This mod is my attempt to implement the Way of the Four Elements Remastered homebrew. I think this should at least make the subclass better compared to vanilla. Not every ability was implemented, and some abilities will function a bit different than how they are specified.

You will be able to upcast valid spells. The implementation for upcasting is not ideal in terms of UI. Also due to the nature of the implementation some spells I couldn't really make upcastable without it looking like a mess, so I didn't. Unless Larian decide themselves to implement Ki Point upcasting, it will have to do. Most spells that people would want to be upcastable will be upcastable. I am also providing an optional file to "fix" The Spellsparkler staff not working with Monk spells.

You can find more information about the abilities/changes below.


- Abilities will be learned at levels 3, 6, 8 and 10. Because the cost of abilities is the same, you will get an additional Ki Point at levels 8, 9, 10 and 11.
- Water Whip is a Bonus Action and costs 1 Ki Point, but because you can't upcast it, you will be able to use a spell on the same turn.
- Some abilities you won't be able to upcast, but they will still benefit from Improved Elemental Casting, which is learned at level 8.

• Absorb Elements
• Hold Person
• Chromatic Orb
• Elemental Weapon
• Ray of Frost
• Shocking Grasp

- Fangs of the Fire Snake and Fist of Unbroken Air will grant your unarmed attacks reach for as long as the passive is toggled on. You will get the option to spend a Ki Point for the special effect only for the next unarmed attack that hits on that turn (1 time, 0 if you miss all attacks). I suggest using Unlocked Unarmed Strike mod.
- Water Jet won't have the secondary effect of being able to move creatures where you want, instead it will push enemies away from you. Allies won't be pushed.
- Pyrotechnics smoke cloud will function as a Fog Cloud instead. It will last 6 turns and in 4.5m radius, instead of 10 turns and 6m for the smoke.
- Spellfist Stance will be default, just like in vanilla.
- Shaping of the Ice (ice box) will be a default learn at level 3 and cost 1 action point. I see no use in making this take a spell slot or use Ki Points because you can just carry a chest in your inventory.
