    What It Does

    SBMR dynamically makes all actors (player, creatures, NPCs) slowly regenerate their magicka based on their state: Willpower, intelligence, magicka, fatigue, encumbrance, movement, resting in beds, and specific magic effects.

    Default regen settings:

    • []Make actors regen 2. 5 times faster than the player, because they rarely use restore magicka potions[/]

      []Make the long periods of time spent (resting, traveling...) use a timescale of 30[/]

      []Set a regen based on willpower (20% for the player, 50% for other actors), altered by:

      []Intelligence (50% to 150%)[/]

      []Fatigue (50% to 100%)[/]

      []Encumbrance (50% to 100%)[/]

      []Movement (walk at 75%, run at 50%)[/]

      []Resting in a bed (200%)[/]

    [/]

    []Prevents regen for actors with the Stunted Magicka and Restore Magicka effects[/]

    When selecting Magicka as the regen main stat, the used value excludes magicka fortifications.

    Configuration

    Settings allow you to select a base stat that will be used to compute a base regen value: Willpower, intelligence or magicka.

    Then a percent of this value is defined for the player and for other actors.

    Finally, you can define the impact of multiple state-based factors:

    []Willpower and intelligence are configured with percent ranges, defining the impact from the attribute level 0 to 100 (scaling continues above 100)[/]

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

State-Based Magicka Regen (SBMR) is a gameplay overhaul that makes all actors, including the player, creatures, and NPCs, regenerate magicka dynamically based on their current state. Factors like Willpower, intelligence, magicka, fatigue, encumbrance, movement, and active magic effects influence the regeneration rate. This mod is for players who want a more realistic and strategic magicka system.

✨ Key Features

Dynamically regenerates magicka for all actors, including player, creatures, and NPCs.
Regeneration is influenced by Willpower, intelligence, magicka, fatigue, encumbrance, movement, and specific magic effects.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Adds depth to magicka management, making it more strategic.
  • Affects all actors, not just the player, for a consistent game world.
  • Small but active community (48 endorsements) with a decent download count (1,846).

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated July 2026—may not be compatible with future game patches.
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who find vanilla magicka regen too simplistic and want a more dynamic system tied to character stats and conditions. If you're a roleplayer who enjoys stats affecting gameplay beyond combat, this is for you. Skip if you prefer straightforward, arcade-style magic systems.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod affects all actors, expect enemies to also regenerate magicka—plan your fights accordingly.
  • Check your fatigue and encumbrance; keeping them low will likely improve your regen.
  • If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and load it after other gameplay overhauls to avoid conflicts.
