MESSAGE FROM MOD AUTHOR: If you like this mod, please try out my Old Dogg's Moderately-Sized Spell and Equipment Overhaul, as it comes with all of the changes from this included.


This mod simply increases the maximum range of most of the ranged spells, weapon skills, and throwing weapons in the game. This is accomplished by changing the duration/lifetime of their projectiles/bullets, besides for certain ones that project a field of damage that does continuous damage the longer it exists near an enemy, such as Swarm of Flies and Gravitational Missile, which have their velocity modified, in order to avoid affecting their total damage output.

I have not tested this mod on a game install without the DLC, so I have no idea if it'll work for those without Shadow of the Erdtree. If it doesn't, report it in the comments and I'll cook up a version without any of the DLC content in it.

If I've missed anything or you have feedback regarding the balance of this mod, please post it in the comments below. Would love to hear how I could improve this.

Sorceries:
Adula's Moonblade 1.5x (Similar situation to Black Blade. 4 sets of 2 projectiles each, with each set being identical to the other 3. They appear to be tied to each stage of the chain cast, as you can cast this repeatedly with a slightly different animation/angle for the projectile.)
Ancient Death Rancor 1.75x
Briars of Punishment 1.15x
Collapsing Stars 1.5x
Comet 1.75x
Comet Azur 1.5x
Crystal Torrent 1.25x
Glintstone Arc 1.5x
Glintstone Cometshard 1.75x
Glintstone Icecrag 2x
Glintstone Pebble 1.5x
Glintstone Stars 1.5x
Gravity Well 1.75x
Great Glintstone Shard 1.5x
Loretta's Greatbow 2x
Loretta's Mastery 2x
Magic Downpour 1.25x
Magic Glintblade 1.5x
Magma Shot 2x
Night Comet 1.33x
Night Shard 1.33x
Rancorcall 1.75x
Ranni's Dark Moon 1.15x
Rennala's Full Moon 1.15x
Roiling Magma 3x
Star Shower 1.5x
Stars of Ruin 1.5x
Swift Glintstone Shard 1.5x

DLC Sorceries:
Fleeting Microcosm 1.5x (Velocity modified instead of duration.)
Glintblade Trio 1.5x
Glintstone Nail 1.5x (These ones are a bit weird. Glintstone Nail and Glintstone Nails have their velocity modified instead of bullet duration, as these spells are composed of a series of projectiles that accelerate rapidly over the course of 200ms, then stop in place for 200ms to correct their homing capabilities, then accelerate again to a slightly higher speed than the previous moving projectile, with a total of 6 moving projectiles and 5 still ones per cast. Changing the duration would've negatively impacted their homing capability. However, their effective range may be higher than 1.5x base, due to the complicated nature of projectile physics in-game.)
Glintstone Nails 1.5x
Gravitational Missile 1.25x (Velocity modified instead of duration.)
Rings of Spectral Light 1.5x


NOTE regarding the "fireball" type of spell (Flame Sling, Giantsflame Take Thee, Flame Fall Upon Them, Black Flame, Stone of Gurranq, Magma Shot, Roiling Magma, and also Bloodboon as it has a similar relation to gravity): Their effective max range when cast with lock-on enabled isn't actually increased due to the fact that they're thrown at an arc and fall due to gravity, rather than flying in a straight line like most spells. However, they now fly for longer without vanishing before hitting the ground, so if you free-aim them by looking up before throwing them, you can use them as magical artillery, like Cannon of Haima or Flame Spit from the One-Eyed Shield.


