Spell IDS name: WIZARD_INVISIBILITY_10_FOOT (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: None

Lightning Bolt – Changes the spell, Lightning Bolt. The original version of Lightning Bolt does not allow you to affect creatures between you and the target – the bolt only started after the target was hit while the bolt graphic was starting from you. This changes this; anyone standing between you and the target will get hit, enabling to hit creatures close to you with higher accuracy.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_LIGHTNING_BOLT (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI308.spl

Minor Malison and Greater Malison – Changes the spell Greater Malison and installs the new spell, Minor Malison. Rather than inflicting a -4 penalty to saving throws, Greater Malison inflicts a -2 penalty to saving throws, but increases the damage suffered by 2 hitpoints per die. This means a character will suffer 8 more points of damage caused by a 4D10 meteor from a Meteor Swarm. Minor Malison is a lesser 3rd level version of Greater Malison that inflicts -1 penalties to saving throws and damage rolls per die. The spells stack with each other but not with themselves. A dispel magic or a remove curse does away with both spells.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_GREATER_MALISON (as per vanilla), WIZARD_MINOR_MALISON

Files overridden: SPWI412.spl

Vampiric Touch – Changes the spell Vampiric Touch. The caster only gains hitpoints if the spell goes through the target's magic resistance and has a life force in the first place. Bonus hit pointa gained by the caster are not cumulative, although the caster may repeatedly cast the spell to heal himself. Furthermore, the spell requires a successful melee attack within 1 turn of the casting (made at a +4 bonus).

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_VAMPIRIC_TOUCH (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI314.spl

Wraithform – Installs the new spell, Wriahtform. The caster makes himself incorporeal with respect to physical attacks. At 5th level, she is immune to normal weapons, at 10th level to +1 weapons and so on. The caster may not make any physical attacks or affect creatures with spells, and less intelligent forms of undead ignore her. The wraithform changes the caster's race to MIST in terms of what other SpellPack spells will affect her. For example, she can walk through a web spell without hindurance, since the web spell is keyed not to affect incorporeal creatures through race sensitive effects. The caster may end the spell at will through the innate abilities button.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_WRAITH_FORM (as per the usused vanilla ID), WIZARD_WRAITH_FORM_END

Confusion (Wizard and Priest) – see details of this component under level 7 priest spells.

Dimension Door – Restores the new spell, Dimension Door, changes Phase Spider Teleport, and patches all teleport spells in the game to disrupt targeting by hostile creatures (as if they turned invisible for a split second). The spell becomes useful, in that it can be cast outside the line of sight of the caster, but at the same time fails if you try to cast it over a solid barrier. The AI is exempt from this restriction. The spell makes a change to Phase Spider Teleport so it casts and teleports instantly.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_DIMENSION_DOOR (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI402.spl

Ice Storm – Changes the spell, Ice Storm. The spell affects a smaller area of effect for 2 rounds, but for 10D3 points of damage. This component is recommended with p5Tweaks to prevent valuable loot from being destroyed when a creature freezes to death.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_ICE_STORM (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI404.spl

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_IMPROVED_INVISIBILITY (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI405.spl

Otiluke's Resilient Sphere – Changes the spell, Otiluke's Resilient Sphere. The sphere can be centered on willing creatures (allies) without worrying about saving throws or magic resistance. Creatures inside the sphere can still move around at a crawling pace. If you have this component and the disintegrate component installed, you may use the disintegrate spell to destroy the resilient sphere around the creature.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_OTILUKES_RESILIENT_SPHERE (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI413.spl

Shout – Installs the new spell, Shout. This spell causes damage and deafness in a cone-shaped area of effect. Golems and mineral-based creatures are vulnerable to this spell.

Files overridden: None, unless another mod introduces an identical spell (the spell uses the same IDS name)

Wizard Eye – Changes the mechanics of the spell, Wizard Eye. The spell requires a small amount of concentration from the caster. He may still cast spells and engage in combat, but if he is disabled or a successful dispel magic is cast on the eye or the caster, the spell ends.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_EYE (as per vanilla)

Animate Dead (Wizard and Priest) – see Level 3 priest spells for more details.

