Sun Beam Mod

A custom spell mod for Mage Arena that summons a powerful pillar of fire from the sky.

Spell Effects

• Summons a large pillar of fire that deals 25 damage per second to all players within its area.
• The beam slowly expands over its duration, increasing its effective range.
• Features a dynamic visual effect with sound, rotation, and fade-out.

Requirements

• BepInEx: Required modding framework (version 5.4.21.0 or later).
• ModSync: Essential for multiplayer compatibility. Recommended for all players, though only the host needs it for the mod to function.
• BlackMagicAPI: The API for adding custom spells. Developed by [@D1GQ]

Installation

1. Ensure BepInEx is installed in your Mage Arena game directory.
2. Install ModSync and BlackMagicAPI if not already present, following their respective instructions.
3. Install the Sun Beam Mod via Thunderstore.

Known Issues
