  Scenario 3 Reimagined: Spells
---------------------------------
v. 1.1
(c) Lyaka 2026

An add-on mod for Scenario 3: Reimagined, featuring new spells, new elements, new items, and more!

Scenario 3: Reimagined is required to use this mod. It will not work correctly without Sc3: Reimagined enabled. 

This readme contains an overview of the changes introduced in this mod. For details, see the included spreadsheet, or discover them by playing!

RESTORED CONTENT: This mod restores the unused eighth element, now named Gravity, and the unused spell, Chant. Two spells that were previously enemy-only are now also usable by the player. 

NEW SPELLS: Seven entirely new spells have been added to the game, including three Gravity spells (tier 1, tier 2, and summon); tier 1 earth and dark offensive spells;  and four additional tier 2 spells for Wind, Earth, Dark, and Ice elements, joining the existing tier 2 fire spell (Inferno) and Light spell (Shining). (Notes: The Wind and Ice spells were previously enemy-only but have been rebalanced to put them in line with other tier 2 spells. The highest levels of Spark and Gravity are already equivalent to Tier 2 and thus new spells have not been added for them.) 

REBALANCED SPELL LEARNING LISTS: Multiple characters have had their spell lists revamped, including reimaginings for ninjas and commanders. Spell changes have been extended backwards to Synbios' and Medion's forces. 

REBALANCED WEAPON SPELLS: Top-tier ankhs, rods, and wands now confer tier 2 spells for magic users. Additionally, top tier bladed weapons (knives, swords, rapiers, blades, and katanas) now also confer spells, allowing heroes and ninjas to extend their spellcasting capabilities in the end game. 

NEW ORBS: The Freeze Orb has been rebalanced to cast the Tier 2 Ice spell, and has been joined by four other orbs, casting the Tier 2 Earth, Wind, Fire, and Dark spells. (Notes: The Tier 2 Light spell (Shining) remains Gracia-only; Spark and Gravity do not have separate Tier 2 spells and therefore do not have Orbs.)

GRACIA REIMAGINED: Gracia can now use Ankhs, Rods, and Wands. The second level Staff of Besem has been renamed Virge of Besem and given new art to allow it to stand out from the first level Staff of Besem. Gracia will retain his weapon during the battle against Galm (battle 22), nor will he receive the Virge of Besem immediately upon promotion. He will retain whatever his equipped weapon was during the second Trial of Ark hill. The Virge of Besem can be found in Bowlet instead. 

Details can be found in spells.xlsx, for those who want a guide to the additions!

Compatibility with all other optional mods has not been tested and is not guaranteed. This mod is NOT compatible with Lyaka's Scenario 3 Randomizer.
