📋 About This Mod
I was annoyed the the Vile Aura of Oblivion (available to player characters via the shadow lantern in KConstantineK's awesome mod "Justice For Wraithwyn - Wearable Moonlanterns And Better Shadow Lantern Wraith") applied a red overlay on the caster. So I removed it and spray painted the shadow vortex cyan while I was at it. Should be compatible with everything that doesn't touch the vile aura of oblivion's VFX.
A niche cosmetic mod for Skyrim that removes the glowing red overlay from Wraiths' Vile Aura of Oblivion and recolors it to shadowcurse cyan. For players who want a darker, less intrusive visual effect on Wraiths. With 53 endorsements and 68,929 downloads, it's a small but popular tweak.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download and easy install—just drop it in and go.
- Community-approved with 53 endorsements and nearly 69k downloads.
- Gives Wraiths a unique, darker look that fits the shadowcurse theme.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Wraiths—if you don't fight them often, you'll barely notice it.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're trusting the author's word on the color change.
- Last updated in August 2025—might not be compatible with future Skyrim updates or other mods that alter Wraith effects.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle visual tweak to make Wraiths less glaring and more thematically consistent. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you rarely encounter Wraiths.
