📋 About This Mod

Spells to improve quality of life

I wanted the Skyrim spell for Transmute Ore in Morrowind, so here we are. Now that OpenMW has custom magic effects, I also added Fortify spells for the Bardcraft, Cooking, Mining, and Aquatics skills, along with Summoning a friendly Scrib.

Summon Scrib

(petting not included, you can get those from Pet the Scribs OpenMW Lua edition)

After petting (interacting) with a scrib or scribs fives times, you will learn how to cast the spell Summon Scrib. You use Summon Scrib when creating spells and enchanting too. Petting your summoned scrib will make it grow larger and also restores a small amount of its health. Its only spell is the standard Scrib paralysis spell which it can only cast once, similarly to regular scribs. However, your Summoned Scrib has 500 health so that you don't have to worry too much about your scrib dying. Requires Unofficial Tamriel Rebuilt Spells.

Fortify Custom Skills

(on-screen debug log not included)

A set of Fortify spells for the custom skills added by some of my favourite mods. Each spell is cast on self, costs 30 magicka, fortifies the relevant skill by 10 points for 60 seconds, and are learned by reading in-game books. Once learned, these spells can be used for Spellcrafting and Enchanting. They don't stack with vanilla Fortify Skill effects so you'll get to see the cute little icons for the new spells.

Each Fortify spell is only registered if the matching mod is active in your load order, so you don't need to have every mod installed to get spells. Skill modification is handled through Skill Framework and the fortified value shows up correctly on the Stats Window Extender. These spells require OpenMW 0. 51 as of 4/9 or the 0. 51 RC.
