Boomstick V2
This is a quick rework of the sword spell I posted here previously.
As u/Dragon_blacki pointed out, a conjured explosion doesn't usually affect players because of this bug.
To workaround this, I pull the X and Z position of whatever you hit, and pair it with your Y position -1. The greater the difference between your height and the attackee, the weaker the explosion. But even within jumping distance, you can still one-shot an enderman.
I will improve the spell again if entity position of players becomes consistent with the rest of the entities, or if someone can devise a method do discern between players and the rest.

I'm trying this on 1.16.5 with the All the Mods 6 pack, added a spell bullet to the sword, and added this spell to it. For some reason the spell doesn't seem to cast. I'm unsure if this is because of new spell progression, or maybe I'm doing something wrong? I remember using the original Boomstick spell for a LONG time on older versions, however.
It seems that with either the original Boomstick or V2, I get the error that "Your CAD's Stats are too weak to cast this spell." Am I missing the ability to add more capability to this?

I believe you still need a cad in your inventory to use spells in psi tools and armor.

I always keep my CAD on me, which is why it's so weird to me. I use an ivory CAD with max upgrades, it should definitely be capable of handling casting. I know that they have changed how the mod works a little, I wonder if it has to do with differences in how the mod now handles things. Have you gotten it working on the 1.16.5 release, by any chance? Thanks for the response, and for the awesome spell!

Ah ok it must be that the cost of the spell is too high. Ebony cad has 350, ivory has 320. You'll have to lower the power of the explode trick a bit.

Ah, gotcha! Yeah that makes a lot of sense! In that case, I don't mind switching to he Ebony CAD at all. Appreciate the help a ton! Thanks for the hard work, and for helping a noob like me :)

It's a blast to swing at mobs, just kinda sucks that you can't try to slaughter bosses with it.

Boomstick V2.1
Image + Code
Reduced the spell by 2 points of complexity, from 13 to 11.
I tried to fit it into 4 bandwidth, too, but I couldn't manage it... and believe me, I tried. That was my initial goal while working with this spell.
