📋 About This Mod
This is a modified version of Lootable Spellbooks by SuperHobbit, which adds books that can teach you a spell to many of Morrowind's loot tables. This way a mage can gain powerups from looting in the same way a warrior may find a new weapon or armor. It is an excellent concept, and all I've done is add some balance touches in line with my preferences.
Mainly, I've cut down the list of available books to only spells otherwise available from spell merchants, and rebalanced the leveled loot lists, so you get a larger variety of spell effects and more appropriate spells for your level.
This mod modifies many vanilla leveled lists, NPCs, and containers, so if you use other mods that do the same, you need to run an object and/or leveled list merger to install it properly. Otherwise, just drop it in your Data Files folder and go.
There are two versions: the vanilla version, and the Wares-aware version. If you use Wares, you can safely use either without issue, but the Wares-aware version has some additional functionality if you're using Wares. Do not use both.
Many thanks to Danae for providing assistance with Wares-awareness.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Balance tweaks might appeal to players who found the original too overpowered or too weak.
- Lightweight mod with a focused purpose—no bloat, just spellbooks.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 22 endorsements, so it's a niche mod that hasn't been widely tested.
- Last updated in May 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game version.
For Skyrim players who enjoy finding spells in the world rather than buying them, and who want a more balanced take on the original Lootable Spellbooks. Skip if you prefer vanilla spell acquisition or want a more comprehensive magic overhaul.
