This component is independent of the other components, and modifies some of the original spells:

#### Magic Missiles

#### Dimension Door
Like dozens of other wizards in the game, you now can target any nearby place you've already visited. There no longer needs to be a clear path within the caster's viewing distance that leads to the destination-area. You can select any place within the area where you've been already. (This component doesn't include scrolls to learn the spell, if you don't play a spellshaper you need another mod, or use Shadowkeeper to learn the spell or get the scroll).

### Tips
- Rhialto will always spawn. It doesn't matter which class is the main character.
- How to kill him on low levels, (BG1 ironman):
- gather a larger party
- spread, run, shoot
- In pansy mode, Rhialto is in the actual Candlekeep area, not in the area where Gorion is killed.

### Report issues

- Check [not bugs/known issues](docs/known_issues.md).
- Check [reported issues](https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-wildmage/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue).
- If it's not present there, file a new one.

#### Not bugs/known issues
- "Summon Cow" occasionally damages every creature in the whole area. This seems to be hard-coded and intended by Bioware. It also happens with the wild surge and the original 2nd level "Easter Egg"-spell.
- Spellshaper *does not* get extra attacks from weapon specialization. If you're unhappy with that, post [here](https://github.com/BGforgeNet/bg2-wildmage/issues/2)
- "Weave Spell" acts a bit strange with wizard spells from other mods: as long as you still have original Bioware-spells or spells from this mod memorized, using "Weave Spell" will drain the modded spells from memory just like the others, but when there are only modded spells memorized, you can't use the "Weave Spell" ability.
- Items that raise the number of Spell-Slots, when worn by a Spellshaper, might cause him to forget all spells of tbe modified level upon resting. This seems to be an engine-glitch, and I have no idea how to fix it. The solution is simply NOT to wear such items (they definitely don't work for a Spellshaper)
- When a Spellshaper is level-drained, he may get bonus-spell-slots, when the game resets his number of spells. Once he is restored to the old level, the number of spells is also restored. The only way to "fix" this seems to grant the Spellshaper permanent immunity to level-drain...
- Right after a Spellshaper advanced to 20th level, he is stunned for a second. This happens on purpose, to prevent you from equipping a Ring of Wizardry while the "Hand"-item (which normally prevents you from using Metamagic items) is exchanged in order to actualize the char's number of memorizable spells.

### Changelog
- 2.beta3

- Under the hood: dos2unix, lowercase, split components into multiple files, use newer weidu syntax, shorten where possible, streamline scripts handling Rhialto appearance and items transfer
- 1.7: the original
