[0.9.0] — Better Spell Compatibility & Cast-Time Control

Added

• Added per-spell cast-time control with cast_time and cast_time_multiplier.
• Added datapack spell manifests for defining how addon spells should behave when cast by mobs.
• Added config options for trusted spell namespaces, capability overrides, and namespace:* whitelist/blacklist entries.
• Expanded /magicnpcs why, /magicnpcs validate, and /magicnpcs spells with clearer AI, spell-support, and compatibility diagnostics.
• Added /magicnpcs audit spells for testing spell compatibility in-game.

Improved

• Better detection of modded attack goals, improving compatibility with custom mob AI.
• Targeted spells now properly face their target before casting.
• Loadouts for mods that are not installed are now skipped instead of treated as errors.
• Improved support for addon spells that need target information.
• Fixed several incorrect Iron's Spells capability mappings.
• /magicnpcs validate now correctly separates warnings from actual errors.
• Added safeguards against spell casts advancing twice in the same tick.

Compatibility

• Existing loadouts continue to work unchanged unless the new options are used.
• Out-of-combat SUPPORT casting behaves the same as before.
• Luminous: Beasts compatibility now has improved diagnostics, with Phoenix and Witch Doctor support still awaiting runtime verification.
