📋 About This Mod
Overview
Speak With Dead Always Highlights Corpses makes corpses always glow/highlight for any character that has the Speak With Dead spell (i.e. without needing to cast it first).
Normally, you only see the green corpse highlighting if a character has Speak With Dead Recast. This mod changes that by applying that same hidden aura to characters who know the spell, instead of just having the recast.
It detects the spell whether learned directly or granted by equipped items and works silently.
The highlighting stays on permanently, so you never miss a corpse you can talk to.
