Welcome!

You can hold five elements in your "palette".
The first two elements will affect what type of spell you cast.
The last three elements affect some parameters of spells, such as damage, duration or range.

LMB to cast.

RMB to push. It also resets your palette.
☞︎(R, if you are using the Spellcaster Revolver.)☜︎

Middle click ☞︎(must be bound to "+attack3")☜︎ to bookmark elements as spells.

R ☞︎(must be bound to "+reload")☜︎ to access bookmarks and load them.

Read this section, don't neglect rule zero of magecraft!

(KNOWN ISSUES & CAVEATS SECTION.)
This is the part of the description where it's all boring. So boring, that if you post a comment reporting about an issue, I'd like you to end the comment with the word "toaster", to show me that you've read the description.
To ease the process, please post the error logs.

  • ☞︎Radial menus are inaccessible on first-draw. Put away the staff and draw it again to fix.☜︎
  • ☞︎Radial menus are inaccessible if the weapon is drawn using a console command or spawnmenu. You must manually select it.☜︎
  • ☞︎Dying while having a radial menu open will not reset your cursor. Open and close the chat to fix this.☜︎
  • ☞︎This addon may break if you are running your game in singleplayer. To avoid this, set your game to 2 players or more.☜︎
  • ☞︎An error will print 1-2 times if someone dies while firing a beam or stream type spell. This is harmless and a minor annoyance at worst.☜︎
  • ☞︎Some spell combinations cancel each other out. For example, Life + Arcane = Arcane beam. This is intentional.☜︎
  • ☞︎Shield-type spells are not affected by palette slot 3-5. This is intentional.☜︎

Special Thanks
  • The many Touhou arrangers keeping my sanity alive with their works.
  • Gorlami, for indirectly sending me down the rabbithole to make this mod.

Unfun Facts
  • This addon was conceptualized, coded, tested, and published from start to finish in a week.
  • Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
  • It is just about impossible to succumb from drinking too much coffee.
  • This addon is not designed with PVP in mind. However, it works pretty well if you set everyone to have 1000-2000 health.

@Yuuma Toutetsu
Yes. More specifically "I want more magic", "People don't make enough magic", "Make one myself" and this happened. Exponential scaling makes this one far too op for serious Horde integration :c

@hotdog water
Shield + Ice = Exactly what you described :)

the thumbnail gif reminds me of the "I saw a guy do this in a tooth paste ad once, Tada!" (Daffy then slams into a wall of Ice made by Bugs.)
