Ash Lichen

Currently the mod is being used with Open MW but it should work with MWSE Morrowind.

Requirements

Graphic Herbalism MWSE / OpenMW - https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/46599

The base mesh being used is the Black Lichen from their files and it's meant to be used with Graphic Herbalism in the first place.

The purpose of this mod is to add a new ingredient with the effect of Restore Magicka.

Typically I use Comberry + Daedra Heart / Frost Salts / Void Salts. Given cost and availability the early-mid game of creating restore magicka potions is limited-ish.

Name: Ash Lichen

Effects: Drain Strength, Drain Willpower, Drain Luck, Restore Magicka

Balance Decision Making

The drain attributes were chosen to effectively counter Restore Health and Restore Fatigue by targeting drain attributes on ingredients offering those effects. Primarily Marshmerrow, Saltrice, and Chokeweed were chosen as they also have a 1 gold cost.

The location of the ingredient is within the Ghost Gate on Red Mountain, specifically within the foyadas and one other sloped section going north-east. This was chosen as AFAIK very little to nothing spawns within them and it creates a certain "difficulty" in obtaining it early.

There's big and small Ash Lichen. Big Ash Lichen can yield up to 3 pieces and small can yield up to 2. Each piece has a 33% spawn rate.

The mod was cleaned with enchanted editor and tes3cmd. If I missed something pls let me know.
