This mod rebalances 3 Unforgivable Curses. It will slightly reduce the cooldown of Avada Kedavra, but most importantly it will improve the other two spells so that they actually become useful.

The Unforgivable Curse Remade

✨ **Bring new life to black magic! ** This mod aims to rebalance the three Unforgivable Curses in "Hogwarts Legacy" so that they are no longer just plot embellishments, but truly powerful spells that can play a unique role in combat.

---

🔮 Avada Kedavra

  • **Cooldown time reduction**: The in-combat cooldown is reduced from **90 seconds** to **60 seconds**, and the out-of-combat cooldown is greatly reduced to **10 seconds** (originally 60 seconds).
  • **Effect Enhancement**: Added knockback effect (a nod to the scene in "Goblet of Fire" when Cedric was knocked away), and increased the casting range.
  • **Tactical Considerations**: When casting a spell, it will make a loud noise, making it easier to alert the enemy. You need to choose the timing more carefully when using it.

😱 Heart-cutting and bone-cutting

  • **Cooldown Optimization**: Cooldown time reduced from **20 seconds** to **15 seconds**.
  • **Control Master**: The spell effect becomes **infinite duration**, which means it can cause permanent torture and stiffness to a single target. It is a powerful single-target control skill.
  • **Sound effect adjustment**: The screams of the cursed person will alarm nearby enemies, but for the sake of balance, its direct damage has been slightly reduced.

🕵️ Soul out of body

  • **Stealth Weapon**: The casting action is **almost silent**, making it an excellent choice for stealth operations.
  • **Persistent Control**: Controlled units will obey your orders **indefinitely** until defeated.
  • **Range Adjustment**: The casting distance is slightly reduced, and the cooldown outside combat is shortened to **5 seconds** to encourage more flexible tactical use.

💡 **Usage Suggestions**: Now, each of the three Unforgivable Curses has a clear tactical positioning - Avada Kedavra is a high-risk and high-reward finishing move, Heart Crusher is a powerful single-body controller, and Soul Out of Body perfectly serves stealth and strategic gameplay. Use it flexibly according to your fighting style and the enemies you face!

🎮 **Game experience**: The reworked spells greatly enrich the depth and strategy of combat, allowing you to more truly experience the "Dark Wizard" fighting style, instead of just using a few flashy cutscene skills.

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.
