Cataclysm Spells for Legendary Lords

Cataclysm spells are some of the most fun spells in the game and - apart from some niche factions - are largely confined to the Realms of Chaos game mode. Not anymore! This mod allows access to the eight cataclysm spells in game, plus another eleven new cataclysm spells for other lores of magic:

• High - Command the Winds
  
• Dark - Hymn of Agony
  
• Vampires - Malediction of Nagash
  
• Tzeentch - Pendulum of Fate
  
• Tzeentch - Dispel Mortal
  
• Nurgle - Rotbomb
  
• Slaanesh - Slothful Stupor
  
• Ruin - Warpstorm
  
• Plagues - The Great Red Pox
  
• Ice - Ursun's Indomitability

Khorne also gets a bound ability called Wrath of Khorne which is absolutely not any sort of magic or spell or incantation of any sort.


Most of these spells are based on the official Storm of Magic book. However, where this isn't possible I have tried to design thematic spells to fill the gaps (you can see my reasoning in this discussion thread). This mod is in no way balanced, as these spells are supposed to be battle-changing and handing them out willy-nilly will change the game balance. Do note, however, that enemy lords will also have access to these spells!

These spells are automatically awarded upon the lord reaching level 30. This should be the case even where a lord is confederated.

This mod is inspired by Liu's Ultimate Spells which has unfortunately not been updated for some time. A huge shout out to Liu for their mod and the inspiration it provided.

Cataclysm Spells as Bound

All the cataclysm spells in this mod are bound to the legendary lord, rather than being done as army abilities. This ensure that they won't interfere with any army spells (e.g. from Gelt or via the storm of magic mechanics). It also means that the AI is more likely to use them in combat (compared to if they were high WoM spells).


Do note that I am not an effects artist and so most of these spells are built using existing game file assets. However, I always welcome feedback on balance and design choices, although I may not be able to make every change suggested.

1. Possible sub-mod for Mixu's legendary lords.
   
2. Possible cataclysm spells for legendary heroes.
   
3. Possible Ancestor Runes for Dwarfs.
   
4. For lords that could fit into multiple categories (such as vampires, Daemon Prince, Mazdamundi, etc), I may redesign their tree to allow them to pick from a selection of spells. This should provide more player agency when building lords.

I've elected to use the spell row of the skill tree to add these mods (either row 2 or 3 depending on the lord). This should ensure compatibility with mods that provide general overhauls (such as Singe's Lord Skills Compilation) which tend to use rows 0 and 1.
