BM Alternative Miscast Nerf

Alternative Miscast – Minor Unit Disruption with No Damage

• A variant of my original Alternative Miscast but with a smaller radius and less knockback effect. Overall, this provides you with an alternative miscast for all Lores of Magic and their Spells to provide a more interesting and impactful experience to miscasting. Both you and the AI will have this alternative miscast. The only spell excluded is the Dark Elves Soul Stealer spell, as it has 100% miscast and its own specific miscast to deal with healing.
  
• If you liked the idea of the original mod but found it too extreme, this should be a much better fit.

• [Design Issue] Due to the animations provided to the cavalry units, they are only slightly knocked back, while flying units are not affected. I have tried a variety of methods to change this but have not been able to find a solution.
  
• [Bug] Sometimes random individual characters or some models within the blast radius will be unaffected. Tried playing around with a few values to stop this from occurring but so far it is something that is just going to happen from time to time. I like to think of these individuals as being more magically attuned or resistant.

• Works in any game mode.
  
• Save Game Compatible and can be removed at any time.
  
• As long as none of the mods you have alter miscasts specifically, this will work with any other mods.

Overall, this is a variant of my Altnerative Miscast mod based on requests by community member Darkness. The main changes include:

• Miscast Explosion is a third of original size.
  
• Does not affect larger than Troll sized models.

Therefore, this MOD makes it so whenever someone miscasts, no damage is taken, but any units within the small radius around the wizard that are man sized will be blasted away, while larger troll sized creatures and horses will be staggered and larger units and flying will not be affected.

• [Skill Based Change in Difficulty] With the change to miscasting, a poorly timed miscast could compromise a portion of your line on the battlefield, while the AI could end up causing the same problems for themselves. Thus, depending on how you adapt to the use of this mod, it could make battles easier or more difficult.

For anyone interested in modding or would like to make a variant of this Mod please check out the Change Notes for details about how I made this mod. I did this to improve the readability of my Mod description but still wanted to provide modding details for those who are interested.

Please rate this mod and ask questions to help others of the community know what you think. Constructive feedback is always appreciated :)
