Soul Blazer - Magician Mode (SNES) Romhack

Since the Master doesn’t trust you with swords, your pokes and swings with them will not harm any creature even monsters. Fortunately, your spells will work and have a slight boost. Be the best Magician you can be and defeat Deathtoll!

I do plan to add more in the future, but in the meantime, you can play with this. Requires an unmodified US rom of Soul Blazer.

Updates:

Updates Title Screen to indicate mode
1st Lair is cleared of monsters (since your sword won’t hurt them)
Spells are 0-cost
Swords no longer do damage, only spells work
Certain enemies need to be defeated while specific swords are equipped
Bosses can be damaged with spells, but sword damage is used instead (power bracelet/super bracelet do double the damage like the sword as well)
Phoenix and Thunder Ring’s blasts are not affected
Deathtoll can be damaged with non-Phoenix spells

Fight against 2nd boss. Swords won't work, but Light Arrows and other spells do!

Tornado costs 0 gems to cast, as do the other spells.
