Unleash Dark Magic (and cooldown variant)
🎮 **Unleash your dark magic now and pour out your fury on unsuspecting poachers and swamp monsters! **
This mod allows you to use powerful black magic early in the game, and provides versions with different cooldown times for you to choose from.
✨ Module function
This mod contains three main variants, which you can choose to install according to your preference:
- **Unlocks Dark Magic Only**: Allows you to use Dark Magic from the start, but keeps the original cooldown.
- **Quick Black Magic**: Unlock all black magic and adjust their cooldown time to **10 seconds**, allowing you to cast spells more frequently.
- **Super Black Magic**: Unlock all black magic and **completely remove cooldown**! Let you experience uninterrupted magic bombing.
💡 **COMPATIBILITY NOTE**: I have tested on PC and the character has just arrived in Hogsmeade. As confirmed by shrimpgang in the comments section, it **shouldn't affect** Sebastian's future quest lines.
📁 Installation and use
- Place the downloaded `.pak` file into your game directory:
`steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods`
- **IMPORTANT NOTE**: This mod may be overwritten by other mods that modify unlocking spells, adjust cooldowns, or modify timers (such as reducing potion brewing time).
- If you want to use this mod with other mods that modify the `PhoenixShipData.sqlite` file, you can use the Hogwarts Mod Merger tool to merge.
🔧 Troubleshooting
If the mod doesn't take effect immediately, you can try the following:
- **Method 1**: Copy the `.pak` file directly into the `Paks` folder (not the `~mods` subfolder).
- **Method 2**: Rename the file, adding `_P` at the end (for example, rename `zUnlockFastDarkArts.pak` to `zUnlockFastDarkArts_P.pak`).

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.
