About this mod
Personal use mod I decided to create and later publish as I couldn't find one that would fit my taste.
I strived to keep vanilla balance and feel while making more weapons, spells and skills viable.
- Permissions and credits
The mod is intended for offline play and may result in a ban if used online.
Game Version 1.16
All changes included in the current update are documented below. For details on older updates, please refer to the Articles section.
For versions 1.0.0 to 1.5.0, the change logs contain all changes present in those versions.
Going forward, new change logs will include only the changes introduced in their respective patch numbers.

Mod Version 1.7.2
Bug Fix:
SpEffect [Standard VFX] Endure Lite III - Heavy, added for compatibility with my other mod Might and Magic, had an error causing it to use more FP than intended.
New Changes:
War Cry, Barbaric Roar, Braggart's Roar, Shriek of Milos, and Regal Roar now boost all damage types and work on spells.
I find the idea of a berserking battle mage quite compelling, and it's definitely not overpowered considering roar buffs cost FP, are time-limited,
and are in the 7.5-10% range, whereas catalyst bonuses are in the 10-30% range.
Braggart's Roar can now be found in one of the cells in Gaol Cave (in place of the Stonesword Key).
I hate the idea of killing Boggart. Also, he mentions that he was locked up with Dungeater in the same gaol,
so I thought this would be a fitting place, it could be this one.
Mod Version 1.7.1
Updated descriptions of Meteorite Staff and Frozen Lightning Spear.
If you play without the DLC and have a moment to check, please let me know if the description in your game matches the last two screenshots added to the 'Images' section.
Mod Version 1.7.0
I'm aware that the changes in this update may be more divisive than usual, so let me briefly explain how I came to these decisions.
I was never really happy with how FromSoft handled lightning in Elden Ring. While I understand that it can be associated with speed (DEX),
it always struck me as an awkward default choice. I believe that the main scaling of an element should depend on how you access it.
I've long considered making red lightning scale with Arcane, but I worried that, under above logic,
everything in the game could theoretically scale with Arcane, which would obviously be terrible for balance.
Instead, I settled on Faith scaling for red lightning to distinguish it from the dragon communion approach to accessing draconic powers.
Red lightning is drawn from veneration and rapport, whereas dragon communion is about forcibly claiming power.
Blue lightning, on the other hand, is an artificial creation of scholars from the Eternal Cities, so it makes sense for it to scale with Intelligence.

I was never really happy with how FromSoft handled lightning in Elden Ring. While I understand that it can be associated with speed (DEX),
it always struck me as an awkward default choice. I believe that the main scaling of an element should depend on how you access it.
- Intelligence corresponds to a scientific study of the element.
- Faith represents veneration or an intuitive understanding, building rapport with the idea.
- Arcane would be more like "hacking"—accessing power that should be completely alien or unintended for the character.
I've long considered making red lightning scale with Arcane, but I worried that, under above logic,
everything in the game could theoretically scale with Arcane, which would obviously be terrible for balance.
