📋 About This Mod
Part of the May Modathon Month
This mod aims to expand on the ideas of fair magic regen. Combat will always stop regen for 5 seconds. This means drawing your weapon, taking damage to health or magicka, or casting spells will be enough to break regen. There are three variants. It's important to only activate one of the esps. The differences are below.
- Attributes and Effects-
- Any negative effect on the player will stop
- regen. This includes diseases, enchantments
- with negative effects, etc.. May conflict with
- armor penalty mods, light based sneaking mods,
- or anything else that adds penalties to the
- player.
- No Attributes-
- Removes the drain/damage attribute and skill
- checks from the script. This means effects like
- burden, blind, etc.. will still interupt regen
- but should maintain compatibility with various
- armor penalty mods.
- No effects-
- Only drawing weapons, casting, and taking
- damage to magicka or health will interupt
- regeneration.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Encourages strategic retreats and careful resource management—makes magic feel more deliberate.
- Tiny mod with a clear purpose; easy to understand and integrate.
- Community-tested with 28 endorsements and 683 downloads, showing a niche following.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may be outdated for current game versions, so compatibility is a risk.
- Niche appeal: only affects magic regen, so players who prefer fast-paced combat may find it restrictive.
For players who want a more tactical magic system where positioning and timing matter. If you're tired of infinite mana in fights and want a reason to disengage, this is for you. Skip if you prefer fast, arcade-style combat or don't care about magic balance.
