📋 About This Mod
Pernicious Thread
4th-level
Range: 40 feet
Bonus Action
You thread negative energy into a creature's poisons, increasing their potency and undermining the resilience of their enemies. Target creature ignores both Resistance and Immunity to Poison damage. Whenever they deal Poison damage, they roll damage twice and use the highest result.
Upcasting allows for multiple targets.
Does not require Script Extender, but natively available to nearly all spellcasters with SE enabled.
Upcast support for spell slots up to 9th level.
Load Order: Load after other mods that have or add to spell lists, or before them if using Script Extender (which includes support for more classes' and subclasses' lists).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (78k downloads, 175 endorsements) shows real interest
- Fills a niche for poison builds that lack necromancy synergy
- Simple concept that's easy to slot into any playthrough
⚠️ Cons
- Only one spell — might feel thin if you're expecting a full spell pack
- No mention of which game version it's tested on, so could break with updates
For Skyrim players who love poison-focused builds and want a necromantic twist. If you're a stealth archer or alchemist looking to debuff tough enemies, this is a handy tool. Skip if you want broad spell additions or aren't into poison mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a spell mod, make sure you have a way to learn or add the spell via console if it's not in a tome.
- Pair it with poison perks and enchantments to maximize the damage boost.
- Check your load order — spell mods usually work fine, but keep it above overhaul mods that change magic.
