📋 About This Mod

Adds Reanimate spells in a lore friendly way and reworks the Staff of Worms and Risen Flesh to keep (make) them relevant. There's a spell added for Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Master.

I've seen other mods adding Reanimate as a spell or power, but all of them that I could find had you purchasing them from mages guild members or legitimate businesses, which for me is immersion breaking since Necromancy is stigmatized in Cyrodiil, not practiced in normal society, abs especially hated by the mages guild. I do think other people have done a good job with there mods though and tried make mine feel unique in other ways as well. My mod has you getting these spells from shady and morally flexible characters, outside of normal society, and has versions of the spell available for every tier of magic user. I didn't want to make the Staff of worms pointless so I upgraded it to be a worthwhile reward and went ahead and made Risen Flesh much more useful even for not casters.

This mod requires Staff of Worms Launch Fix to work properly because of a bug with the reanimate spell in Oblivion Remastered

All of the added spells besides Reanimate have an tag, if that bothers you then I a great tool is NL-Tag Remover

Below are all of the things I've added, where they are in game, and edits that I made. The base costs aren't super relevant but I thought I would include them to add perspective and understanding.
