💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an OpenMW mod, make sure you're using the OpenMW engine, not the original Morrowind executable.
- Check the OpenMW Spell API documentation to understand how to integrate custom spells with this framework.
- Test your custom spells in a separate save to avoid breaking your main playthrough.
