📋 About This Mod

This mod adds 385 spell tomes (in the style of Skyrim) with unique covers to Morrowind which teach you a single spell when you read it. The spells learned from spell tomes are typically learned from vendors though there are several spells from elsewhere, such as quest rewards.

Why create spell tomes when the player can buy these spells from vendors? An excellent question, my good mage.

I missed the spell tomes from Skyrim. Collecting all the spells and decorating libraries with spell tomes brought me great joy. After many, many playthroughs of Morrowind, going to spell vendors felt like a chore. Finishing the main quest just to travel to Mournhold for the Fortify Skill spells is extremely difficult if you're playing without early transport mods. People who use mods that add faction restrictions for services were also limited to the spells they could buy. Learning the TR spells by traveling to Narsis for Blink but Firewatch for the new summon spells is annoying. Also I only play Telvanni and buying spells from the Mages Guild was repulsive to me. I couldn't find a mod that does what Skyrim added, so I created this one. You can also relearn a spell as much as you want. No longer are spell tomes eaten or harmed!

Should you need to find a particular spell or learn all spells, there are chests with all of the spell tomes in them. The record IDs are:

chest_spelltome_alt

chest_spelltome_conj

chest_spelltome_dest

chest_spelltome_ill

chest_spelltome_myst

chest_spelltome_rest

There are 345 spell tomes for the base game:
