Improved Witchcraft

Ever felt that the Grand Rite was a bit dull and boring? Have you wished you could have more from it? The Improved Witchcraft Mod seeks to unlock the true potential of witchcraft, transforming the Grand Rite from a simple activity into a new expanded experience.

Delve deeper into the occult with new intents for your rituals, from seeking powerful boons from otherworldly entities to unleashing devastating curses upon those who have wronged you.

• Three New Grand Rite Intents: Change the purpose and outcome of your Grand Rite with the "Seek Blessing","Hex Enemy" and "Seek Forbidden Knowledge" intents.
• Added Activity Options: Choose the level of extravagance for your rite, from a humble, secret gathering to a grand ceremony that will have the very stars bearing witness. Will effect opinion gain of guests and your stress loss.
• New Flavorful Events for intents: Experience new narrative events tied to your chosen intent, with a range of outcomes that can empower or endanger your character.
• Unique Character Modifiers & Boons: Your rituals now grant tangible rewards, from temporary boosts to your skills to powerful, long-lasting boons.
• Leveled Witch Trait: As your experience grows, so does your power. Progress from a simple Witch to an Adept and perhaps even a Master, unlocking more potent magical effects.
• 2 New Cultural Traditions: New witch-themed cultural traditions, "Occult Practices, Folk Healers" to further integrate witchcraft into your society.
• A New Court Position: Court Alchemist, big thanks to Ledmano for letting me integrate his mod.
• A New Witchcraft Law New Witchcraft law under the laws named "Worshipped" with many usefull bonuses.
• Court Position Mod Integration: My new Court Herbalist mod goes hand-in-hand and designed with Improved Witchcraft in mind. You will need Folk Healers tradition for Court Herbalist to show up
• 7 Language Support

When you are using both Court Herbalist and Improved Witchcraft, you will need Folk Healers tradition for this court position to show up.

Witch Coven system in CK3 was fun and all but after a while hosting a grand rite turns into repeating boring step, host grand rite, get a random perk point etc. I always wanted some more variety and I believe it will take some time Paradox will make some witch related content and expand upon it. My goal was to add more flavor and to make players feel like they have more choices with risks and rewards.

• While I have tested it, there may be balancing issues or minor bugs. All feedback and suggestions are welcome!
• As per Dallan‘s suggestion decided to add the bonuses of the tenet to a newly added Law under the Witchcraft Laws named "Worshipped". Has the same bonuses with the tenet with much more compatibility.
  If you were using the Tenet Submod you don’t need to do anything
• Court Herbalist mod is not acctually required but it goes well with it. I designed with Improved Witchcraft in mind.
