Skills have no torch bonus

✨ A simple but clever mod, specially created for adventurers who pursue the ultimate dark experience!

🎯 About the module

This mod removes the "Torch +x" effect from the **Paladin** and **Sister** skills.

This is the perfect choice for players who want to play a **completely dark** copy or even an entire campaign! You no longer have to worry about a healing or defensive skill accidentally illuminating the surroundings during a fierce battle, destroying the terrifying atmosphere and challenging difficulty you carefully created.

**Affected skills include:**

• **Paladin (Crusader)**
• 🛡️ Bulwark of Faith
• 💪 Inspiring Cry
• **Nun (Vestal)**
• ✨ Dazzling Light
• 💡 Divine revelation (Illumination)

📥 Installation Guide

• **Install the Mod**: Extract the module file to the root directory of your "Darkest Dungeon" game, and select "Yes" when prompted to overwrite the file.

🗑️ Uninstall method

Very simple! Just put the two original files you backed up before back to their original folders (`/heroes/crusader` and `/heroes/vestal`), and overwrite the modified files.
