These spells were originally developed based off of the code of captainchina123's mod WQMagic fireball. This mod was heavily inspired by BenjiG91's awesome but sadly long outdated CalradiaAwakens - A Fantasy Total Conversion and the super fun Phantasy mod for M&B Warband by Guspav and GSanders.
Lesser Scholar’s excellent tutorial (https://youtu.be/tOziMRXJ7tM) and responsive feedback taught me how to add in new models and effects for the
spells and rewrite the xmls from scratch. I highly recommend it!
Lastly, this easy to follow Blender tutorial (https://youtu.be/nIoXOplUvAw) by BlenderGuru took me from zero experience in 3D modeling to creating the (admittedly crude) spell effects used in this mod.

Version 1.0

This mod adds ten spells to Bannerlord. Compatible with my mod adding in mage units here Magic Casters.
Arcane Shot
Magical energies focused into a small, ball of energy. Novice mages depend on this spell to defend themselves while they hone their channeling ability.
Stats: 20 skill, single target, low cutting damage, medium range.
Heartseeker
Popular with battle mages fighting well armored foes this spell bypasses wood and steel to melt into the flesh of living beings.
Stats: 40 skill, single target, low piercing damage, medium range. Ignores shields.
Fireball
Arcane forces channeled into a ball of flames. This spell will explode on impact burning the target and scorching anyone nearby.
Stats: 50 skill, affects small group, good cutting damage, medium range.
Sleep
This enchantment will collapse even the strong willed, leaving them helpless on the battlefield. Whether driven by mercy or sadism, some mages prefer to take their foes alive.
Stats: 70 skill, single target, (high blunt damage), very short range.
Deepflame Bolt
Magical forces pulled into a sharp bead and infused with arcane fire. The resulting bolt punches through most armors killing many on impact. With its excellent range and accuracy experienced battle mages depend on this spell to drop enemies well before they come within striking distance.
Stats: 90 skill, single target, good piercing damage, long range.
Shatterstorm
Calls down a rain of rocky debris pounding a group of foes.
Stats: 110 skill, affects large group, good cutting damage, short range.
Brilliant Lance
Focusing pure arcane energy into an unstoppable piercing shard this spell pierces through anything and keeps killing.
Stats: 120, affects single target initially, but pierces through and hits anything behind and repeats, good damage, medium range.
Forceblast
Channels magic into a pure, nearly invisible, crashing wave. Even thosethat are able to survive the blow are often knocked to the ground.
Stats: 160 skill, affects medium group, high blunt damage, medium-long range.
Inferno
Only the most studied master wizards have developed the focus and strength of will to summon forth and bind their magic into this terrible explosion. Casting
the feared fireball requires both hands and takes too great a focus to use while mounted. Best used in siege warfare.
Stats: 200 skill, affects large group, very high cutting damage, long range, difficult and slow to aim, requires two hands, cannot cast mounted.
Witchfire
Barely controlled but bursting with raw power, Witchfire is wielded by wild mages born with the touch but not afforded proper academy training. This invocation’s poor range and poorer accuracy make it a dangerous weapon for ally as well as enemy. The tool of the desperate and degenerate, witches found
channeling this power are ruthlessly hunted and executed in civilized lands.
Stats: 60 skill, affects small group, medium-high cutting damage, medium range.
Game Information
For best visual effect open your Options game menu, Gameplay tab, and dial down the “Weapon Trail Visibility” slider to the lowest setting (0.00). This removes the stone throwing trail while still keeping the spell effect trails. Big thanks to XavtheRiv for figuring this out!
The first seven spells can be found for sale as the price threshold rises. The last spell, Witchfire, is not for sale in shops. All spells can be added through Cheat mode. Most of the spells look great when viewed from the perspective of another person casting them. Try giving them to a companion, but watch out for friendly fire.
Compatibility
Works for version 1.1.4 (probably past versions as well)
It should be compatible with everything as it just adds spells and doesn’t replace anything.
It doesn’t work in Total Conversion mods as written but can be made to work by manually placing of the files. If you want help with that msg me.
Installation
Remove the past versions of this mod before installing. To install just download and drop in your Bannerlord Module folder. Make sure you also have the Harmony mod installed. Activate it in Mods when you start up and you’re good to go. This mod can be safely added and removed from an ongoing game.

Reviews for "Experience Epic Battles with Bannerloed Magic Mod"
1. John - 2/5: I was really excited to try out the Bannerloed magic mod after hearing so many positive reviews. However, I was extremely disappointed with my experience. The mod promised a wide range of new spells and magical abilities, but most of them were either ineffective or glitchy. The mod also caused my game to crash multiple times, making it nearly unplayable. Overall, I found the Bannerloed magic mod to be a frustrating and underwhelming addition to my game.
2. Emily - 1/5: I can honestly say that the Bannerloed magic mod is the worst mod I've ever tried. Not only did it not deliver on its promises, but it also completely broke my game. The new spells had no impact on gameplay and felt like a halfhearted attempt at adding magic to the game. On top of that, the mod caused my game to lag significantly and eventually crash. I would advise anyone considering this mod to stay far away and save yourself the frustration.
3. Sarah - 2/5: I had high hopes for the Bannerloed magic mod, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The new spells were interesting in theory, but they lacked balance and didn't fit seamlessly into the game. Additionally, the mod caused major compatibility issues with other mods I had installed, resulting in frequent crashes and errors. It's a shame because the mod had potential, but ultimately, it was too problematic to enjoy.
4. Michael - 3/5: While I didn't hate the Bannerloed magic mod, I can't say I enjoyed it either. The new spells and abilities were unique, but they didn't add much depth or excitement to the game. The mod also had a tendency to conflict with other mods, causing me to constantly troubleshoot and adjust my load order. Overall, I would say that the Bannerloed magic mod is a decent attempt, but it needs some major improvements to make it worth using in my opinion.
5. Laura - 2/5: As an avid fan of magic in video games, I was excited to give the Bannerloed magic mod a try. Unfortunately, it left me feeling underwhelmed and frustrated. The new spells lacked creativity and simply felt like watered-down versions of existing spells in the game. Additionally, the mod caused my game to crash several times, forcing me to restart and lose progress. Overall, I don't think the Bannerloed magic mod adds enough value to the game to make it worth the hassle.
