Divayth Fyr Puzzle Fixed overwrites a questionable change from Ownership Overhaul that caused Divayth Fyr to go hostile on the player if they engaged on the treasure hunt sidequest. For this reason, we will skip installing that mod's patch, which reintroduces the issue.

Adds magnitude to cure effects, making them work similarly to dispel and improve the way alchemy game formulas treat such effects.

Main Files - DungeonsRest
