Fast spell wheel
✨ An ambitious early project to bring you a fast spellcasting experience beyond the standard spell slots!
🎮 How to use
- **Apparition**: Quickly tap the potion key while aiming. It requires two operations - the first time to set the transfer point, and the second time to confirm the transfer. Casting other spells between the two clicks will cause Apparition to fail and cast in place.
- **Other Spells**: While aiming, hold down the potion key until the spell wheel appears. Move the in-game cursor in the direction of the spell you want to cast (no need to be precise with the icon). Release the button to cast the spell.
- **Cancel Casting**: Press and hold the potion key until the spell wheel appears, without moving the in-game cursor, then release the key.
🔮 Available spells
Please note that these spells are not new, the Spell Wheel simply mines them from existing game data:
- **Apparition** - Medium distance teleportation, about the same range as a normal spell. It sometimes fails during combat for unknown reasons.
- **All petrified** - No damage to the stun, the effect depends on the situation, the wizard can break free almost immediately, which is consistent with the original setting to a certain extent.
- **Swoon** - From the Armored version, the damage talent unlock seems to work as well.
- **Fire** - Same as the Fire Tornado used by some enemies, short duration.
- **Confusion Spell** - Temporarily confuses the enemy, making him unable to fight for a short period of time.
- **Forgotten** - Makes enemies temporarily forget you exist, completely disengage from combat, and re-enable Disguise/Passive Healing/Hide.
🛠️ Current development direction
- Customize the spell wheel
- Save the default spell wheel
- The explosive version of Li Huo
🎯 Final goal
- **Mod Itself**: A fully customizable spell wheel for quick access to spells beyond the 4x4 spell slot.
- **MOD COMPATIBILITY**: Once new spells are researched, the goal is to allow other modders to easily add these spells to the spell wheel framework without my involvement.

⚠️ Compatibility Notes
Some UE4SS mods have been reported to cause crashes due to the nature of their hooked games, which can occur with or without fast spell wheels. As of now, no specific incompatibility issues have been found with this mod.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