Files overridden: SPWI502.spl

Cone of Cold – Changes the spell, Cone of Cold. The cone has a longer and narrower area of effect, the damage is capped at 15D4+15, and uses the Icewind Dale graphics. Installing this component will make a cosmetic change to the winter wolf's ice breath attack.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_CONE_OF_COLD (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI503.spl, SPCCOLDL.bam

Domination – Changes the spell, Domination. The duration is extended indefinitely – the creature affected rolls a saving throw each day to shake off the effects of the spell.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_DOMINATION (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI506.spl

Invulnerability to Normal Weapons and Invulnerability to Magical Weapons – Changes and renames the spells Protection from Normal and Magical Weapons. Protection from magical weapons lasts 1 round/4 levels and has a casting time of 3. Otherwise, the only other change is that both play an overlay, and casting one of them dispels the other instead of one preventing the other being cast.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_PROTECTION_FROM_NORMAL_WEAPONS, PROTECTION_FROM_MAGIC_WEAPONS (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI511.spl, SPWI611.spl

Lower Resistance – Changes the spell, Lower Resistance. The resistance lowered is 30% + 1% per level, but the spell can be resisted by magic resistance at half its normal value.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_LOWER_RESISTANCE (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI514.spl

Shadow Door – Changes the spell, Shadow Door. The caster creates a door through which he disappears, invisible. Creatures pursuing the caster are fooled into entering the door, and disappear for 1D4 rounds. The door stays there for 1 round, and the wizard remains invisible for 1 round/level.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_SHADOW_DOOR (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI505.spl

Shroud of Flame – Installs the new spell, Shroud of Flame. This spell ignites one creature, who receives a saving to snuff the flames out the next round. What makes this spell dangerous is the ability to spread to other creatures – if creatures near an immolated creature fail their saving throws, they suffer the full force of the spell.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_SHROUD_OF_FLAME

Files overridden: None, unless another mod introduces an identical spell (the spell uses the same IDS name)

Level 6 spells

Chain Lightning – Changes the spell, Chain Lightning and makes a graphical tweak to the spell. This spell causes an initial damage to one creature, and splits to cause half damage to hostile creatures within 30 feet of the initial creature. What makes this spell dangerous is that the lightning chain splits even further, affecting creatures within 15 feet of the creatures affected by the first split – it is entirely possible for a creature to be hit more multiple times if there are many creatures around.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_CHAIN_LIGHTNING (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI615.spl, SPCHLGT1.bam, SPCHLGT2.bam, SPCHLGT3.bam

Death Fog – Changes the spell, Death Fog. This spell creates a fog so dense that most creatures would take a turn to cross. The damage doubles for each round of exposure – from 1 to 2 to 4 up to 8 for the remaining rounds spent in the fog. The fog limits vision as if the creatures were blinded, and conceals them from those outside the fog.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_DEATH_FOG (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI614.spl

Death Spell – Changes the spell, Death Spell. The spell affects creatures in a large radius, but there is a limit to how many creatures it can kill. Death Spell kills summoned creatures as if they had half their normal hit dice.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_DEATH_SPELL (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI605.spl

Disintegrate – Changes the spell, Disintegrate. The spell no longer destroys loot, and characters killed may be resurrected by the Resurrection spell (but not by a Raise Dead spell). Creatures have bonuses and penalties to their saving throws against dodging the ray based on their size. The disintegrate spell uses IWD graphics. If you have this component and the Otiluke's Resilient Sphere component installed, you may use the disintegrate spell to destroy the resilient sphere around the creature.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_DISINTEGRATE (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI616.spl, SPDUSTY2.bam, SPDUSTY2.vvc

Improved Slow – Introduces the spell, Improved Slow, requires the component "Haste and Slow". This is more powerful than its third level variant; the spell reduces attack and movement rates to one-fourth, suffer a +8 AC penalty to ranged attacks, and can automatically be hit by melee attacks. The spell is harder to resist; the saving throw is rolled at a -6 penalty.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_IMPROVED_SLOW

Files overridden: None, unless another mod introduces an identical spell (the spell uses the same IDS name)

Mislead – Changes the spell, Mislead. The caster is bumped to a random location within 10 feet, the clone takes the caster's place. The change is harder to notice.

Guardian Mantle – Installs the new spell, Guardian Mantle. The spell grants invulnerability to +3 weapons and lower for 1 turn + 1 round/level.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_MASS_INVISIBILITY (as per vanilla)

Mordenkainen's Sword – Changes the spell Mordenkainen's Sword. Rather than creating a flying sword, the caster wields the sword at a THAC0 of a fighter one half his level. The sword inflicts 5D6 points of damage instead of 5D4+4 points of damage, but strikes as a +3 weapon rather than as a +5 weapon.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_MORDENKAINENS_SWORD (as per vanilla)

Prismatic Spray – Changes the spell Prismatic Spray. The area of effect is narrowed down and lengthened; you may target moving creatures with this spell. As intended by the spell description, a creature has a chance of being hit by two rays. The blue ray causes insanity instead of feeblemindness (which can be cured by a Heal spell), and the violet ray imprisons rather than disintegrates. The blindness has a random, 2D4 round duration instead of a fixed 5 rounds. The spell is also given Icewind Dale graphics.

Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting – Changes the spell Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting. The damage is capped at 16D8 for most creatures, and 16D10 for water-based creatures (slimes, kuo-toa, etc.). Undead, and creatures that have no moisture (Golems, Earth Elementals, etc.) do not take damage. There is no way to resist the damage short of a Spell Immunity Necromancy. The spell is also given Icewind Dale graphics.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_ABI_DALZIMS_HORRID_WILTING (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI812.spl

Deathbolt (SPWI821) – Installs the new spell, Deathbolt. The spell is a high-powered Finger of Death, causing 6D10 points of damage even if the saving throw was successful.

Great Shout – Installs the new spell, Great Shout. The spell causes damage to creatures, stuns, and deafens even on a successful saving throw. Unlike its lesser variant, Great Shout has a larger area of effect, rips open doors and containers, and penetrates all types of solid obstacles. As with its lesser variant, mineral-based creatures (such as Golems and Earth Elementals) are vulnerable to this spell.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_GREAT_SHOUT

Files overridden: None, unless another mod introduces an identical spell (the spell uses the same IDS name)

Incendiary Cloud – Changes the spell Incendiary Cloud. The damage caused remains the same, the duration and area of effect are decreased. The Incendiary Cloud creates a cloud of billowing smoke where creatures within are hampered the same way as in a Fog Cloud.

Spell IDS name: WIZARD_INCENDIARY_CLOUD (as per vanilla)

Files overridden: SPWI810.spl

Otto's Irresistible Dance – Introduces the spell, Otto's Irresistible Dance. The caster must successfully attack an opponent in melee in order for this spell to work; there is no saving throw against the effects. The victim starts dancing haplessly for a few rounds, making all saving throw rolls fail unless they are rolled at a 20, and rendering the creature's AC worthless against opponents in melee.

Characters killed by the Power Word may only be raised by a Wish or Reincarnation.

II. Installation

----------------

You should obtain and install the latest TOB patch from www.interplay.com or www.bioware.com before installing SpellPack™, unless you already have other mods in place.

1. In order to install SpellPack B6, you will have to uninstall any previous version of SpellPack. Extract the contents of SpellPackB6.exe into your BG2 installation directory, and the DOS prompt automatically opens. If not, run Setup-SpellPackB6.exe.

2. Follow the instructions on screen.

3. Enjoy!

If anything goes wrong with the process or you later wish to uninstall SpellPack™, run the "Setup-SpellPackB5.exe" program once more and select the

[U]ninstall option. With the patch, run "Setup-SpellPackB5_Patch.exe" first to uninstall the patch, and proceed to uninstall "Setup-SpellPackB4.exe". If you wish to send me an e-mail, send it to galactygon@baraban.com, but I recommend you join the forums (http://forums.blackwyrmlair.net/) and contact me there. I check that e-mail address, but very rarely.

III. Compatibility

------------------

SpellPack patches every trap in the game to cast the trapped spell through an invisible creature (as many of the spells I change crash the game if they are not cast by a .cre). Therefore, it is strongly recommended to install trap adding mods (usually quest mods) before SpellPack, so then SpellPack can proceed to patch the scripts.

Because both SpellPack and SpellRevisions override the spells they change, installing both will cause one to override the other. Since SpellPack allows you spell-by-spell installation, it is recommended you install SpellPack after SpellRevisions.

Because Sword Coast Stratagames II makes duplicates of existing spells for the AI, it is recommended you install it after SpellPack. Installing it before SpellPack will not cause any bugs, but there would be inconsistencies - the AI would not cast the same spells as you would.

The SpellPack components of Chant, Hypnotic Pattern, and Mental Domination will break SCSII's install due to a malformed ACTION_MACRO ~mage_alacrity~ in scsII\mage\mage.tph.

Item Randomizer v5 and later detects and creates random instances of new scrolls introduced in SpellPack, therefore it is highly recommended you install Item Randomizer after SpellPack.

