📋 About This Mod
UPDATE
Enchanters now sell some cantrips
Cantrips have a new models
Cantrips are simple spells that the magically challenged can cast at the cost of extra-magicka (four times as much)
Those spells never fails and can only be learnt if your magic skills are low enough (less than 15).
Casting cantrips does not improve your skills.
Cantrips are learnt by reading scrolls occasionally founds where books and scolls are found/bought.
To learn the cantrip, read the scroll from your inventory
The idea is to have spells that will help a warrior or thief in a bind without making those spells a
reliable source of magic as they can only cast a few times at best before their magicka runs out.
