The Shamanic Dance is one of the more prominent features of the shaman class. It allows the shaman to call forth an endless supply of spirits to fight on his or her side. However, the drawbacks of the original version are severe. You can't move, attack, cast spells, use items or do anything else that may break the dance.
This mod makes an attempt to rebalance the Shamanic Dance by allowing the shaman to move at reduced speed while performing the dance. To counteract this improvement somewhat, spirits won't listen to any shamans anymore but their own master.
A second component, "Expanded Shamanic Dance for high level characters", unlocks another tier of spirits at level 24 and enables the spirits to protect the shaman from normal weapons and low level spell effects while the dance is performed.
A third component, "Add spell "Shamanic Pact", adds the new level 6 spell "Shamanic Pact" to the shaman's spellbook. It allows the caster to resurrect a target as spirit after its death and control it for a limited amount of time (see detailed spell description below). Note: This component can be installed independently from the main component.
A fourth component, "Apply Shamanic Dance improvements to Shaman kits", attempts to modify the Shamanic Dance of available Shaman kits to behave like the dance of the main class. It should be installed after all mods that are providing Shaman kits. A list of kits that have been confirmed to be compatible is included in the mod's readme.
A fifth component, "Shaman-specific items", scatters several items exclusively for shamans all over the region. The list includes several artifacts that were originally created for BG:EE - Siege of Dragonspear as well as a couple of new items. This component is available for BG2:EE, EET and IWD:EE.
