Overview
[b]Psycast Precepts for VPE[/b] adds Ideology-style control to [b]Vanilla Psycasts Expanded[/b]. Pick which psycast paths your colony believes in. Paths without a matching precept show as [i]Locked: Ideology[/i]; paths you approve behave normally. If you use [i]no[/i] psycast precepts, VPE works exactly as vanilla VPE (original lock reasons show).
Key Features
[b]- Colony-controlled psycasts:[/b] Gate each psycast path behind a simple Ideology precept.
[b]- Clear feedback:[/b] Disallowed paths say [i]Locked: Ideology[/i]; allowed paths and default VPE locks display as usual.
[b]- Drop-in friendly:[/b] No micro-management; just choose precepts.
[b]- Dogmatic option:[/b] A stricter precept that limits psycasts to approved paths only.
[b]- Optional storyteller spawns:[/b] Toggle a setting that lets [i]all[/i] storytellers spawn psycaster NPCs like VPE’s Basilicus Bestower.
How it works (simple)
Choose psycast precepts in your ideology. Pawns can unlock and use paths you’ve approved. If a path isn’t approved, it’s shown as locked by ideology. If you picked no psycast precepts at all, nothing changes—VPE behaves like normal.
Settings
• [b]Storyteller psycasters:[/b] Enable the option to allow any storyteller to create psycaster events similar to Basilicus Bestower.
• Settings are found in the mod options menu and can be changed mid-save.
Compatibility
• Works with existing saves (adding/removing is generally safe; removing mid-run may revert path access to VPE’s defaults).
• UI/tooltip mods: should be fine.
• Other psycast mods: Should work with other modded VPE-style psycast paths.
Performance
Lightweight Harmony patches; no constant ticking. Only checks when the psycast UI/logic needs it.

[b]A:[/b] Then nothing changes—VPE shows its normal lock reasons and rules.
[b]Q:[/b] Can I start strict and relax later?
[b]A:[/b] Yes. Change precepts the usual Ideology ways; the UI updates accordingly.
[b]Q:[/b] Do I need Basilicus Bestower to get psycaster NPCs?
[b]A:[/b] No—enable the storyteller setting to allow any storyteller to spawn psycasters similarly.
