Bardez Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Introducing Caster Crafting A mod for all your casters' crafting desires Hello, there! I'm Bardez. You may remember me from such mods as "Thalantyr Item Upgrade Mod Extensions" and "Baldur's Gate Trilogy". Well, I'm here to introduce my latest creation: Caster Crafting, a mod for BG:EE, BG2:EE, and IWD:EE Currently in a stable beta, Caster Crafting allows you to: Scribe Scrolls Protection Scrolls Priest Scrolls even Quest Spells Arcane Scrolls even Level 10 Spells Create caster-leveled scrolls Brew Potions Base-game potions New potions based off of existing spells Copy Spells between arcane spell book casters Mages Bards ... and more planned features Yes, finally, a use for all that gold, aside from tossing some of it towards saving Imoen! Caster Crafting will allow the player to share that one rare spell amongst all the mages and bards (looking at you, Icewind Dale); allow clerics to stock up on healing supplies; ready fighters with Stoneskin; brew all the fireball flasks; and much, much more. With the right install options, this mod will install many new potions (95+), scrolls (looking at you, Priest spells!), and add two items that drive the crafting to spell shops near you. There's even a component for installing leveled-effect scrolls, letting you spend like crazy to abuse Spell 50. The mod currently integrates with and supports two common spell addition mods: IWDification OlvynSpells and I'm planning to support more. I spent the past few days writing up somewhat extensive documentation, so feel free to poke around, read the recipes and the overall manifesto (kidding). So... some examples: cheat off of your friend's notes hoard beefy spells for a rainy day navigate menus scribe some scrolls scribe all the scrolls brew a potion ... maybe get carried away As I stated, Caster Crafting is in a fairly stable beta state, and since some components are big, I'm looking for people to test it out, give feedback, and see what works and what can be improved. Future Plans: Leveled Potions Wands Leveled Wands Oils (think 3E weapon salves) ... Staves? Download it today Disclaimer: some of the art assets are modified from generative AI, which I know some people have feelings about. Quote Link to comment
Grammarsalad Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The ability to "copy a spell from a companion's spellbook is especially cool, imo Quote Link to comment
Incrementis Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm a little late, but I still want to congratulate you. It was fun to see some of your work on Discord. I also really like the detailed documentation (including videos and images) as it helps me understand your work a little better. Quote Link to comment
