Gothic 1 Remake Mana Scales Spell Damage Mod v1.0

                    
Gothic 1 Remake gives warriors more damage with higher Strength and archers more damage with higher Dexterity, but mages receive no scaling benefit from investing in a larger mana pool. The Mana Scales Spell Damage mod fixes this by making every point of max mana add a configurable percentage bonus to spell damage, defaulting to 1% per mana point. Furthermore, the bonus is tied to your maximum mana pool by default so spending mana in combat never reduces your damage output mid-fight. Consequently, building a large mana pool now rewards the mage with meaningful and visible scaling just like every other class.
Default Scaling

25 mana → ×1.25 (+25% damage)
50 mana → ×1.50 (+50% damage)
100 mana → ×2.00 (+100% damage)
150 mana → ×2.50 (+150% damage)

Affected Spells

Fire Bolt, Fireball (all levels), Storm of Fire, Fire Rain
Ball Lightning (all levels), Chain Lightning
Ice Bolt, Ice Block, Ice Wave
Fist of Wind, Storm Fist
Pyrokinesis, Breath of Death, Destroy Undead, Uriziel

Warum Sie diesen Mod brauchen
This mod is useful if you are playing a mage and want your stat investment to feel as meaningful as it does for other classes. The configurable formula also lets you switch to current mana scaling for a riskier resource-sensitive playstyle, or adjust the curve with one of the provided presets. Additionally, the actual modified damage value is visible in rune and scroll descriptions in-game so you always know exactly how hard your spells hit.
