(OverPowered Spells) Super powerful spells

✨ **Welcome to a new era of magic! ** This mod completely rewrites the spell system in "Hogwarts Legacy", allowing you to experience unprecedented power.

🧙‍♂️ Core Functions

  • **Damage explosion increased**: Basic spell casting can cause about **500 points of damage**, and the damage of red spells (such as Thunderbolt Explosion) can even exceed **4000 points**!
  • **Ignore Shields**: Most spells can now break all types of shields (red, yellow, purple).
  • **Cooldown greatly reduced**: The cooldown of many spells has been significantly reduced, for example the cooldown of Thunderbolt Blast is reduced from 10 seconds to 2 seconds (in the Lite version).
  • **Effect duration and range enhancement**: Some control spells (such as freezing spell, transformation spell, levitation spell) have an effect duration of up to **5 minutes**, and can affect up to **8 enemies** at the same time (original version is 3).
  • **More interesting adjustments**: The casting distance of the Levitation Spell has been increased, and the Transformation Spell can now affect **up to 25 enemies**, and the effect lasts for **50 minutes**, giving you plenty of time to "stack" your enemies!

📥 Installation instructions

  • Download the provided `.zip` file and unzip it using your favorite tool (such as 7-Zip).
  • Place the unzipped `.pak` file into your `~mods` folder.
**The folder path is usually**: `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods`

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

  • **Compatibility**: If you use other modules that modify the `PhoenixShipData.sqlite` file, you need to use a **module merge tool** (such as the merge tool on) to avoid conflicts.
**Remember Before Merging**: Click the red exclamation mark button in the merge tool to make the files compatible!
  • **Gray Shield**: This is a very rare type of shield that can only be broken by **Ancient Magic** or the **Unforgivable Curse**.

🎮 Version selection

We provide versions of different strengths to meet the needs of different players:

  • **OP Extreme (Original)**: The most powerful version, with ultimate spell damage and effects.
  • **Lite version**: retains the core enhancements (such as breaking shields), but the damage and cooldown time are moderately balanced, making it more suitable for players looking for a balance between challenge and fun.
For detailed comparison of spell values, you can view the complete spreadsheet.

💡 Gameplay Creativity and Update Log

**A little fun for developers**:

Try combining this mod with my other mod **Hogwarts Express Timetable Fix**! Find enemies near the railroad tracks, turn them into barrels and pile them on the tracks...and then wait for the train to pass by every 5 minutes. The fun is endless! 🚂

**Summary of recent updates**:

  • **2/14**: Rebalanced the damage of some spells (such as Sand and Stone, Expelliarmus). Basic cast now breaks all shields.
  • **2/19**: Stasis Spell can now break most shield types.
  • **2/20**: Fixed the issue of abnormal cooling of the Split Spell in the Lite version.
  • **2/21 & 2/23**: The duration and maximum impact of control spells have been greatly enhanced, and the casting distance of the suspension spell has been increased.

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.
