Foreword:

A massive thank you to the Baldur's Gate 3 Modding Community for untold amounts of assistance, tutoring, and support. Without the help of other fantastic creators like JuuM, Celes, Kaz, Nellsrelo, and countless others, this project would not have been possible. Also a special thanks to Sensha and the builds chat over at the Larian Studios Discord Server for the feedback and inspiration. 


Overall changes to Way of the Four Elements:
- New spells now unlock at levels 6, 9, and 12
- Way of the Four Elements Monks gain an additional ki point at 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th level. 
- Way of the Four Elements Monk Spells now trigger and can be used with extra attack. 
- All monk spells are now classified as spells, and can be counterspelled, but can be cast while silent and gain the benefits of items that trigger off of spells. 

The goal of this mod is to give Way of the Four Elements a balanced list of options around fire, cold, lightning, and thunder damage, and properly
allow for the class fantasy of elemental strikes and spells without interrupting the core class concept of multiple strikes/attacks, with reductions in
ki cost to lower tier monk spells as you level up, to mimic gaining mastery over the elements. 

This subclass has progression to level 12.
