MAGICKA RECALCULATED

This mod aims to solve the hard limit on your final Magicka pool (with 100 Int).

HOW?

The mod changes the way your Magicka grows. Instead of calculating your Magicka with the vanilla formula:

Magicka = Intelligence Magicka Multiplier (aka Fortify Maximum Magicka)

Now you can gain Magicka per level if you invest at least one point in that levelup, with this formula:

Magicka gain = ( Intelligence / 10 ) ( Intelligence invested / 5 ) Magicka Multiplier

Note: Default Magicka Multiplier is 1

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Let's benchmark the progression of two types of characters:

Character 1: Typical mage.

- Starting int: 50

- Magicka mult: 3 (Altmer + Mage birthsign)

- Int gain: 2 per level.

Character 2: Typical warrior with some spell casting.

- Starting int: 40

- Magicka mult: 3 (Atronach birthsign)

- Int gain: 1 per level.

Through character setup and early investments, you can exceed your vanilla Magicka pool by a significant amount down the line. On the other hand, characters that don't prioritize Intelligence will fall a tiny bit behind vanilla amount and take time to catch up.

FAQ

What about Fortify Magicka and Fortify Intelligence?

- They do the same as before, give an arbitrary amount of Magicka:

Fortify Intelligence gives Magicka = Intelligence fortified Magicka Multiplier

Fortify Magicka gives an arbitrary amount that can go past the maximum (will not lose if you levelup and your maximum Magicka increases).

What about Drain and Damage?

- Seemed to work fine last time I checked. Also, if Fortify works I don't see why these effects don't.

Can I use it with existing saves?

- No, you can't calculate the pool without an accurate account of Intelligence progression. Making a prompt to go through the levels would be tiresome with more than 10 - 15 levels.

Does it work with custom races then?

- Yes. The calculations take into account your attributes and nothing else, so no reason i
