📋 About This Mod
Description
In vanilla, basic casts deals very small damage for the first 3 hits and large damage on the fourth one. I want to change that behavior so that each hit deals the same amount of damage without the need to combo them between spells.
Changes
- remove basic casts combo damage multifier to flatten the damage curve. All basic casts now deal the same damage.
- Offered alternative versions to boost damage of every basic casts.

Special thanks to BannerAD and the mod I based this one on Consistent Basic Cast. Unfortunately, his mod is "old" and was provoking some instability as well as freezing some missions in my playthrough, so I decided to create a new one with current game versions.
Unified Basic Casts rebalances basic spell casts in vanilla so each hit deals consistent damage instead of the vanilla pattern of three weak hits followed by a strong fourth. This is a simple gameplay tweak for players who want predictable damage without combo reliance. With 65 endorsements and 3,108 downloads, it's a niche but functional mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Straightforward fix for a common annoyance—no more weak filler hits
- Decent community traction (65 endorsements, 3,108 downloads) shows it works for others
- Lightweight mod that does exactly what it says without bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated December 2023—may not be compatible with future game patches
- Only affects basic casts; doesn't address other spell balance issues
For players who find the vanilla basic cast damage pattern frustrating and want consistent damage output without worrying about combo timing. Skip if you enjoy the strategic depth of the four-hit combo or prefer more comprehensive spell overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
