** OVERVIEW **

This is a lightweight mod that does a few little changes to the psi perks.
The aim is nerfing the Psi Operative to a level where he doesn’t quite dominate the playing field as much as he does in vanilla.

This is done by limiting his access to psi powers with something like a mana pool.

Every use of a psi perk will reduce the Psi Op’s maximum Will score for the rest of the mission by a certain amount.
Once he reaches a low threshold of Will, he will become unable to use that perk for the rest of the mission.

** DETAILS **

There are three tiers of active psi perks:
Minor: Fuse, Insanity, Inspire
Medium: Stasis, Soulfire
Major: Null Lance, Domination, Void Rift

Minor perks will spend 5 Will on use and require of minimum of 10 Will to be usable.
Medium perks will spend 10 Will on use and require of minimum of 15 Will to be usable.
Major perks will spend 15 Will on use and require of minimum of 20 Will to be usable.

Passive perks (Solace, etc) and triggered perks (Sustain, etc) are currently not affected by this mod.
Neither are custom perks from other mods.

Both of those are planned for the future, though.

Templar perks aren’t affected and that isn’t planned, either. Templar already have to spend Focus.

As an additional change, this mod removes charges from Domination, it can now be used as often as you want… while you can pay the Will cost.

** COMPATIBILITY **

As long as you use WotC, you should be able to run this mod, either to nerf the vanilla PsiOp or in addition to other psi mods. If you use other mods modifying Psi, that should be fine, however any custom perks introduced by those mods will not be affected. This mod only changes the vanilla psi perks.

** INI EDITING **

I included a XComWillAsMana.ini in this mod that allows you to change the Will Loss and Will Threshold values. I included some notes in that file.

** PERMISSIONS **

Any modder is allowed to pilfer, re-use or re-upload any of WaMs assets, scripts, doodads and thingamajigs in any way or form that he wants to. I don’t care.
