📋 About This Mod

A simple Necromancy system. Collect body parts and artifacts, gain power!

In the vanilla game, necromancy is just summoning a ghost or a zombie. But any old mage can do that. Only a necromancer can use the power of the dead to get around the rules of magic itself...

Collect magical artifacts from around cyrodiil to gain unique powers!

WHAT THIS MOD DOES -

Simply, this mod gives you a small boost to your conjuration skill or magicka when carrying around bones or other necromancerish items. It works the exact same way as the skeleton key does, so if you pick up a skull it will give you a spell effect that adds to your skill level rather than just buffing the skill.

Some of these items have debuffs attached as well. You cant carry around a bag of bones and a rotting corpse without grossing people out after all. Power comes at a Price.

WHAT THIS MOD ALLOWS YOU TO DO -

This mod allows you to use conjuration spells that are above your skill level!

Lets say you have a conjuration skill of 25, so you are limited to only summon apprentice level spells. If you grab enough DIFFERENT bones, your skill will now be at 50, thus allowing you to summon a higher level ally! Simple fortify skill effects do not get around this limit.

This isnt actually limited to necromancy spells, you can use it to summon daedra too.

When you drop the bones, your skill will return to its normal value. It is encouraged not to carry these items 100% of the time, as it will mess with your ability to actually level up your conjuration skill to 100. Therefore, some of these items are more useful to a beginner mage than a master wizard, but it also has some unique items and powers that any and all mage characters would like to have

ITEMS AND THEIR EFFECTS -

-Side note: having multiple of the same item does nothing for you. Diversify you collection!

-Another note: I removed the quest item tag from anything that had it, so that you can get rid of the item if you want. DONT DROP ANYTHING YOU STILL NEED FOR A QUEST UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE YOU WONT LOSE IT. You've been warned.
