Item Balance Adjustments

Many items had become increasingly complex and prone to bugs, so elements judged to have little impact on fun have been removed or simplified.

• Removed the handling that allowed items such as Scrollcaster Gauntlet to ignore cooldown reduction settings for weapon-imbued spells, as it was causing frequent issues.
  • For balance reasons, only Amulet of Spell Autocast is still unaffected by cooldown reduction settings for weapon-imbued spells.
• Removed cast time override settings from Spellgun configuration. It now only controls whether casting is skipped or not.
• Removed the ability for Swingcast Staves, except Silver, to cast spells while skipping casting.
  • Instead, Mithril Freecast Staff and Spell-Revolvercast Staff can restore this feature through calibration slot items.
• Removed the ability for Charm of Jumpcast to cast spells while skipping casting.
• Changed Amulet of Spell Autocast so its allowed spell restrictions now match Mithril Freecast Staff.
• Added a calibration item that controls Amulet of Spell Autocast activation based on buffs.
  • By default, only ISS buff spells and healing spells are supported.
  • Additional support can be added via datapacks.
• Changed the crafting output amount of Multi-purpose Spell Round.

Other

• Readjusted item icons.

• Added recipes that allow Spell Round-type items to be crafted through automation when Create is installed.