IV. Known Issues, Disclaimers, and Subtleties

------------------

- You must uninstall all previous versions of SpellPack in order to install SpellPack B6.

- The spell filenames were reordered since SpellPack B5 for increased compatibility. This will break saved games unless you are willing to add the spells to your character via CLUAConsole. The spell names in your install can be viewed by opening override/LCLIST_SPELLS.2da with any text editor. The spell filenames (ending with .spl) are found in the third column, and the scroll filenames (ending with .itm) are found in the fourth column.

- Some of the spell icons for the new spells are taken from Icewind Dale II or Planescape Torment. They are not aesthetically consistent with the rest of the spell icons. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to create new ones, and I would be glad to receive icon donations.

- When using Dimension Door, you really have to have a straight unobscured line between the caster and the destination; even if you have a single tree blocking that line (but you know you can physically bypass it!). This is the cost removing the line of sight restriction to the spell.

- When uninstalling the component Dimension Door, the installer displays warnings that it could not load override/hidespl.2da. This is completely harmless.

- This is cosmetic, but a "Rat - Death" is displayed if Death Spell kills a large number of creatures (the invisible creature kills itself when enough targets are struck - this is how Death Spell targets a limited number of creatures).  Sorry, but there is no way around this.

V. Version History

-------------------

Beta 6

General fixes: 

- Where earlier versions of SpellPack forced you to override seemingly unrelated files, SpellPack B6 only overrides the single spell you install. Each overridden file is documented.

- SpellPack no longer overrides msectype.2da; each component patches msectype.2da separately, and makes sure no duplicate entries exist. This will no longer cause compatibility problems with mods that add new sectypes.

- SpellPack no longer forces you to install a core component to install any of the spells. Instead, each component will check and automatically install the required files. The only effect these required files will have on the game is muting area effect spells that use the drumroll sound, and changing the Spell Deflection, Turning, and Trap spells so their visual effects do not turn off when they have absorbed or turned their spell levels. You will still know when they are expended by looking at your PC's state icons. The spells listed will still function the exact same way; they are simply patched to use a different animation. The reason for this change is due to a hardcoded feature of the engine to play those animations if creatures carry certain effects that SpellPack patches to items and spells. You may view the contents of the CORE macro in Macros/core.tph with any text editor.

- The new cloud spells in SpellPack are now dispellable by Zone of Sweet Air.

- The patching done by SpellPack is more robust and systematic: all components use the same handful of macros when patching items and spells in the game, and the installer will no longer bail out when finding corrupt items.

General changes: 

- The component structure is broken down to each spell; only repetitive spells are grouped into a single component.

- There are no “hidden” changes when installing each component; if the changes and features are not documented in the readme, drop me line at any of the modding communities.

- The components that include revised spell graphics, casting graphics and sounds have been moved to the mod LCTweaks.

- There is no instance of a brand new spell overriding a different spell except the case of Undead Ward overriding a similar spell (Repulse Undead). This has no consequences to any AI mods.

- Most spells in SpellPack have effects on other ingame spells and vice versa (for example). SpellPack B6 takes a more proactive stance when patching ingame files. For example, SpellPack will patch all true sight and detect invisibility spells to prevent the characters from entering the Shadow Door.

- SpellPack B6 introduces race sensitive effects to the game – these give the spells a common sense - a flying beholder or a giant will not be obstructed by a web spell for example, nor will a fog cloud hinder the movement rate for slimes. The race sensitive effects are determined through tables which can be edited with ease. The races are given fixed parameters which are used systematically by all components of SpellPack, eliminating human error and allowing spells to be edited more flexibly.

- The attack of the insects of an insect plague are treated as normal weapons in terms of what it can hit, while Thorn Spray, Melf's Acid Arrow, and Flame Arrow are treated as magical weapons in terms of what it can hit. These changes only come into play if you have the appropriate components installed.

- SpellPack introduces spells that are restricted to specialist wizards: Guardian Mantle and Persistence.

Changes to Individual spells: 

- Magical Stone gives you two options – you may cast this spell onto yourself and create 3 stones that anyone can hurl (with no penalty for nonproficiency in darts), or you may expend the spell and fire the stones in a similar fashion to Flame Arrow, by choosing the first target and the other two stones hit random targets within 30 feet of the initial target.

- As consistent with other outlining effects (Faerie Fire and Glitterdust), Alicorn Lance prevents the target from going invisible. The spell sets the variable LCNOINVI to one, so it can be made detectable.

