📋 About This Mod
Standalone MBSP with additional features
Recommended to be used with Uncapper and Improved Vanilla Leveling
Features:
-
[]Effective Spell Cost Reduction
Allows refunding magicka before the spell is cast, effectively turning the refunding into a magicka cost reduction (Note: it may be called experimental but should be safe to turn on)
[]Increased Spell Costs
This mechanic can be used to make spells more expensive (Making spells fail immediately due to insufficient magicka)
[]
XP Gains based on spell cost
No more spamming 1 cost spells. The Base XP are halved and the rest depends on how much magicka you spend
[]
Very customizable formulas
The formulas are very flexible and should be able to cover all preferences
[]
Always uses the correct spell costs
Manually calculates the spell costs because the api can sometimes hold a wrong value
[]
No Exploits or Glitches
Changing the spell mid-cast won't change what is used for the calculation
[]
Magic Window Integration
When using the experimental refund mode, shows the adjusted costs and chances on the Magic Window Extender
[]
API for Modders
[/][]Lets you check what the next refund for the currently equipped spell will be, as seen with Roguelite's "Arcane Brute Force" and Pure Lua Multi Mark
Installation: (Using the OpenMW Launcher)
Extract the folder somewhere and add it to your content list
