Ethereal Glow
by Tomasapanv0.6.0
A small visual mod (purely cosmetic) for Slay the Spire 2 that wraps every Ethereal card in an animated smoky halo, so you can spot them in hand at a glance instead of reading keyword text.

Description
Description
Ethereal cards are easy to miss until they vanish at the end of your turn. This mod marks them with a grey border and smoky overlay, so you can pick them out of your hand at a glance instead of reading the keyword text on every card. It is purely cosmetic.
Installation instructions
Vortex: click Mod Manager Download and let Vortex do the rest.
By hand: extract the archive and drop the EtherealGlow folder into the game's mods folder, so you end up with: Slay the Spire 2\mods\EtherealGlow\EtherealGlow.dll
Main features
- Animated smoke banked against the card's edge, kept clear of the middle so the art and rules text stay readable
- A shimmering silver border tracing the card
- The game's cyan "playable" highlight recoloured for Ethereal cards, so they stand out in a crowded hand
- Cards that gain or lose Ethereal mid-combat update instantly
- Card costs stay visible
- Every colour, strength and speed is adjustable in EtherealGlow.config.jsonc. Copy that file to %APPDATA%\SlayTheSpire2\ and your settings will survive mod updates.
Requirements
None beyond the game itself.
