📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 757 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads.
  • Instant casting feels snappy and makes combat more fluid.
  • Simple concept that does exactly what it says.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects some spells in the other schools, so coverage is uneven.
  • Last updated in 2018, so it may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game versions.
  • Removing casting animations can break visual feedback and may feel overpowered for some players.
🎯 Is This For You?
