Unified basic spellcasting

by Kirdis·v4.27.2.0·Updated 2025-12-15

In the original game, the first three attacks of the base cast dealt very low damage, and the fourth attack dealt very high damage. I'd like to change this behavior so that each attack does the same damage without needing to combo between spells.

Unify basic spellcasting

🎮 **Tired of the confusing damage mechanic of the original basic cast? ** This mod brings you a new, more intuitive spellcasting experience!

✨ Module Introduction

In the original "Hogwarts Legacy", the damage design of Basic Casts was a bit strange: the first three attacks did very little damage, and only the fourth attack caused considerable damage. This forces players to perform combos in order to produce effective output.

**This mod changes that completely! ** It removes the combo damage multiplier from the base cast, making every cast equally powerful. Now, you no longer need to deliberately perform combos in order to deal high damage, and the battle rhythm will be smoother and freer!

⚙️ Specific changes

This module makes the following core adjustments to game data:

  • **Removed Combo Multiplier**: The damage curve of the base cast is flattened so that each attack does the same damage.
  • **Optional version available**: In addition to the default balanced version, the module also provides an alternative version that enhances the damage of each basic cast for players who pursue higher output.

📄 Modification details (default version, basic casting damage x1)

Modify file: `PhoenixShipData.sqlite`

  • **SpellDefinition table**
  • **"Stupefy"** damage adjusted from **3** to **8**
  • **"StupeyHeavy"** damage adjusted from **23** to **8**

🔗 Compatibility and Acknowledgments

  • **Compatibility Tip**: If you have multiple mods installed that modify the same game files, it is recommended to use Hogwarts Mod Merger to merge them to avoid conflicts.
  • **Special Thanks**: This mod was inspired by user **BannerAD** and his mod Consistent Basic Cast. Since the original mod version is older and may cause instability or mission freezes in the latest game version, I decided to create a new, more stable version based on the current game version.

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.
