MageLight Spell - Nomad 1.3

Inspired by Skyrim, the MageLight spell serves as a utility spell for magic users who want to illuminate their surroundings.  This is a small side project I’ve wanted to complete for a while, and I’m glad to make it a reality!

THE SKILL TREE:

The MageLight spell has a small and straightforward skill tree - consisting of only one tier, with 3 abilities, as follows:

- MageLight

- Mage Flashlight

- Blinding Flash

Begin charging MageLight to illuminate your surroundings with the magical light held in your hands.  Push your hand in any direction and release trigger to release the light into the air.  The floating light will move forward then come to rest in mid-air, where it will stay hovering for some time before disappearing.

Imbue your weapon or staff with MageLight to turn any weapon or staff into a make-shift magical lantern!

MAGE FLASHLIGHT:

After 1 second of charging the MageLight spell, this ability will activate the Mage Flashlight, which is a cone of light that emits from the palm of the caster’s hand, like a flashlight.  Useful when exploring long, dark corridors or spooky environments.

BLINDING LIGHT:

Initially, there were no plans to give this spell any combat abilities.  However, I couldn’t resist adding this one skill that proves helpful in combat.  When a hand that is charging MageLight or when a floating MageLight projectile gets close to an enemy, it will stun them, causing them to shield their eyes.  This will open them up for a follow-up strike!  I linked in to the game’s base animations used during the “Intimidation” skill from the Body skill tree, which gives quite a good approximation of being blinded and stunned by a bright light.

MOD OPTIONS:

The MageLight spell comes with a variety of mod options, so players can customize the spell to their preference, with parameters such as:

• []MageLight color!  Adjust Red, Green, and Blue values of the light for unlimited possible colors. (I recommend keeping levels at 1. 0 or below, to prevent the light from looking too washed out)[/]

  []Light intensity - how bright is the light?[/]

  []Light range - how far does the light reach?[/]

  []Direction of Mage Flashlight - either from Palm (realistic) or Fingertips (Comfort)[/]

  • []This mod does not do any damage during combat; it is purely a utility spell[/]

    []I have no plans for adding any additional features to this mod!  This spell has been just a small side project. Please enjoy![/]
