Magicka Awakening - Magicka Costs Adjustments

Feather effect has a base cost of 1, which is as expensive as Fortify Strength. However, Fortify Strength increases Encumbrance by 5/pts along with increased damage. This makes Feather not only as expensive as Fortify Strength, it's also 5 times weaker. This mod aims to address spell effects with costs that are much higher than what they should be.

All affected spell effects will be cheaper than their vanilla counterpart. Generally, the effects are not very good in vanilla due to their high cost, or a strictly better option being available. However, the buffs will not be overpowered, or exceed the strength of the strictly better option.

All auto-calculated spells vanilla or otherwise should have their magicka costs adjusted.

I'm working on another version of the spell effects rebalanced that contains both buffs and nerfs to spell effects. However, this mod will still updated and contains only buffs to make all spells viable instead of a mage just using "the usual" (Fortify Strength, Drain Health, Shock Damage, etc).

Spell Effects Affected

Spell Effect Default magicka cost per unit -> New magicka cost per unitAlteration

Burden 1 -> 0. 1

Burden is now twice as effective as Drain Strength in terms of encumbering enemies without the damage reduction of Drain Strength.

Feather 1 -> 0. 1

Feather is now twice as effective as Fortify Strength in increasing encumbrance without the benefits from raising strength such

as increased damage. Due to its low cost, Feather is a very useful effect for enchanting low capacity items.

Fire Shield 3 -> 2

Frost Shield 3 -> 2

Lightning Shield 3 -> 2

Make the cost to be similar to Resist Element + Elemental Damage with Lightning Shield being slightly cheaper.

Jump 3 -> 1. 5

Jump used to have the same base cost as Levitate. It's now half the cost since it is harder to use, and much less precise compared to levitate.

Swift Swim 2 -> 0. 5

Twice as effective as Fortify Speed, but only works under water.

Slowfall 3 -> 0. 66

In vanilla, Slowfall 1 is enough to handle all fall damage. I reduced the cost to have a more balanced experience when using MCP slowfall overhaul (not required). If you don't use the Slowfall overhaul, it doesn't really change the experience since it's very cheap anyway.

Destruction

Damage Fatigue 4 -> 3. 2

A slight buff to align the value with damage health. Now on average, when damage health would kill, damage fatigue would topple the enemy down. This spell is better against
