Hannag's Disciple - A Better Gwydian Rince - by Galgamos

Mechanical Overview:

Gwydian Rince is an NPC that often dies for seemingly silly reasons. After keeping him safe for most of the fight, he just randomly dies to the necrofire by trying to reach an enemy.

This mod grants him 2 new unique skills to slightly alleviate this issue and make the fight slightly more fair:

"Hannag's Teachings" makes him immune to the 'Burning' and 'Necrofire' statuses, and significantly increases his fire resistance, while also improving his earth resistance by a small amount.
Beware, however, as he only has this buff every other turn, should he decide to cast it.

"Gwydian's Siphon" functions similarly to "Backlash" and is available once per turn. This means he spends less time running to his targets, which results in less time spent stepping through necrofire.
It inflicts slightly higher damage, clears surfaces at Gwydian's location if he manages to hit his target, and it grants him magic armour recovery based on the damage he inflicts.

Together, these two skills make Gwydian Rince slightly more durable. The fight remains challenging, but should now be less frustrating.

I sincerely thank doctorbeetus, Dr. Pawsworth, Norbyte, LaughingLeader, Focus and all those whose names have slipped my mind, but who helped me when I had questions.
Also, thanks to Odinblade for getting me onto the Larian Discord server in the first place, which is the spot where I found many useful guides and resources, as well as all the aforementioned people. :)