- The chant spell once more requires the priest to chant to maintain the spell. Unlike previous versions of SpellPack, you may do anything with your character short of casting a spell if you wish to maintain the Chant. To give the AI a chance, the effects of the chant will linger for one round if the caster chooses to break concentration.

- Chant plays a better sound when cast by a female spellcaster.

- Due to its potency as a first level spell, Call Upon Faith may be cast only once between each resting period.

- Missiles created by the seeking spell will remain forever in the party for use, and the number of missiles created at high levels is capped at five. The missiles are normal weapons in all respects, except they are enchanted to forgo the characters' to hit rolls.

- Produce Flame creates one flame per level of the caster, and up to 3 flames can be thrown each round.

- Holy Smite and Unholy Blight do not discriminate based on alignment, but are party-friendly. This is done to give Unholy Blight a chance to compete with its good counterpart.

- The area of effect of Invisibility Purge radically reduced to a 5-foot radius/level circle (from 10-foot radius/level circle), but the area effect extends through walls and other solid obstacles.

- Stormshell grants complete immunity to fire, cold, lightning, and normal missiles, as per the spell in Faiths and Avatars. The duration has been reduced to 6 + 1D4 rounds.

- The ability granted by Call Lightning is now located under the innate abilities button.

- Admantite Mace correctly deals double damage to flying creatures as per the description.

- Recitation now has a casting sound.

- Produce Fire now has explosion graphics as originally intended.

- Flamestrike inflicts 8D8 points of damage as originally intended, and the caster is not harmed by his own spell.

- The casting time, damage, and radius of the area of effect of the Insect Plague has been reduced to one-half. Insect Plague is party friendly, hostile creatures will not start swinging at the plague. A rare bug where the Insect Plague did not cause damage has been fixed.

- Ironskin grants less skins as was originally meant to, but lasts for 1 week. Ironskin is breachable.

- Animal Rage gives the recipient one extra attack each round so it could compete with the rest of the tier.

- Druids are barred from learning Undead Ward

- Sol's Searing Orb projectile is now golden instead of purple, and has a higher chance of dealing more damage (causing 12D3 instead of 6D6 points of damage). Sol's Searing Orb affects creatures vulnerable to bright light (slimes, molds, etc) as if they were undead.

- Earthquake produces one tremor instead of three, but hiding behind walls no longer offers protection. The damage caused by the debris is stated in the description.

- Rather than curing a fixed amount of hit points for the characters, Mist of Eldath distributes a Heal spell among those within the cloud (and friendly to the party), and the duration is shortened to two rounds. This is closer to the spell detailed in Faiths and Avatars, where only one character can benefit from the spell.

- Implosion lasts for a maximum of four rounds instead of three turns.

- The component Charm Person also changes the spell Charm Person or Mammal.

- The damage caused by Chill Touch has been increased to 1D6, and undead are held instead of repulsed.

- Sustaining the Hypnotic Pattern does not require the caster's undivided attention; (s)he may do anything short of casting the spell. Furthermore, once creatures are mesmerized and the caster chooses to maintain the spell, nothing short of causing damage or a dispel magic will end the spell.

- Fire is more dangerous against web; not only do patches disappear when ignited, fire spreads throughout the web, causing 2D4 points of damage to creatures within the web.

- Vocalize component now only makes a cosmetic change of removing the male/female spellcasting sounds while it's under effect, as if the verbal components of the spells were removed.

- The Lightning Bolt component no longer overrides the old BG2 lightning bolt animation.

- Vampiric Touch and Larloch's Minor Drain does not affect non-undead creatures with no life force (such as Golems). This change now extends to the Vampiric Touch ability you gain if you have completed

- Wraithform grants you immunity to +1/+2/+3 weapons if the caster is level 10/15/20 respectively. Furthermore, wraithform makes you incorporeal, changing your race to “MIST” and giving you beneficial immunities against other spells introduced in SpellPack (web, spacewarp, etc.) that use race sensitive effects. Wraithform is breachable.

- Ice Storm has a smaller area of effect and is less graphically intensive.

- As Wizard Eye requires a small amount of concentration, it can be broken several ways: either by casting a (successful) dispel on the eye or the wizard, or by disabling the wizard.

- Chaos is patched so that races with low or exceptionally high intelligence are allowed a saving throw.

- The damage caused by a Cone of Cold is capped to 15D4+15 at level 15, the area of the cone is narrowed to 15 degrees, but the spell may be centered on a creature to prevent any misses. Furthermore, the Cone of Cold component makes a cosmetic tweak to the winter wolf's ice breath attack.

