11 Spell Alteration
22  
33 Spell alteration is a named branch of Fatekeeper's skill tree that does not add a new element. Instead, it rewires existing spells: cast speed, projectile count, ricochet, trajectory, and similar modifiers. Spell alteration is the connective tissue of caster builds, and its nodes pay off again and again as additional spell schools are invested in.

77 Cast speed. Faster spell startup raises sustained DPS and lets a caster keep more pressure on a moving target.Multi-projectile. A single cast becomes a volley of two or more projectiles, multiplying coverage at the cost of inefficiency on single targets.Ricochet. Projectiles bounce off surfaces, broadening kill zones in tight rooms.Trajectory tweaks. Possible homing, arc, or curve adjustments depending on which nodes are taken.

99 Why It Matters
1010  
1111 Spell alteration is the engine of caster identity. A pyromancer who skips the alteration branch is just a fire mage with average projectiles. With alteration, that same caster fires multiple ricocheting projectiles per second and outputs several times the on-screen damage. Hybrid casters who divide investment between fire and ice get more value from a single alteration node than from a second school passive.
