📋 About This Mod
Intro
ducing Awakened Magicka, a new Magic Scaling Overhaul!
Awakened Magicka fundamentally alters the way magic scales through the game, with an emphasis on Magicka as the means to increase power. Main changes include:
- []Spell power now scales off base Magicka (inspired by Mastered Magicka). []Fortify Spell School effects for Alchemy and Enchanting have been swapped (inspired by Simple Magic Rebalance). []Spell costs are reduced further with Mastery Perks, particularly when not wearing armor.
But why should the Dragonborn be the only one to benefit from their focus on the arcane? Starting with version 2. 0 of Awakened Magicka, NPCs can also receive spell power buffs based on their Magicka. The Dragonborn may become the most powerful mage in Skyrim, but their power will not go unrivaled!
Installation
This mod requires USLEEP. SkyUI and SKSE are not required, although additional features are available if they are installed.To Install, simply download Awakened Magicka and activate it with your preferred Mod Manager. Place Awakened Magicka near the top of your load order.
In order for the mod to provide the correct spell power and cost reduction buffs to the player, you must do one of the following: []Before enabling the mod, load up any relevant save game and remove any clothing or other items from your character that have an enchantment that reduces spell costs. Also make certain that your character is not under the effect of a potion that increases spell damage. Make a new save, and then enable the mod. [*]Reset the buffs after the mod is enabled by removing any clothing/items from your character with enchantments that affect spell power/cost, waiting for potions with similar effects to end, and then clicking the text labeled "Recalibrate Buffs" in the Setup section of the MCM.
