Vanilla Plus - Weapons Spells and Skills Overhaul

✨ **Maintain the essence of the original version and enhance the gaming experience** ✨

🎯 Mod Concept

This is a complete overhaul mod designed to maintain the balance and gameplay style of the original Ring of Elden while making more weapons, spells, and skills useful! Because the author couldn't find a module that fully met his personal preferences, he decided to create this perfect game experience enhancement tool himself.

📋 Latest update (v1.7.2)

🐛 Bug fixes

  • **SpEffect [Standard Visual Effect] Endure Lite III - Heavy**: Fixed the issue of abnormal FP consumption

✨ New features

  • **Battle Cry Skill Enhancements**: War Cry, Savage Roar, Braggart's Roar, Milos' Scream and King's Roar now increase all damage types and are effective against spells!
  • 🧙‍♂️ The berserker mage’s dream comes true! Considering that the Roar buff consumes FP, has a time limit, and the gain amplitude is in the 7.5-10% range, while the Catalyst buff is in the 10-30% range, this change will not disrupt the balance.
  • **New location for Braggart's Roar**: can now be found in a cell in the Prison Cave (replaces the location of the Stone Sword Key)
  • 🗝️ No more killing Boggarts for skills! This positioning also makes sense because he mentioned that he was once in the same prison as the Coprophagous Man.

⚡ Thunder System Remastered (v1.7.0)

The author has never been satisfied with the way FromSoftware handled thunder and lightning in "Elden Ring", so he made a bold reconstruction:

🔴 Red Thunder

  • **Faith (FTH) Bonus**: Based on the reverence and resonance for thunder and lightning
  • A forced method of obtaining power that is different from the Dragon Feast Ceremony

🔵 Blue Thunder

  • **INTELLIGENCE (INT) BONUS**: An artificial product created by scholars of the Eternal City
  • Intellectual attribute positioning consistent with scientific research

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
