📋 About This Mod
This mod adds the Cantrip "Thundershot" to the sorcerer spell list; it's based on the cantrip "Ray of frost" and uses it's animations. The spell deals 1d8 thunder damage and scales on level 5 and 10 just like the other cantrips. Made for personal use, mainly to create a thunder/reverberation build to use in conjunction with the beautiful mod "Damage Combos" by blackninjato2.
It's my very first mod, so if you notice something amiss, feel free to message me.
EDIT: Now the spell is available on the following classes: Sorcerer, Cleric, Wizard, Warlock, Eldritch Knight, Druid, Bard. It also uses the icon of the spell Thunderwave, to make it more "thunderish :)"
Thundershot adds a thunder-based cantrip to Skyrim, modeled after Ray of Frost. With 20 endorsements and 558 downloads, it's a niche spell mod for players wanting a new offensive option. Last updated September 2024, it offers a simple addition without major overhauls.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh take on cantrips—thunder damage is a nice change from the usual fire/frost
- Lightweight mod that won't bloat your load order (558 downloads)
- Active development as of September 2024, so it's likely compatible with recent patches
⚠️ Cons
- Small community footprint (20 endorsements) means less testing and feedback

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a spell mod, make sure you have the required perk or skill level to cast it—check your Destruction skill.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- Test the spell on a dummy or low-level enemy first to see its damage and range before relying on it in combat.
