📋 About This Mod

Hi there fellow witchers!

The mod aims overall better experience for my favourite sign, Igni. both cone & firestream.

More narrow look of firestream, less particle, no wind influence, extended attack range, more particles on igni cone.

Overall better and more orange-ish igni color.

The look of igni depends very well on the lighting mod you're using. Bloom is the key in the lighting. Not just for the igni but every fire effects & the lightsources.

* - For the best results, i highly recommend turn to Bloom option set ON.

Key Features;

- Identical 2014 E3 demo & Sword of Destiny trailer style Igni Firestream!

- Extended attack range. You'll notice it during combat. So the firestream reaches farther than the vanilla distance.

- Better igni firestream relavite position.

- No igni firestream smoke.

- The brightness tint while casting both igni cone (also known as igni bloom) & firestream has been reduced & recolored to reddish tone.

- No wind influence. (removed from both igni cone & firestream)

- Less particle on igni firestream fx to make it look more narrow.

- Overall better, a bit more saturated orange-reddish color.
