The Spell Sequencing and Ioun Stones Mini-Pack (Release 1)
Hello again, this is a mini-pack I decided to release as part of my much larger Magical Miscellanea Package (link below). Spell sequencers and Ioun Stones were sorely missed in the transition from the Baldurs� Gate series to the Neverwinter Nights series, so I hope these make being a mage (wizard, sorcerer or bard) more fun again.
If you enjoy these, please take a look at the full Magical Miscellanea Package, which consists of over three hundred items, and may expand beyond that in future; it includes apparel such as armour, gloves, boots, belts and such, as well as magical items like wands, useables, and �totems�. The Ioun Stones are included in version 1.1, and the Rings of Sequencing will be included in 1.2.
Feel free to change these items to suit your individual needs, but give proper credit, and as always, please consider providing feedback and voting.
-Included: 6 Ioun Stones, 3 Rings of Sequencing (Lesser, Standard and Greater)
-To use the Ioun Stones, you just need to possess them. If you want the animation, just activate the feats they grant.
-To use the sequencing rings, cast spells directly on them in your inventory, then activate them when desired. The Lesser Ring stores one spell, the standard Ring stores two, and the Greater Ring stores three spells. These spells will be simultaneously re-cast on ring use. You can only cast the stored spells ONCE PER DAY, and you can only clear your ring of spells ONCE PER DAY, so think carefully about what you would like to store!
(Please note: I forgot about NWN1's sequencing robes in writing this description, my apologies to anyone who felt 'misled'.)
DISCLAIMER: I do not take credit for the entirety of the items included here, since a number of the items included utilise elements of item blueprints (e.g. feats, spells) planned or developed by Obsidian Entertainment, but not included in the release versions of NWN2 or it's expansions. In these cases, the items have been simply been put together by myself, with no intention to misrepresent them as my own work or anything similar. Please let me know if you take issue with any particular inclusions.

Hey guys, with the release of the Magical Miscellanea Package version 1.2, this mini-pack is soon to be updated. In case there was any doubt previously, this pack will be kept updated alongside the MMP itself, though you can expect a decent delay in the release of new versions for the MMP and the updates here. Thanks again. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Thanks Nihlar. As an aside, your mod looks quite interesting, I look forward to checking it out. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

I like it and just a few days ago I talked about the BG spell sequencer with my wife. Of course there's a lot of things in the toolset that you can do or put together if you're a skilled buider. But *this* is what PreFabs are about - making it easier for the average builder to tell his or her story and making modules for the community. Keep 'em coming!

Couldn't agree more Wyrin, there's a lot of potentially useful and fun stuff left unused in the toolset. Here's hoping we see more of it get utilised in the future. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Disagree with rawn_phoenix comepletely - there's lots of stuff hidden i nthe toolset, but making it accessible is very valuable

I've included a reference to the three sequencing robes included in NWN1 in the description, so rawn_phoenix's heart can continue beating. Thank you. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

I've literally got nothing to say to that rawn_phoenix, since your comment is misleading, utterly incorrect and clearly antagonistic. If you're willing to present your thoughts in a more constructive way, then I'd be happy to discuss them with you, but until then, thank you for your vote. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

When you say "Spell sequencers and Ioun Stones were sorely missed in the transition from the Baldurs� Gate series to the Neverwinter Nights series"
That is pure misinformation on your behalf! Such was implimented in NWN (and carried over in the form of Toolset items and functions into NWN2).
Unnecessary implementation and misinformation = not a very good addition to the Community.

Thanks Irenicus. I've been looking into automating the animation activation for a little while now and I'm fairly confident I'll be able to pull it off. My current approach has been focused on fiddling with an unused script included by OE which might produce some cool results. Custom feats would certainly be an excellent way to package both the ability effects and automated animations though I agree. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link

Very nice, didn't realize this was possible (that items from HotU actually were carried though not implemented) in NWN2. Good job, Apep.
I hope you'll look into the SetBaseAbilityScore() that is mentioned in patch notes for 1.23, and the possibilities that will bring? :-)
The best way to implement this would probably be to create custom feats that activated both the animations and the bonuses.
But, what you've given here is a great start! :-) _________________________ best regards,

Time saver!

Assuming you're referring to the toolset, that's a fair question. These items are only available in the toolset in the form of unused feats and item images, which quite a lot of people aren't even aware of in my experience, especially those who aren't confident using the toolset - or simply don't use it at all.
So, with that in mind, what's easier? Twenty or so minutes fiddling in the toolset to put them together, or seconds downloading a 1.95kb file? I know which I'd choose. Regardless, I understand your position and look forward to a reply, if you still take issue with posting these. _________________________ AP Magical Miscellanea Package (v1.5, over 750 items): Link
