======> ABOUT | READ ME FIRST <======
This mod expands psychic and biomutation lances by letting you combine them into stronger, more efficient versions. Instead of carrying multiple single-use lances, you can merge them into one item with either higher charges or area-of-effect capabilities.
The goal is simple: reduce inventory clutter and give you more control in mid to late game combat.
======> CORE FEATURES <======

These versions combine three lances into one and apply their effect in a radius instead of a single target.
- Hits multiple pawns at once

High-Capacity Lances
