Are you an evoker that wants to be able to quickly pick out your favorite spells of flaming death? Are you a helpful cleric that needs to easily fling out healing spells? Are you a druid that wants to make magic for the animals and plants a priority? Don't fit into these groups but still want to have highly visible differences between your spells?
You are in luck!
This is a collection of 345 custom colorized spell icons to help you keep track of common types of magic.
Every spell in the game is accounted for and broken down into one of 19 roughtly themed color categories. These range from the more obvious ones such as fire spells (orange) and acid spells (bright green) to the less common divination spells (blue and yellow) and epic spells (orange and yellow).
There are two files listed here. One .rar file contains all 345 icons that you can decompress into your override folder for use playing any module. The other .rar contains a hak file with the same icons for use in building them into your own modules. You do not need both, but you will not have any problems if you have both loaded onto your computer.
Edit (11-23-05): I have uploaded two tiny additional .rar files that contain the missing Polymorph Self and Shapechange sub-radial spell icons (addition1.rar) and the epic spell feat icons (addition2.rar). Like the _OR file, just decompress into your override folder. These can be added to the hak file if you wish to do it.
As always, feedback, comments, and votes are always welcome.

Good color addition and very nice to be able to quickly see what is what.

*sigh* And yet again, I discover that I failed to vote on some of the wonderful custom additions that I have grown to love and take for granted in Aenea... fixed.

I've been really impressed with all your sets, but this one in particular is magnificent. They make the game feel new again, to the point that I shall recommend their use when I release "The Relbonian Chronicles". I've posted a link in my blog so others can benefit from them. :) _________________________ View my blog regarding the Relbonian Chronicles project --> Link

Excellent mod. Now if only we could get you to combine up all your colorized/transparent UI stuff into one package...

I used these as part of Fester Pot's mods and a couple of thegeorge's and liked them so much that I decided to get the override version.
This one in particular makes distinguishing spells much easier and after using it for several hours, I don't really want to go back to the standard icons.

Mind blowing. Adds new life to the game. Staring at these icons all the time, on different characters makes immersion more attainable.

I just plain love these, they rock like no other mod does, and make normal NWN seem bland when you don't have them...

Very good work. Makes it quite a bit easier to find the right spell. I agree with Krit that some icons are too greyed out, though.

Very handy. Can't imagine playing a spellcaster without it.

Personally, I prefer the color scheme the way it is. The spell schools seem so arbitrary at times -- for example, why are Stoneskin and Greater Stoneskin from different schools? Besides, when it comes time to cast a spell, I'm much more interested in knowing the damage type, and the current color scheme makes it easier to pick the right spell -- for example, choosing Lightning Bolt over Fireball for fire-immune enemies.

One small "complaint", though... Concerning a matter of personal taste.
If I were to take up such a work, I would colorize the spells by their spell schools; e.g. red for evocation, yellow for enchantment, green for abjuration, black/grey for necromancy etc.... But, as I said, it's just a matter of personal taste. The icons look very good as they are. :-) _________________________ best regards,

Cool addition to the game. Some of the spells (e.g. Ghostly Visage) are too gray for my tastes (they're too close to the grayed-out, no-uses-left icon) but otherwise the color schemes makes it a lot easier to distinguish quickslotted spells at a glance.

Very cool, and makes NWN MUCH more pleasing to the eye. Keep it up! :-) _________________________ best regards,

I like it.
I first saw this in the Almraiven module, and I liked the visual effect.
I'd really love to see a version that colorizes the spells by school.
