🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have mod support enabled in BG3's launcher, otherwise the cantrip won't show up in game.
If you're using other spell mods, check load order—this mod should be loaded after any mods that alter cantrip lists.
Test the cantrip on a dummy or in a low-stakes fight first to see how it performs before relying on it in tough battles.
