Alcardian's Long Spells

Description

Alcardian's Long Spells

A small spell mod that increases spell duration & adds some smaller changes

Features:

• Changed duration on most buffs & summons to 3600 seconds (1h).
• Charm duration set to 900 seconds (15 min).
• Added "updates_on_transformed = false;" to non-LOA buffs to prevent spell from playing its effects on transformed creatures. Same as non-modded/unchanged LOA buffs have.
• Increased XP from "Healing Wind" to better match "Battle Healing"

Notes:

Remember that there is an Unsummon (default keybind: U) & Untransform (default keybind: Y) action, check keybinds ingame. Can be useful if summon gets stuck or you want to exit transformation early.

Requirements:

Only host in multiplayer needs the mod for it to be enabled. Mod doesn't break compatibility with non-modded game clients.

Installation instructions:

• Unzip Alcardian_LongSpells_<ds/dsloa>.zip
• Copy Alcardian_LongSpells_<ds/dsloa>.dsres to Resources folder
