There are a couple available on the Forge that do just that.

AoE Spells Auto-Targeting & Upcast - BETA

WOB: Spell Casting Automation (FGU 5E 2025)

AoE Spell Auto Targeting and Upcast if amazing.

Watched video - a lot of moving pieces on that thing - I'll stick to manual doing things for upcasting for now. FG updates breaking another thing on me out of my control I'll have to pass on :) But it does look good - wish the dev luck on maintaining - hope he does not suffer as much as I do (sigh)

Thank you all so much for the feedback and for mentioning the extension!

@bwatford - Thanks a lot for recommending my extension, I'm really happy to see it being shared and helping out!

@MrDDT - Thanks for the awesome shoutout!

@SilentRuin - Thank you for the good luck wishes! I completely understand your caution, there are definitely a lot of moving pieces under the hood, and trying to stay ahead of FGU updates can definitely feel like a marathon sometimes. Wishing you the absolute best of luck with your own work as well, and let's hope future FG updates don't break too many things for us! xD

I wish future updates would not break us - but I've learned the hard way that is just not the way it is :) I spend all my time keeping things running the way they "were" after every major update - its a huge investment of time for sure. Helps immensely if you're using your own extensions in your own games - I can't imagine doing any of this if that was not the case. If you need anything out of my code though, feel free to use it - strip it out - change it for your own purposes whatever. The fate of all extensions is one day they will cease to be maintained. Its the main ones like AOE effect (recently taken over by bwatford) and BCEG (MW is currently fixing - none is picking it up long term to my knowledge though) that worry me most.

EXTENSIONS = RISK!

A mantra to live by ;)
