Miscast Mod - SFO Edition

Description
Miscast Mod - SFO Edition
Miscasts will no longer be the forgotten mechanic you scroll past on character screens, or only notice in fine-tooth combed reviews of battle replays. Out from underneath the hood and on to centre stage, Miscast Mod - SFO Edition gives miscasts:
  • Huge swirling lightshows
  • Detonation effects to ragdoll the mage and surrounding units
  • Miscast damage now tiers to the mana expenditure of the spell:
    • High 18+ mana spells: 32 HP damage per entity, 16 non-AP plus 16 AP.
    • Mid 12-17 mana spells: 16 HP damage per entity, 8 non-AP plus 8 AP.
    • Low 0-12 mana spells: 8 HP damage per entity, 4 non-AP plus 4 AP.
  • Terrain scorch effects
  • Applies a 20 second contact effect (with unit and banner vfx) to the mage and other victims of the magic energy discharge, stumbling around blindly as Surge Struck
  • For Greenskins, instead the Madness of Mork (or Gork), a 20 second contact effect mini-waaagh rampage of greentide surge
  • For Dwarf rune magic miscasts, a new Petrification contact effect as Dwarven spell dabblers turn to stone. Adds rock hard 20% physical resistance and immunity to psychology, at the cost of losing their 35% magic resistance, slowing affected units by 80%, and a small fatigue malus, for 20 seconds.
  • 20 second cooldown on all spells and abilities for anyone contacted by the miscast explosion. Because of vanilla limitations missile spells will only have a 20 second recharge delay added.

    Miscast Damage Tiers to SFO Mana Expenditure of Spell
    This edition of Miscast Mod includes SFO's spell changes to enable tiered miscast damage to spell mana cost:
    • High 18+ mana spells: 32 HP damage per entity, 16 non-AP plus 16 AP.
    • Mid 12-17 mana spells: 16 HP damage per entity, 8 non-AP plus 8 AP.
    • Low 0-12 mana spells: 8 HP damage per entity, 4 non-AP plus 4 AP.

    Note the mana tier is based on the base mana in the spell tables, not the actual mana used in battle as affected by character skills, technologies, or items. Low and mid tier has some crossover at 12 mana based on spell cast up times.

    The vanilla detonation damage applied to the immediate tiny radius around the mage of 588 HP (288 non-AP + 300 AP) is removed in favour of a dramatic large radius detonation intended to hit and ragdoll more unit entities with the mild damage listed above.

    Some spells and abilities have a unique miscast effect, usually reversing the spells HP or stat effect. Those miscasts are left as is and not changed by this mod. They include Soul Stealer, Rebirth, Doppelgang, Reaper of Souls, Mislead, The Amber Trance, The Daemons Curse, Heroic Fortitude, and Stay Here I'll Get Help.

If interested, I do maintain an updated version that is safe to use with SFO:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2894496919

Key differences being:
-Miscast debuff now only affects units that are friendly to the caster thus enemy units are not impacted
-Removed damage dealt by miscasts so no more mage nuking in enemy units/armies
-Slightly stronger and longer lasting debuff

Now there are *no* benefits to miscasts, and thus you must be much more careful with it and actually put points into miscast chance reduction

So this is of course a well needed mod and I like the explosion and damage, but I find the malus on units too punishing (especially when the AI casts it's stupid spells while in the fray, even my units are struck with the debuff oO)

Is there a chance to have a version with only explosion damage for units while keeping the malus for the caster ?
BladeofSharpness Jul 24, 2023 @ 8:17am 
Yes, still working, except for the localized texts which are not. But you get the rest.
