About this mod Author’s original text
Invoker
The Conjurer — a hovering summoner-sorcerer for Risk of Rain 2. Mark your prey, command a trio of Cinderlings, and call forth the towering Ossuary Regent. Unlock a second set of spells for a stronger spellcasting playstyle.
Public beta, version 0.1.57. Includes custom models, portraits, skill icons, hover presentation, and three unlockable outfits with matching summons and spell colors.
Abilities
| Slot | Starting ability | What it does |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary | Arcane Bolt | Fire a magical projectile. |
| Secondary | Eldritch Blast | Blast and mark an enemy. Your thralls prioritize marked targets. |
| Utility | Void Step | Blink a short distance. Hold a movement direction to step that way; works on the ground and in the air. |
| Special | Raise Thrall | Summon a Cinderling. Keep up to three; a new summon replaces the oldest at the limit. |
| Extra summon | Ossuary Regent | Call a single powerful companion, with its own 30-second cooldown. |
The Regent uses the extra mouse thumb button (Mouse4 in the configuration) by default. Its HUD label is M3; this is not the mouse wheel. It does not replace your equipment slot. To rebind it, launch once, close the game, and edit Ossuary Regent → Summon key in com.dillan.Invoker.cfg using your mod manager's config editor. A keyboard key such as V also works. Restart after changing it.
Primary, secondary, utility, special, and equipment follow your normal game bindings. Hovering is a visual style, not unrestricted flight.
Unlocks
Complete these challenges as Invoker:
| Reward | Challenge |
| --- | --- |
| Nightfall — charcoal armor, silver detailing, blue jewels and effects | Silent Command: defeat a teleporter boss encounter without personally damaging any of its bosses. Your own Cinderling or Ossuary Regent must land a boss killing blow. |
| Soulbound — red and gold armor with green soul effects | Beat the game or obliterate on Monsoon or higher. |
| Soul Lance, Rift Detonation, and Soulstorm | The same Monsoon or higher mastery challenge. |
| Ashen Oracle — ivory armor, black accents, pink jewels and shadow effects | Beat the game or obliterate on Starstorm 2's Typhoon difficulty. |
Every outfit changes your Cinderlings and Regent to match. Classic and the original abilities are available immediately.
For Silent Command, you may fight ordinary enemies and teammates may help. Avoid personally damaging any boss in that teleporter encounter, including damage from your items, equipment, or damage-over-time effects. A teammate-only boss kill does not satisfy the summon killing-blow requirement.
Starstorm 2 is optional. You only need it to earn Ashen Oracle on Typhoon. Invoker works without Starstorm 2, and Oracle stays usable without it after you have earned the unlock.
Alternate spells
- Soul Lance: a precise piercing primary attack with a slower firing rate.
- Rift Detonation: a delayed area blast that marks enemies for your summons.
- Soulstorm: a pulsing ritual storm with an 11-metre radius, swirling mist, and a spectral sound sequence. Replaces Raise Thrall in the special slot; your separate Regent summon remains available.
Installation
Install Invoker through Mod Manager or r2modman and allow its required dependencies to install. Launch the game modded. Starstorm 2 is a separate optional download.
For a manual installation, install the listed dependencies first, then copy this archive's plugins/Invoker folder into BepInEx/plugins, keeping AssetBundles and Soundbanks beside HenryMod.dll. The DLL retains its original internal filename. Do not install a second copy of an older Invoker test build alongside it.
No saved progress or testing configuration is included. New installations use the normal unlock requirements. Existing configuration is preserved when updating; if you previously enabled testing access and want normal progression, set the four entries in the Testing section to false and restart.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
