support.
