      Put circlet on top

      You can equip circlet without it taking an equipment helmet slot. It works with EAQS. The original helmet will stay and circlet will not provide armor and stats.

      You can disable that feature and circlet will always be visible instead of helmet.

      You can configure with what helmet circet will be visible. Currently only troll leather helmet looks fine and it's enabled by default.

      Circlet uses its own slot and custom item type. If you want Circlet to take utility slot you can set 18 in `Slot type` config.

      Overload

      Blind your opponents with a bright flash at the cost of some circlet durability.

      The flash only affects enemies if their head is in the light cone. Also all the enemies next to you will be affected.

      Blinded enemy will be staggered so you will have a chance to get a critical blow.

      After each overload the circlet durability will be damaged a little. Overloaded circlet will take some time to restore its power.

      Demister

      Spawn/despawn the wisplight at will. It's basically controllable wisplight with the utility slot freed for megingjord.

      Compatibility

      The mod most likely will not work with others circlet altering mods

      []The mod is incompatible with ImprovedDvergerCirclet due to the same nature of the light controller

      []The mod is incompatible with Circlet Demister due to demister cross functioning
