Passive Skills and Spells

Tired of recasting buff spells all the time? Then install this mod, which makes most time-based buffs into passive abilities that are always enabled.

In particular, this mod makes the skills Elemental Boon, Immolation Aura, Stormclaw, and Battle Rage passive, as well as the spells Elemental Overload, Elemental Protection, Haste, Retribution, and Draining Touch.

I didn't change Iceshield and Shadowmantle because I think that they would be quite overpowered (Iceshield can get to 125% chance to reflect missiles for example).


Other Changes

All the changed skills have no visual effects just like other passive skills.

Elemental Boon has been changed to not affect pets and other players to prevent them from getting the effect permanently, and its mana regeneration effect was halved.

Stormclaw is not limited to melee weapons any more - useful to make the single-target pistols, bows, and crossbows attack multiple enemies.

Elemental Overload's damage bonus scales with the spell level from 10% at level 1 to 35% at level 6 (the original spell had a constant 25% damage bonus and instead increased duration and cooldown with the level).

Draining Touch was buffed a lot to give 7.5 health stolen + 1% life steal per level, e.g. 45 health stolen + 6% life steal at spell level 6 (previously it gave only 33 health stolen at level 6).


Compatibility

This mod should work with all languages, except maybe not for the description of Elemental Boon which was changed to reflect the alterations made.

This mod changes the existing skills, so it is compatible with all mods that use the original skills (like Classy Classes), and it even works on existing saves (active spells will be changed to their passive variants automatically).

This mod does not bind to your save and can be safely removed at any time.
