(Very) Fast Casting Mages

Reduces Attack and Control spells' cooldowns by 2 turns, for Aerotheurge, Geomancer, Hydropsophist and Pyrokinetic.

Exception for spells having a 3 turns CD, they get a 1 turn reduction instead of 2, to prevent non-tactical spam.
On top of that, Searing Daggers, Ice fan, Fossil Strike and Electric Discharge get a 1 turn cooldown.
Mages are finally a force to fear.

Doesn't effect NPCs' spells.

NB : You can get a version where Searing Daggers, Ice fan, Fossil Strike and Electric Discharge don't get a 1 turn cooldown here, if this better fits your tastes

(Both mods are obviously not compatible)

From my point of view, these Magic schools are underpowered, when trying to control and kill enemies : too many turns pass between each spell usage, forcing the mage to rely on his weak staff(s) to deal minor damage.
Melee characters can already deal massive damage even with their skills on cooldown, Hunstman does the same once on high ground, and necro's strength is great.

In comparison, mages feel Meh.

Note : I didn't touch the spells linked with other schools (for example the blood rain, linking hydro and necro), as I only want to buff the weak magic schools.
Same goes for healing and armor granting spells, they already are useful as is.

Frequently Asked Questions :

- "Can you make a version of this mod which does X instead of Y?"
I'm currently working on multiple mods and don't have time for personnal requests, sorry.

- "When loading the mod for the first time, my game takes a long time to load".
This is normal, you'll have to wait up to 10 minutes, but it'll only happen once.
