 ===== 1) Using Debug Mod =====
+{{ ::screenshots:debug-mod-spells.png?nolink&400|}}
-===== 2) Using a custom map =====
+The debug mod is a [[mods|mod]] intended for debugging the behaviour of Dominions 5. It removes level restrictions for all spells and magic items. In addition, the mod introduces five new spells to help debug. The new spells are (1) Super Wish, (2) Super GoR, (3) Super Divine Name, (4) Contact Debug Sensei and (5) Eyes of Debug. Make sure that you take an awake pretender with at least one point in astral, so you can contact the Debug Sensei.
-===== 3) Summoning units with spells =====
+  - Super Wish - Research 0, Astral 1, one pearl - you get to cast wish as per this page [[wish|Wish]].
+  - Super Divine Name - Research 0, Astral 1, one pearl - turns a unit into a commander as the spell Divine Name. Specifically it works on mindless units.
+  - Super Gift of Reason - Research 0, Astral 1, one pearl - Turns a unit into a commander as the spell Gift of Reaons.  Only works on units with a mind.
+  - Contact Debug Sensei - Research 0, Astral 1, one pearl - creates a human mage with 9 in all paths that also generates 10 pearls a turn.
+  - Eyes of Debug - Research 0, Astral 1, one pearl - same as Eyes of God.
+Notes:
+  - If used in combat, the Debug Sensei will cast any spell in the game without research.  This will make combat simulation useless if you send them into a fight.
+  - The mod sets all research to level zero.  This may not be helpful. Thus a variation of the mod has been created that removes it. [[https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kMaDkZb-4iMe4MjMwSm3po1GAlINmhXk|Debug Mod No Research]]
+The [[Dominions 3]] version of the debug mod was made by **ryo_akashi**, and has been edited many times since. Credit to all authors.

+===== 2) Using Anton's arena map generator=====
+//**Anton** has created [[https://utils-dom5.com.de/|this website]] to facilitate the creation of test battles. The website is easy to use, but needs a bit of setup the first time you use the tool. Here is a small step-by-step setup guide.//
+  - To use the tool you need to download the [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1404827698|Arena map]] by DasTactic.
+  - You then need to find map in your steam workshop folder. On PC the default path should be something like
+    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\722060\1404827698
+  - Copy the files to your Dominions map folder. On PC you can find it at:
+    * %APPDATA%\Dominions5\maps
+Now you are ready to use the tool.
+When creating a test game do the following:
+  - Create a copy of the Arena.map file in your maps folder and rename it.
+  - Make a custom map using the website with the troops you want on each side. Use the [[https://larzm42.github.io/dom5inspector/|Dom Inspector]] to locate the right ID's when in doubt.
+  - Copy the text into your copy of the Arena.map file.
+  - Launch your test game.
+===== 3) Create custom summoning spells with 7thPath =====

 Debug mod is great but setting up armies is frankly still a chore.  But with some very simple modding of your own you can greatly reduce the burden.  This guide assumes you already know how to use debug mod but don’t know how to do simple modding.
