📋 About This Mod
I'm not great at writing descriptions, I tend to ramble, this might be a tad messy and/or incoherent.
A mod born of my slight frustration with Light and Daylight not staying on transmogrified weapons when reloading the game, though it grew a bit beyond that..
I present: Light Utility!
Alters the Light, Daylight and Dancing Lights spells with some quality of life features such as reapplying the effects, auto-dimming in sunlight, toggling them off/on and a full rework of Dancing Lights to make it behave more like Candlelight from Skyrim.

[]Light will automatically dim when entering a sunlit area (this includes the light emitted from Daylight).

[]Both spells can only affect a single character at a time.
- Daylight looping SFX has been removed.
DANCING LIGHTS - CANDLELIGHT
