📋 About This Mod

Mod Overview

Necromancy has been banned by the Mages Guild yet nobody cares if you use undead summons. This mod fixes that.

Feature 1: New Consequences

i. Now, if you summon undead near a Mages Guild member, you will be expelled from the guild.

ii. In Addition, while not illegal in the lore, 

optionally 

you can choose to have summoning undead result in a 100-gold bounty if done near a guard.

  • []This makes Necromancy feel like something you really need to hide.

    [](Note: This bounty is only added if a guard is nearby. Casting near citizens/other NPCs will not result in a bounty).

To balance the fact that you have to be secretive with your Summon Undead Spells now, I recommend my other mod Empower Necromancy with Black Soul Gems to boost their power and add new roleplaying routes.

Feature 2: Spell Vendor Tweak

Available under optional files. (Main File not Necessary)

This mod also offers an addon to remove Summon Undead spells from Mages Guild Vendors.

Summon Undead Spells can now only be obtained from non-Guild Mages and Loot. Specifics are below:

  • []Apprentice & Journeyman Spells: Calindil

    []Apprentice & Journeyman Tomes: Falanu Hlaalu, Shady Sam, found on generic Necromancers

    []Expert & Master Tomes: Relmyna Verenim, via Loot from Necromancer Boss-Coffins

'' denotes NPCs that will sell you the Spells/Tomes via the Vendor Menu.

Details on why these NPCs were chosen are below:

Calindil: He was already a non-Guild vendor that sold Apprentice-level Summon Undead Spells.

Falanu Hlaalu: It fits her character to at least have the tomes, given her... interests.

Shady Sam: He does business on the black market. Selling banned tomes makes sense.

Relmyna Verenim: She could be considered the second most powerful/knowledgeable Necromancer in the game—Mannimarco being the first, of course—due to her research on Flesh Magic and Necromancy.

Installation and Compatibility

Install this mod as you would any other mod, adding it to plugins.txt etc. Place it near the bottom.

  • Optionally, also install NL-Tag Remover too as my mod makes edits to quest logs and dialogue topics.

    Summon Undead spells are Necromancy?

    Yes! Summoning Undead is specifically stated in-lore as both "Necromancy" and a practice that was banned [/b
