Wondrous Wizard Levels - Magic skill tree overhaul

Wondrous Wizard Levels is a skill tree overhaul bringing the wizard level mechanic from the table top to Total War: Warhammer.

This version is an upgraded version from the Warhammer 2 version with several new features and full support for the new races.

Overhauled wizard levels for generic Daemon princes.
Daemon Princes start at Wizard Level 1 and will be able to get to Wizard Level 3 through skill points.
Chaos Sorcerer's who ascend to daemonhood will receive a bonus Wizard Level, allowing them to reach level 4.

The original goal was to randomise the spells a character has available in order to force me to use spells I normally wouldn’t. When I began fleshing out the design of the mod I realised this would be an effective way to differentiate spellcasters within a faction and provide an incentive to choose the spellcaster variant of lords.

To achieve this, I have taken the Wizard Level mechanic from table top and made my own twists to it to better fit the style of Total War: Warhammer. So while this is inspired by the same table top mechanic, it is not exactly the same and characters may have different wizard levels than they did on the table top.

New Mechanics: Introduction of Wizard Level 0 and Daemon Prince spell generation.

Better compatibility:All new races are supported, as well as built in support for
Mixu’s Wizard Conversion mod.

New UI: Changes to the recruitment panel necessitated some changes and I decided to bite the bullet and add an icon. The icon will have a colour corresponding to the lore of the character.

Performance: AI will only generate spells when they are interacted with by the player. Fully regenerating spells every turn is overkill when the player isn’t involved. Additionally, new script functionality added by CA has allowed me to remove some of the slow workarounds I relied on for the UI features.


Each spellcaster in the vanilla game, have a wizard level associated with them. The wizard level is the primary indicator of how powerful a spellcaster a character is. This influences the number of spells you have access to.

The skill tree of characters changes depending on their starting wizard level. In general, there are two main types of skill trees.

Hero spellcasters start at level 1 and have all of their level 1 spells (see below) unlocked by default. Skill points need to be spent to unlock a higher wizard level, more spells and improve their existing spells.

Lord spellcasters start at level 3 and have all the level 1 spells and level 3 spells unlocked by default. Skill points can be spent to increase their wizard level or upgrade existing skills.



To better fit with the skill trees in Total War: Warhammer, I’ve divided spells into three categories. This includes:
-The ‘Signature spell’ of a lore. This is the starting spell a character has in the vanilla game.

For the above Metal Herald of Tzeentch Wizard skill tree, the Signature Spell is Searing Doom.

-The ‘Level 1’ spells. These are the next 3 lowest spells in the vanilla skill trees.

For the same Herald of Tzeentch, the highlighted spells are the outlined level 1 spells.

-The ‘Level 3’ spells. Named so because Level 3 wizards have these unlocked by default.


For the Herald of Tzeentch Wizard, because their starting level is 1. The level 3 spells are locked until they unlock Wizard Level 2 and put skill points into the spells.

Note: Skill trees may differ between characters due to their starting wizard level or special rules.

Spell generation is the primary feature of the mod. Each turn a character will generate spells depending on their wizard level (exceptions may apply) and their lore(s) of magic. For characters with one lore of magic they will gain:
1. Their lore attribute, eg for Fire magic, Kindleflame.
2. Their lore’s signature spell, eg for Fire magic, Fireball
3. A number of spells equal to their wizard level that they have unlocked.

3. Is where it will vary depending on the character type and number of skills unlocked. The best way to explain this is with a couple of examples.

On the first turn they are recruited, a new hero spellcaster will gain the skills outlined in 1. and 2. receive 1 additional level 1 spell.

This is because they only have level 1 spells unlocked by default. Over the course of the campaign, this character will level up and unlock their level 2 wizard level and then will have 2 spells available per turn. Assuming they unlock the level 3 spells in their lore, those spells may be generated each turn.


^ These are the spells generated for a Level 1 Slaanesh Aluress. You can see they have their lore attribute (Blissful Rapture), their signature spell (Lash of Slaanesh) and a randomly chosen level 1 spell (Acquiescence).

On their first turn they are recruited, a new lord spell caster will gain the skills outlined in 1. and 2. And receive 3 additional spells chosen from the level 1 and level 3 spells

This is because they have all spells unlocked by default. Over the course of the campaign, this character will level up and eventually unlock their level 4 wizard level and then will have 4 spells available per turn. This will increase the number of extra spells available to 4 per turn.

Note: Characters who are level 3 or higher are guaranteed at least 1 level 3 spell.

^ These are the spells generated for a Level 3 Tempest Ice Witch. She has a lore attribute (Freezing Winds), signature spell (Hailstorm), 2 level 1 spells (Gust of true flight and Swiftwing) and 1 level 3 spell (Hawks of Miska).

Important: The UI may not update immediately. The characters should have the correct spells when they enter battle.

For a full breakdown of how spell generation works, see this Google Doc[docs.google.com] for a more detailed breakdown.

This mod re-organises all of the skill trees for vanilla spellcasters. Any mod changing these magic skill trees will need a compatibility patch.

The Daemon Prince has also had several effects overwritten for their items. New items adding spells will need patches to be supported but should otherwise work.
Daniel Painter (Daemon Prince colour picker mod) is compatible.

Mixu’s Wololo (Wizard converting for Cultist of Tzeentch) is supported and recommended.

Mods adding new spellcasters will not have the new spell generation rules but will otherwise not be impacted and may be used alongside this mod.

Unsure if this works in multiplayer. Please let me know if it works.

The UI may not update immediately. The characters should have the correct spells when they enter a battle.

The spell list will not update in the Daemon Prince customisation menu until you close the menu. This is a performance concession so you aren't constantly generating spells while playing around with equipment.

The ingame spell browser does not display properly.
