Magic Skill Perks

Name: Magic Skill Perks Version: 1. 3 Date: 9/25/2015 Author(s): DocRob

Description ======== It's always kind of bugged me that in Oblivion, you gain some nice little side perks when skills hit certain mastery levels (Apprentice, etc.)--except for spell skills, which only grant you access to spells of the new level. Nice, but, I wanted a bit more, so I made this.

UPDATE: After some well-thought out suggestions made by Eolhin at TESNexus, I've opted to add two additional .esps to this. See details below.

UPDATE UPDATE: Thanks to Logharn for spotting a bug, which in turn led to finding another bug, both of which caused the fortified magicka to stay locked (couldn't be reduced) even if the mod was unloaded. Both bugs are now fixed in all versions.

UPDATE #3:  I've added a new .esp based off Magic Skill Perks Balanced, but greatly nerfed in how much your magicka gets fortified; this should be ideal for those who like a bit of challenge balancing magic use vs. their pool of magicka, providing a bit of added magick while not being overwhelming.

Magic Skill Perks keeps an eye on your spell skills as they rise (or fall) and gives you a perk--Fortify Magicka--each time you reach a level of mastery.

Depending on which .esp you install (make sure to install only ONE, as the last one installed will overwrite the other two) you'll get the following perks:

Original (Magic Skill Perks. esp) Apprentice: 25 pts. Journeyman: 75 pts. Expert: 150 pts. Master: 250 pts.

With all schools of magic maxed out at 100, you'll gain 1500 points of fortified magicka! Note that this original version tops out at 100, so no benefit is gained if you're using an AV uncapper to go above 100.

For those that use AV uncappers and want the perks, I offer two other files:

Magic Skill Perks Balanced.esp

Apprentice: 25 pts. Journeyman: 50 pts. Expert: 75 pts. Master (100-124): 100 pts. Enhanced Master (125-149): 125 pts. Enlightened Master (150-174): 150 pts. Disciplined Master (175-199): 175 pts. Complete Master (200+): 200 pts.

This is the version using the formula suggested by Eolhin, and provides not only added perks for uncapped players, but also more balance for those who like their mages powerful but not overpowered.

With all schools mastered (200 in each), this tops your fortified magicka out at 1200.

Magic Skill Perks Godlike.esp

Apprentice: 25 pts. Journeyman: 75 pts. Expert: 150 pts. Master (100-124): 250 pts. Superior Master (125-149): 310 pts. Supreme Master (150-174): 370 pts. Ultimate Master (175-199): 430 pts. Godlike Master (200+): 500 pts.

This is the version for those who want the ultimate bad
