Azata Zippy Magic Superpower with Buffs about bubblebuffs HOT 8 CLOSED

For my current playthrough, my 24-hour buff routine includes over 200 spell casts. I simply can't function without a feature to help manage so much buffing by a team including an Azata Archanist.

So this is a must-have feature for me. Instead of waiting, I went ahead and taught myself how to mod, and implemented this feature. I hope this is helpful to others, and I've submitted a pull request back to this repository so that others may use too.

This pull request adds a new option "Control Azata Zippy Magic Secondary Buff" as seen in screenshot:

When this checkbox is checked, an Azata secondary buff using Zippy Magic will no longer be cast on a random ally outside the functioning of the mod. Rather selecting any two characters to receive the buff will only count for 1 spell cast.

For example, in the screenshot, 10 characters are selected to receive the Mage Armor spell. Using the Azata option, this will count for only 5 casts of the spell from my main character. If 9 characters were selected, then 5 casts would be counted. If 8 characters were selected, then 4 casts would be counted. And so on...

If the Azata option is not checked, then 10 casts would be performed as usual. However, your Azata would actually cast the spell 20 times, with half of those being wasted. So the idea in providing this option is to prevent wasting this wonderful Azata superpower.

This pull request also includes updates to the calculation of available spells to accommodate when the Azata option is checked. For example, my main character may cast 14 level 1 spells. With Azata Zippy Magic, if the Azata cast all 14 as buffs, then that would allow for a total of 28 level 1 buffs to be cast. Checking the Azata option, for say Mage Armor + Magic Weapon Primary + Magic Weapon Secondary, will correctly allow for selecting 28 targets to receive those spells from the Azata. The portrait highlights, casting limits, and calculations displayed for each spell should be correct.

I've also tested that this works correctly for both instant buffing and buffing with animations.

I hope this helps! Let me know if any issues in the pull request :)
