📋 About This Mod
Default controls for magic cast is so painful. So, I made this.
At first, It is difficult to aim or it may not be cast well as desired.
But, you knows, wielding magic wand is difficult. That's the way it is.
However, once you get used to it, this method is much more comfortable.
I have played game with mouse gesture more than 20 hours and still playing with.
I'm bet you're gonna love this.
