📋 About This Mod
Supreme Magicka
This mod overhauls the magic system of Oblivion to create a more balanced, diverse, and fun system, making spell casting stronger but not overpowered.
At the time Mighty Magick was the popular spell mod but that made magic much too powerful. This mod tries to find that perfect balance.
15 years later supreme magicka had many awesome ideas but had become bloated, complicated and in some cases unstable that could cause crashes as well as incompatibility with other mods.
I have rebuilt supreme magicka from the ground up and taken great care to implement all the effects in a simpler, balanced, stable and much more faithful interpretation to oblivions original design. Not everything in the original supreme magicka has been re-implemented in exactly the same way.
## General Changes
Where possible all new gameplay elements attempt to affect all spell effects from any source (player, enemy, enchantment)
### Circle Spells (Can be disabled)
A number of new expert circle spells added (touch spell without a target required) that affect all enemies around you in an area.
-
[]Surrounded? No problem! Cast one of the elemental damage circles and blast all your problems away.
[
]Cast a light circle on enemies to blind them and become invisible for a few seconds.[]Restore health circle that heals yourself and others around you.
[]Burning Soul Trap Circle that casts soul trap and burns those it hits.
[]Turn Undead circle to damage and scare off undead in the area.
Or you can create your own circle spells by pressing X (default) during spell making and a message will appear.
You can toggle this off by pressing the button again. This only has an effect if you create a touch spell.
### New pre-made spells (Can be disabled)
New pre-made spells added to shops that are designed to be similar to what you can find/make yourself saving you time or effort.
[]Holy fire (Destruction) spell casts a light and fire damage against enemies, great for vampire hunters.
[]Masterful Bound Armor (Conjuration) that allows you to equip a full set of summoned armor instead of casting each piece 1 by 1.
[]Riot spell (Illusion) that casts frenzy and rally in an area to cause total mayhem.
[]Upsurge spell (Restoration) that allows you to jump very high for the next 3 seconds.
[]Zenithars Hammer (Restoration) will make your repair hammers never break.
[]Rock Skin (Restoration) will add resistance to normal weapons and the elements.
[]Shield of Thorns (Mysticism) will reflect damage back to attackers.
