- - 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.

🎯 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.

💡 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
