Arcane Implements - Cantrips Spellbooks and Runes

The mod enhances exploration for spellcasters by adding cantrips, spell-teaching books, and one-use runestones as magical loot, making discoveries more rewarding for magic-focused players.

There is something for everyone, in a way that is fun and balanced:

- inapt spellcasters have a few simple spells at their disposal but cannot "grind" their magic skills with the cantrips.

- proficient spellcaster may learn advanced spells from spellbooks.

- anyone can enjoy a powerful weapon or ally for a while if they are lucky enough to find a rune. They won't make money out of it though.

Read cantrips scrolls to learn cantrips.

• []Cantrips are simple spells that never fail but cost more magicka. (see image for details)

  []Casting cantrips does not improve skills.

  []Cantrips can be found at enchanters and as loot on some classes (requires Wares_npcs)

  Read Spellbooks to learn spells

  • []Read the book to learn the spell.

    []The more powerful the spell, the more magicka is required to decipher the book.

    []The more powerful the spell, the more valuable the spellbook.

    []Spellbooks teach vanilla spells (including some that cannot be bought)

    []Spellbooks might appear at enchanters' and booksellers' but will primarily be found on the body of spellcasters (requires Wares_npcs) and where wizards' books are found.

    Use Daedric Runes to summon objects and creatures from Oblivion

    • []Runes stones are basically scrolls with a bound or summon spell that lasts a whole 10 minutes.

      []They have zero value - you may use them or collect them (there are 26, for each letter of the Daedric Alphabet)

      []They can be found in Daedric ruins, on the corpses of (nefarious) spellcasters

      []With Creatures and Critters, some Daedra can also drop a Runestone.

      How is this different from Cantrips, Lootable Spellbooks, and Shinies?

      • []Cantrips can be learnt by anyone regardless of their skill now

        []Cantrips are distributed through Wares so NPCs can have them as loot

        []Cantrips scrolls are worth 50 septims (100 in the original mod)

      Lootable Spellbooks

      []Spellbooks have minimum magicka requirement now
