Oblivion Remaster Magic XP for OpenMW

Key Feature:

This mod changes how much XP you gain when casting a spell based on how it was implemented on Oblivion Remasted

XP based on magicka cost

Instead of gaining 1 XP point per cast of spell (incentivating spam casting of low cost spell) this mod implements the same formula used in Oblivion Remaster.

This fits greatly with the mage gameplay of wanting to use more powerful spell instead of spamming low magnitude spell to level more. This mod fixes the need to afk train using 1 magicka cost spell in front of a bed to reach higher level, as you will level more quickly and naturally by simply using powerful spell while adventuring.

The formula is the following:

( ( SpellBaseCost ExpCastMult ) / 0. 75 ) + ( UseValue / 1. 5 )

• []SpellBaseCost is the base magicka cost of the spell

  []ExpCastMult is always 0. 1

  []UseValue technically varies from 6. 0 to 0. 6 based on the school (conjuration being 6. 0 and restoration 0. 6), I used an average value of 3 to avoid unbalance between the schools

Installation and Requirements

Requires OpenMW 0. 49 or better. Files should be dropped in the Data folder and then enabled in the OpenMW Launcher. It does not require a fresh save.

Uninstalling

Just remove the files or uncheck them from the launcher. You can uninstall without any problem from any save at any stage of the game.

Compatibility

As this mod is just a script that gets triggered when a spell is casted there should be no compatibility issue, unless some other mod would change how magick XP is handled.
