Magical Potential and Mages mod

— Overview —

This mod will add a special mage class to the game. These mage class has two disciplines, each with their own abilities and bonuses. Magical potential is rare (1/1000) chance of random birth, and mages are even more rare. In order to advanced into mage disciplines you will need to have the "Magic Potential" trait. (Console name for this is basemage) Once you have this trait if you have over 15 learning and at least age 18 an event will trigger which will allow you to choose your path.

—- Breeding —-

There is a much greater chance to pass magical potential over to a child if both parents have the trait. However, there is still a small chance to pass trait if only one parent has magical potential. Just because someone has magical potential doesn’t mean that they will become a mage, it only adds learning ability.

—- Note —-

AI will use combat abilities but will not use life steal of donate life.

Please note the requirements for each trait above as I have created events to remove any illegal traits. This was created to prevent the AI from randomly having only the Archon trait. If someone is under 13 learning they will have all traits removed if they have any class without magical potential they will have those classes removed. The only trait AI can have with under 13 learning is magical potential.

— Comparability —

Designed and tested on base game and A Game of Thrones mod. (I play AGOT exclusively so I am 100% sure of it working)
Should work with any other mods since this mod only adds new traits and events without changing any existing events.
Save game compatible, although if you remove the mod CK2 may find a random trait to fill in for the magic traits.

— Suggestions —

I welcome any suggestions that will improve this mod. I can adjust the stat bonuses if you feel that they unbalance your game.
