Visie, I don't suppose you take requests/NotBribes for tome ideas? You do such amazing work I'd love to see another T4 tome that is lightning themed (Astral Convergence is very "yes, but actually no" and Stormborne kind of demands you focus on its skirmisher and racial.)

It'd be perfect to add your Tempest Dragon from Expanded Animals from, too.

Nice! Thanks!

Small update with more polish.

General
- Added a new starting loadout: Arcfire Orb and Mount
- Updated the icon for the Rampant Arcfire combat enchantment from the Arcfire Typhoon strategic spell

Ascension: Arcfire Mage
- Updated the hero skill icon
- Updated the ability icon for Arcfire Typhoon
- Arcfire Typhoon now has a base 90% chance to inflict Burning and Electrified individually (from 60%)

@Aëtec, great catch! Thank you, this has been fixed.

- Fixed a bug where Flamesurge Focus and Champion Arcfire Strike didn't work with Ghostfire + Electrified.
- Updated FX for Flamesurge Focus target impact.

I'm not sure if this is the case but I get the impression that the burning condition is not compatible with ghostfire effect from the tome of calamities.

-> flamesurge focus 30% chance of trigering when target is both burned and electrified OR target is both ghostburned and electrified
-> arcfire sorceress, arcfire strike deals extra damage to units that are both burned and electrified OR target is both ghostburned and electrified

@anteos, a playset with no mods enabled is set as the default with the new update. Make sure you select a different playset with mods enabled. Thanks for the comments!

@Zeal, appreciate the comments!

Thanks for your update. I really enjoyed it. But since the Griffon update its not been working. I've reinstalled the mods but no luck. is it to do with the playset? thanks

This rules, wish we had more hybrid tomes and this one speaks to me personally. Thanks Author! hope to see more from you and gonna try your winter tomes next!

- Fixed an issue where griffon mounts weren't showing in the portrait for the Arcfire Sorceress.

Thanks to Fii for catching this!

@Silent Service, @A Big Hairy Monster, thank you :)

i love this tome, thx

Thanks for the work, This ones a fav of mine

- No changes. Just patching for the Griffon update.

@Bane @Phalanx, thank you for your kind words! I try to match the base game design where I can.

Fun fact i subscribed to this years ago and forgot about it, and finally played the game again and thought this was a vanilla tome because its so high quality, great job!

Fantastic Mod!

The fact that is voiced gave me goosebumps as I was not expecting it haha

Thanks for the mod.

I've made korean translation!

Fair enough, thanks for the great mod!

@Choupinet, thanks for the suggestion! The devs did exclude some enchantments from applying to all magic attacks, such as Constricting Focus.

I decided against making Flamesurge Focus benefit all magic attacks since it seemed like a niche effect. It would also look strange to see your frost spell have +1/+1 lightning/fire damage, though this same problem exists for other enchantments. As well, when Flamesurge Focus triggers, there's some fiery/electric FX which could look strange when you are casting a frost spell.

Flamesurge Forcus should probably be changed to apply to all magic attacks (instead of just base) to be consistent with other enchantments.

Updated for the new patch!

- Added a champion rank bonus for the Arcfire Sorceress: Champion Arcfire Strike
- Updated the animation for the Arcfire Sorceress's Arcfire Strike ability.
- Full list of changes in the change notes.

@OwO, yes I have an update ready to go for April 1st when the Ogre update is officially released.

Thanks for the comments all!

Will this be updated for the ogre patch? :0

It's voiced and everything wot.

I just want to say I really appreciate both your mods! This and Tomes of Winter fit perfectly into the game and I couldnt imagine playing without them! <3

Update 2.1
- Fixed a bug with the Tiger patch where the Flamesurge Focus unit enchantment was applying double base damage to targets that are Burning and Electrified.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments! I'm pleased to announce my latest project, Tomes of Winter : https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3387678468

@[HN] thank you for the feedback! Yes I agree, it would be nice to make the Arcfire Sorceress stand out more. I tried a bunch of things but unfortunately the outfit combinations are limited. If I have time I'll try again.

@Ruby, I try to make my tomes match the base game. Since the base game removed the hero skill, I removed my hero skill as well so I don't think I'll replace it with another tome skill/spell/unit if that was the question. Ideally it could fit into the signature skills, but that would require modifying the base game files, affecting mod compatibility.

Any plans to change out the Hero Skill for something else since hero skills can't be acquired from tomes anymore?

Really cool mod and love the synergy/concept!

Thanks for the mod. This sth I desperately want in the base game. Great for flavor & functionality (no good T2 spellcasting tomes)

Very cool mod that fit perfectly in a niche. It feels like a part of the vanilla game.
The only small downside right now is how the Archfire Mage looks a bit too close to the fire mage from a visual standpoint.
Maybe having them have one hand with fire and one hand with lightning could help to make them look a bit more distinctive?

OK

@你可能遇见了假队友, thank you! You are very welcome to translate my mod, thank you! I added your mod link to the description.

Hello, I have localized your mod into Chinese, which will allow more Chinese-speaking players to enjoy your mod. If you do not agree with this, please contact me and I will remove the language localization patch. Link: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3362641620 .

- Compatibility update for the Tiger update.
- Updated research levels, which determines how much research is required for a tome skill.
-- Arcfire Sorceress -> from Low up to Intermediate
-- Flamesurge -> from Expert down to Intermediate
- Arcfire Typhoon ascended skill now generates 1 more Arcfire hazard
- Arcfire Typhoon combat enchantment, Rampant Arcfire, now generates about 5 less Arcfire hazards

@Fleshless One, thank you! Yes I plan to make more dual tomes. My next tome however is a pure Shadow frost themed tome.

Thank you so much for the tome! It perfectly fits one of my factions with an astral & chaos affinity. Do you plan to do more dual tomes?

@CreeperDelta, thank you! I did not use AI. I hired a voice actress on Fiverr, the link is in the description.

You went the extra mile and did the female voice describing the tome when you unlock it, great job! Did you use AI for that? If so, which one because I'd like to use it for movie trailer.

Cheers and thanks!

Small bug fixes and a cosmetic change for this update.

- Updated the look of the Arcfire Sorceress to differentiate the unit more from the Pyromancer.
- Fixed an issue where the "Invalid Target" tooltip appeared when placing Arcfire hazards on top of a hex with a hazard on it already.
- Fixed a bug where the Pegasus mount didn't appear in the unit icon for the Arcfire Sorceress.
- Fixed an issue where the Arcfire Sorceress wasn't rendering when combined with an alternate culture unit mod.

Ideally the culture unit mod should have been implemented a different way, but it was a quick fix for me to do.

@warriorandtoaster, thanks for the report! Even though I don't change base game files and avoid conflicts with other mods, other mods can still alter the same files that I'm referencing.

I'll review when I get the chance and see if I can make my mod more robust against mods changing base game files.

Using a Mystic Potential culture with Cultural Tome Units and Alternate Cultural Appearance's alternate option for Mystic cultures, the Arcfire Sorceress fails to render correctly. This issue doesn't happen with other mod tomes and their units.

@Uledrith, there are no prerequisites. The Tome of Arcfire should be available as soon as you have access to Tier II tomes. Maybe double check that the mod is loaded? Can you see the tome in the in-game encylopedia or list of tomes?

Are there prerequisites for this? I just played a game, but never saw this Tome as an option.

The spells look amazing, can't wait to try them out!

@gibberingsen, thank you! I'm working on a Tier II frost tome right now.

Make more awesome tome mods!

@Saga, thank you :)

This looks amazing, I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the hard work!
