Full description of the mod in Russian

Below is a short description in English

Non-linear resistance formula.

The universal formula for resisting harmful effects of magic now looks like this:

http://yotx.ru/#!1/3_npRC8Uha@wf@k/cP9ncODvaNGML/2r5vDUN4JK39A//J@wf7B/t@Umptf2Nvd3tjC7q3vXNwsLt/sE@iYTd2ThmPp1uMx63Li939rX0B

The more resistance you accumulate from all sources, the less their total real impact.

So, 50% of resistances will give you only 40% effective protection

100% = 66. 6%

200-300% = immunity

Over 300% = absorption and healing!

Total Resistance Formula = Normal Resistance + Target Bonuses - Caster Power + Caster Fatigue

Resistances below zero are not subject to scaling - their formula remains linear.

Magic can now trigger critical hits!

The critical chance and power depends on Intelligence, Luck, Attack and Focus of the caster, as well as on the stamina, Willpower, Luck and Endurance of the target.

Elemental damage.

The higher caster's willpower and his destruction and alteration skills, the more damage will be done by his elemental spells.

In addition to the usual resistance of the respective elements, the willpower and endurance of the target will help reduce elemental damage. Strong armor will also help reduce damage. Since elemental damage is created by, you know, magic, target's magicka resistance will also slightly reduce damage.

Poison damage.

The higher the caster's willpower and his destruction and restoration skills, the greater damage will be done by his poison spells.

In addition to the usual resistance to poison, the endurance and, to a lesser extent, willpower of the target will greatly reduce damage received.

Magic damage and power of magic debuffs.

The higher the caster's willpower and his destruction and native debaff skills, the higher the power of his pure harmful magic (damage health spells).

In addition to the usual resistance to magic, the willpower and, to a lesser extent, endurance of the target will greatly reduce the negative influence of enemy spells.

Synergies.

Fire, frost, and lightning are physical effects generated by magic. Therefore, the better the caster understands the structure of
