📋 About This Mod

REQUIREMENTS You will need the Brawl Bugs Patch mod to avoid the Brawl bug. Note to modders If you have a custom spell mod and you are using one of the default MagicDamage keywords on your spells (MagicDamageFire, MagicDamageFrost, MagicDamageShock), your mod will be automatically compatible with this mod. If you don\'t wan\'t to use the vanilla MagicDamage keywords but you want your spells to play the effects you can use this vanilla unused keywords: - LinkCustom06 - Fire effects - Linkcustom07 - Shock effects - LinkCustom08 - Ice effects COMPATIBILITY: This mod is compatible with any mod that modifies spells and custom spell mods. It does not modify any spell, perk or vanilla assets, it is already compatible with mods that alter spells or perks. So please stop asking me the same question. CONFIGURATION: As of version 3. 4 a MCM menu is included to configure the mod ingame. FEATURES: - FIRE SPELLS
  • [] Apply a flaming effect if you have the Augmented Flames perk [] Apply a burning skin effect if you have the Augmented Flames(rank 2) perk [] The meat of the animals is replaced by the cooked version when burned, and their pelts are removed if you have the Augmented Flames(rank 2) perk
- ICE SPELLS
  • [] Apply a frost skin effect if you have the Augmented Frost perk [] Apply an ice block effect if you have the Augmented Frost(rank 2) perk
- SHOCK SPELLS
  • [] Apply a sparkle effect if you have the Augmented Shock perk, also will make victims to convulse a few seconds [] Apply a calcinated skin effect if you have Augmented Shock(rank 2) perk. [] As in fire spells, the meat of the animals is replaced by the cooked version when burned, and their pelts are removed if you have the Augmented Shock(rank 2) perk
ISSUES:
  • - Sometimes the effects applied directly to the skin ARE working but they are overriden by other shaders and disappear, if you remove any equipped item on the victim the effects will render again. This tends to happen more often if dual casting. - If you remove any equipped item on a burned/freezed victim the membrane shader will disappear until you exit the container menu. This is the way Skyrim handles membrane shaders, nothing I can do about it. - If you leave and reenter a cell the shaders will no longer be there, just like blood or magic decals. - Sometimes when a npc disintegrates (disintegrate perk) it will just disappear instead of slowly fading away. - Scroll spells doesn\'t seem to apply the effects.
EXCLUSION LIST This is the list of races and creatures not affected by the effects, this is intentional: Dragon, Dwarven, Familiar, Ghost, Atronach(any type), Dr

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust (20,490 endorsements) – this is a proven mod that many players swear by
  • Simple concept, big impact – makes magic kills feel way more satisfying
  • Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it's just shaders

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2013 – might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or DLCs without patches
  • No detailed instructions or compatibility notes from the author, so you're on your own if issues pop up
  • Only affects magic kills – if you're a warrior or archer, you won't see any difference
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim mages and battlemages who want their fire, frost, and shock spells to leave a lasting mark on enemies. If you're all about immersion and visual feedback, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer gameplay over cosmetics or if you're on a mod list that already overhauls death effects.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an older mod, make sure to place it low in your load order to avoid conflicts with other visual overhauls
  • Test with a quick save before a big fight – if you see weird textures, try disabling other shader mods
  • If you're using a mod manager, use the 'preview' feature to see the shader effects before committing