- Shadow Door is now more potent at fooling creatures – all creatures who cannot see invisible creatures except wizards and bards of 7th level or more step through the door to disappear for 1D4 rounds. The door stays there for one round after the casting.

- Domination can be resisted with a successful saving throw at a -2 penalty, and only humanoids can be dominated.

- Shroud of Flame does not allow an initial saving throw on the first round to give this spell a chance against moderate and high level opponents. Furthermore, Shroud of Flame reveals invisible creature.

- Invulnerability to Magical Weapons no longer protects you against normal weapons, but Black Blade of Disaster can no longer breach the protection.

- The size of the target has an effect on the disintegrate spell: small creatures roll their saving throws at a +1 bonus, large creature at a -1 penalty, and giant sized creatures at a -3 penalty.

- Mass Invisibility now acts as an Improved Invisibility spell that lasts for 24 hours, and has an area of effect of 100 feet radius. As per the Player's Handbook, this spell has been intended for battlefield use.

- Fixed a Prismatic Spray issue where petrification, imprisonment, and insanity were not happening. Insane creatures act as if confused; this can be cured by a successful dispel magic or a heal spell. The area of effect of Prismatic Spray has been narrowed down to a “cone 70 feet long and 15 feet wide” degrees as per AD&D; the player may now center the spell on a creature to prevent misses.

- Consistency issue with Incendiary Cloud has been fixed, the damage is capped at level 20 instead of 30. Furthermore, Incendiary Cloud blocks vision and obscures creatures within the cloud.

- The duration of Black Blade of Disaster is capped at level 30.

- Time Stop lasts for 1D2+1 rounds rather than 1D3 rounds, and no longer erases the pause between spells.

- Meteor Swarm has been simplified to be more powerful: only 4 large missiles appear instead of a 50-50 chance of smaller spheres appearing.

Beta 5

Fixes:

- Download size reduced to one-half.

- Rewritten the readme. Descriptions are in order of spell type, then spell level, and then in alphabetical order.

- The Known Issues and Credits sections are also updated, as part of rewriting the readme.

- More readable readme, as the components and features are starting to get out of hand.

- More user friendly installer to make the number of components and features manageable.

- Traps that trigger spells no longer crash the game.

- The graphics changes of SpellPack now affects almost every single spell in the game, through changing all the lighting effects. With the exception of Raise Dead, Resurrection, and Mass Raise Dead, only those spells mentioned explicitly as part of the component names are overriden.

- The PROJECTL.ids is patched rather than overriden.

- Minor inconsistency fix for MSECTYPE.2da [has no ingame effect].

- Sound fixes for Draw Upon Holy Might, Mass Invisibility, Recitation, and many other area of effect spells.

- Vanilla graphics for Horror and Monster Summoning spells restored.

- Flesh to Stone looks better.

- Poison graphics (used most notably by Dolorus Decay) do not freeze.

- Minor Globe of Invulnerability protects from Fireball and Lightning Bolt) as it should have done.

- Skull Trap now works

- Raise Dead and Resurrection have casting graphics.

- Cosmetic fix for Mass Raise Dead, and healing is capped at level 30.

- Flesh to Stone and Umberhulk Confusion projectile set to "gaze" so they look better.

- Dragon Breath did not exlcude party members in Beta 4 due to an oversight; B5 fixes this.

- Confusion and Chaos are party friendly, as they were supposed to be.

- True Sight correctly dispells Mass Invisibility.

- The following spells are now affected by Breach: Stoneskin, Invulnerability to Normal/Magical Weapons.

- Some flying and incorporeal creatures are immune to Earthquake, Entangle, Charm Plants, and Gravity.

- Chant spell fixed (now the duration is set to one turn).

- Implosion typo fixed; the spell level reads "Quest" rather than "5".

- The component Shroud of Flame is not bugged, and may be installed normally.

- The component Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting and Incendiary Cloud is not bugged, and may be installed normally.

- The area of effect of Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting is smaller, and the spell does not affect golems and elementals, while adversely affecting aquatic and slime creatures.

- The saving throws discussed in the description of Incendiary Cloud were misleading; creatures have to roll their saving throws each time the cloud bursts.

New Features:

- Minor changes here and there to the core files and graphics component

- BGI Fireball projectile restored (included in the core graphics component)

New Features:

- Guardian Angel removed. Sorry.
