The goal of this project is to extend the standard Bioware/Obsidian's spellcasting system to look more PnP.
First of all, write down that this hak overrides ALL standard spell scripts, so you need to get the new version of the framework each time a new Obsidian's patch gets out. I generally update it during the week after the patch is out.
This hak is mainly intended for scripters who want to :
* Cast spells with a specific power (caster level, save DC, metamagic : silent, still and quicken are possible)
* Control the spellcasting action process thanks to events (enqueued, started, conjuring, conjured, cast, finished)
* Change a spell power before it is applied
* Use multiple metamagic features inside the same spell
* Get informations about active spells on a creature (caster level, metamagic, save DC, original caster)
* Get the real type of a spell (spell or like-like, supernatural, extraordinary, miscellaneous)
* Get miscellaneous informations about a spell (descriptor, name, spell school, sub-school, range)
* Get exact saving throws of creatures and items
* Make item cast spells with a specific power (caster level, metamagic, save DC)
* Enable/disable item properties on magical items
* Get informations about item properties (caster level, spell school)
* Get informations about items (magical or not, caster level, spell school)
* Make use of the upcoming Custom Spellbook system
It is also interesting for module builders and players who need :
* The PnP magic staff system
* The Detect Magic spell (wizard level 0) : A character detects magical auras (presence/absence, aura strength, spell school) and may even identify items.
* The Anayze Dweomer spell (wizard level 6) : Identify many items around a character or on a creature, and detect the active spells on a creature.
* The Spell Turning spell (wizard level 7) : Turn back their spells to your opponents.
* To make use of the Wild/Dead Magic zone system.
* To make use of the Custom Spellbooks system.