Incantations:
Aspects of the Crucible: Breath 1.33x
Beast Claw 1.25x
Bestial Sling 1.33x
Black Blade 1.5x (This one is a bit weird because for some reason it has 4 IDs for the initial projectile and 4 for the explosion, and they're all identical. I just set them all to 1.5 times normal.)
Black Flame 2x
Bloodboon 3x (The spread of the projectiles makes this not very useful at long range. For best results, free-aim it slightly above the target you're trying to hit.)
Discus of Light 1.25x
Elden Stars 1.5x
Flame Sling 2x
Flame of the Fell God 4.5x
Flame, Fall Upon Them 3x
Frenzied Burst 2x
Frozen Lightning Spear 1.25x (This spell has a bunch of different bullets assigned to it, each with different amounts of duration and velocity, and changing some of them too much would make it turn harshly to the right or the left when cast. Modifying it without changing how it functions was extremely difficult. Check screenshots for before and after.)
Giantsflame Take Thee 2x
Gurranq's Beast Claw 1.25x
Honed Bolt 1.5x (Velocity modified instead of duration in order to not affect how long it takes for the lightning bolt to strike from the moment of casting.)
Lansseax's Glaive 1.25x (Range modification is an approximation due to the strange way in which this spell functions. Check screenshots for before and after.)
Lightning Spear 4x
Lightning Strike 1.5x (Velocity modified. This one is hardly noticeable, but it's a close-range spell anyway. Increasing it further would cause the lightning bolts to spread out too much and reduce its effectiveness.)
Litany of Proper Death 1.5x
O, Flame! Uncharged 3.5x (Its hit/explosion radius has been increased, which may also result in it being able to hit multiple enemies more easily if they're close together.)
O, Flame! Charged 4.5x (Its hit/explosion radius has been increased, which may also result in it being able to hit multiple enemies more easily if they're close together.)
Pest Threads 1.75x
Placidusax's Ruin 3x
Radagon's Rings of Light 1.3x
Shadow Bait 5x (You can lob this greater distances by aiming up.)
Stone of Gurranq 2x
Surge O Flame 1.33x
Swarm of Flies 1.25x (This one has its velocity modified instead of its projectile duration like most of the others, as it does constant damage and status build-up so long as it is near a target, and increasing its duration would've increased its damage as well.)


DLC Incantations:
Aspects of the Crucible: Thorns 2x
Divine Beast Tornado 2x
Divine Bird Feathers 2x
Fire Serpent 1.75x
Giant Golden Arc 1.5x
Golden Arcs 1.5x
Knight's Lightning Spear 4x
Land of Shadow 2x (One of the spells that inspired me to make this mod. It's a "long-range" spell for which the projectiles expire RIGHT BEFORE they hit the target at max lock-on range.)
Multilayered Ring of Light 1.33x
Pest-Thread Spears 1.33x
Spira 1.75x (Velocity is changed rather than projectile duration, which may make the spell harder to dodge, albeit it has a rather long cast time so you're unlikely to hit fast enemies with it.)
Watchful Spirit 1.5x
Wrath From Afar 1.5x


Weapon skills (Ash of War):
Glintstone Pebble 1.25x
Ice Spear 1.33x
Sacred Blade 1.33x

Storm Blade 1.15x
Thunderbolt 1.33x
Vacuum Slice 1.33x
White Shadow's Lure 3.5x

DLC Weapon skills (Ash of War):
Piercing Throw 1.5x
All Throwing Weapons (Claws of Night, Golem Fist, Smithscript Axe, Smithscript Cirque, Smithscript Dagger, Smithscript Greathammer, Smithscript Shield, Smithscript Spear, Spear of the Impaler) have had their velocity increased by around 2x to 3x, making them more useful at range.


Unique weapon skills:
Ancient Lightning Spear (Bolt of Gransax) 4x
Blade of Death (Black Knife) 1.25x
Blade of Gold (Blade of Calling) 1.25x
Corpse Wax Cutter (Gargoyle's Blackblade) 1.33x

Dragonwound Slash (Dragon Hunter's Great Katana) 1.5x
Flower Dragonbolt (Flowerstone Gavel) 1.33x
Jori's Inquisition (Barbed Staff-Spear) 1.5x (Note: Despite the extra range, almost none of the projectiles will hit targets that aren't very large from half of max range onwards due to the innate spread between each projectile. This is very much a close range weapon skill.)
Kowtower's Resentment (Gazing Finger) 1.25x
Moon-and-Fire Stance, Moon (Rellana's Twin Blades) 2x
Needle Piercer (Leda's Sword) 1.33x
