This is a power booster I created by combining the powers from Coney's XML1 Jean Booster, with powers created and spliced in from an early booster created by user '-phoenix-'.

This mod uses Jean's vanilla animation skeleton.
I had hoped to utilize the skeleton provided from Coney's mod to give some of Jean's abilities a new look. However, because the new animations were overwriting a set of anims that I needed for this mod to work, I had to abandon the idea.

The mod itself features new visuals created by me utilizing the VFX that Coney managed to pull from XML1, new melee attacks that provide different visuals to spice up gameplay, and new powers and passives that range from mental immunity, controlling the minds of enemies, setting foes ablaze, or transforming Jean into the Dark Phoenix.

I also decided to leave the editable text files in the Data Folder for those who have experience with modding, so that they can make their own changes to Jean's kit wherever they feel it necessary.

DISCLAIMER : Using different skins other than the ones featured in the booster can cause issues with transforming back. To fix this, you'll have to manually hex-edit any new skin you want to use.
