Blade & Sorcery is one of the best VR games available and is still improving. As the name suggests, melee weapons are a big part of the gameplay, but the spell casting is where the game gets interesting. In the vanilla game, players start with just three spells: Fire, Lightning, and Gravity, but by utilizing mods, players can add many more. Raise fallen enemies to fight as thralls or freeze time to take a break; fans have all new ways to enjoy Blade & Sorcery.
Since there are only a few standard spells in the game, mod spells will be featured here as well to flesh this list out. A mod is an external download that allows users to change a game from its original state. For many people, modding is a hobby, but it is vital in keeping games relevant and improving them. The Blade & Sorcery modding community is very active and immensely creative. Take a look at the list below and check out the most liked spell mods available from NexusMods.
10 Healing Spell - It's Just A Flesh Wound
When fighting hordes of enemies, bruises, and scrapes will occur, and here is where the Healing Spell mod comes in. In the vanilla game, players use health potions when damaged. However, Healing Spell can provide the same result as health potions but with added benefits. Using magic to heal is much more immersive and allows players to heal during a battle with ease. The spell can be used in one of four ways. Regardless of the technique, players must charge the spell before deciding which gesture will cast the spell.
Furthermore, using the spell rather than health potions means users can free up inventory slots for more weapons. Healing Spell is a mod created by Extract, Maximus, and Chillio X. Players can download it here.
9 Cosmic - Celestial Combat
Cosmic is a spell mod that adds several space-themed spells to the game. Using Savage Star, the player has the power to create a star and fire it at unfortunate foes. Or, use Impulse to reduce the velocity of incoming projectiles and redirect them at will. Disarming Shock will stun all nearby enemies. And Gravity's Pull can reverse gravity, be warned, motion sickness can occur with this mod.
Casting The Twins summons a black hole and a white hole. The black hole sucks everything towards it, and the white hole repels everything away. This mod turns the game into something reminiscent of Portal. Players can download the mod here courtesy of Lyneca, the mod's creator.
8 Titan - Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum
This spell changes the game completely. With Titan, the character size is at least doubled but can be scaled much, much bigger. When the player is a titan, they can still perform magic to defeat enemies or simply use their immense body as a weapon. When in titan form, health regenerates automatically, but this spell also allows the player to eat smaller titans or NPCs to regain health faster.
It's not a perfect mod, and increasing the character size too much can cause complications. However, when used within limits, it is easy to see why NexusMods users rate it highly. This mod is a creation of Lilhusky and can be found here.
7 Sunlight Spear - Hurl The Sunlight Spear
This mod, created by Schmitto, is a homage to the overwhelmingly popular game, Dark Souls. In Dark Souls, there are a lot of powerful weapons, but the sunlight spear is a miracle that allows players to wield rays of sunlight. This spell creates a bolt of sunlight in the shape of a spear.
The player can either launch a sunlight spear at the enemies or the ground, sending them flying through the air. While the animation still leaves a lot to desire, the chance to use a Dark Souls attack while fully immersed in VR makes up for it.
6 Blood Magic - Nobody Makes Me Bleed My Own Blood
This mod, created by LeoVanceMusic and Davi3684, adds more than just spells it also comes with a mini-quest. The player must choose between the dark side or the light as each unlocks their style of spells. Dark blood magic focuses on offensive spells, including blood weaponry. Light blood magic is more defensive, offering the ability to heal. The quest system works alongside the ability system and will reward players with either light or dark points, depending on the completed quests.
So, the choice is to submit to the dark side and utilize some blood weapons or accept the light side for passive healing. Both options are worth exploring!
5 Spectral Armory - A Ghost Doesn't Need A Sword
Spectral Armory is an amazing immersive mod, created by GrooveSlinger, that grants players access to a new selection of weaponry. Similar in style to the powerful bound weapons in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, the spectral armory consists of ghostly blades and ethereal bows.
There is a lot to this mod. Weapon strength is customizable by adjusting the spell's mana cost. One feature that completes the immersion is being able to summon weapons using hand gestures. To do this, the player simply holds the trigger and performs the relevant hand movement. This mod blends perfectly with the game's style and allows for fluid weapon changes.
4 Dagger Bending - Dagger Destruction
Dagger Bending is a one-stop-shop mod that comes with its very own tutorial. Accessed from the in-game map, the tutorial walks first-time players through the mods' many abilities. Summon a single dagger to launch at the enemies or form a tower shield of daggers for protection. Furthermore, players can imbue weapons with magical energy, like fire or lightning, adding further damage and lots more fun.
This mod is another example of Lyneca's work. This mod also pairs well with Cosmic, another creation by Lyneca, allowing bulk dagger creation that players can throw through black holes.
3 Dark Chains - Use The Force Choke
This mod, created by Ebediam, is a simple yet effective one. This mod grants sith-lord power, meaning players can finally join the dark side.
Using Dark Chains players can force-choke enemies and emulate Star Wars fight scenes. The mod is not limited to force-chokes though players can use Dark Chains to effortlessly launch enemies through the air or lock out their limbs. Why not pick up that sword from the other side of the map if there isn't a weapon at hand? With these new telekinetic powers, anything is possible.
2 Ice Spell - Ice To Meet You
Ice Spell adds the missing element to the game's vanilla spell arsenal, Ice! The vanilla game includes Fire and Lightning spells, but now players can also freeze enemies: those poor NPCs. The Ice Spell can do anything that the original elemental spells can do, like imbue power to weapons. However, this mod is not just a simple element spell. It adds a skill tree that allows players to level up and max out the new skill tree.
To gain experience just take down enemies with the new icy powers courtesy of Davi3684, the mod creator.
1 Time Stop Spell - The VR Pause Button
Sometimes VR gaming can be a big test in fitness, even for fit people! So, here is another creation from Lilhusky: Time Stop Spell. Blade and Sorcery is an active game and sometimes there's no shame in taking a minute to recover. Using Time Stop Spell, players can rest up safely, without having to worry about the enemies sneaking attacks in.
The spell has some in-game advantages too. While time is paused enemies can be manipulated, so players can even set up incredible traps or evade incoming attacks. And the best thing about this mod is combining it with others in this list. Combining Dagger Bending with Time Stop Spell is guaranteed fun.
Blade & Sorcery is currently available on PC.
