Rationale

During my first playthrough of Mistlands, the Arbalest fundamentally changed my experience of the game. I love that thing. On subsequent playthroughs I found myself wanting progression-appropriate crossbows to compliment the bows. So I made some 🙂

The reasoning behind the Lighting Bolts and Arrows is similar. I wanted a way to have some fun with Eitr that didn't demand I change armor and weapons.

Lastly, I added the Area Effect bolts to spice things up a bit, give the mod something fun outside the vanilla experience.

Installation

NOTE: Users that are upgrading should delete their config file and run the game to let the plugin generate a new one. Settings can and do change between versions, and old configs may be incompatible.
