📋 About This Mod
This pack will replace the following animations:
-The idle, walk, run and sprint while wielding spells.
-The spell equip, swap and unequip with either/both hands.
-All idles and movements while aiming any spell.
-Casting any spell with any hand configuration, including master spells.
Can be used for spellsword/hybrid playstyles, the One-handed + spell animations and archery (bound bow summoning) are designed to transition into, and blend well with, some of my previously released Vanargand mods, though this can still be used without them with varying transition/blending results.
With heavy focus on gameplay consistency, and as is the case with my previously released ranged animations, the character will now keep facing the same direction while aiming with spells and moving, without any jitter, including when casting from one hand while holding a weapon in the other.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,076 endorsements and nearly 35k downloads
- Massive animation set (110 files) covers every spell school
- Tailored for spellsword builds—perfect for battlemage players
⚠️ Cons
- Requires DAR, which may be a hurdle for modding newcomers
- Last updated in July 2022—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim updates
- No gameplay changes—purely visual, so if you want new spells this isn't it
For Skyrim players who love magic combat and want to ditch the vanilla stiff casting animations. Ideal for spellsword or hybrid builds where you mix swords and spells. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have DAR installed and properly set up before adding this mod, or animations won't play.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- Check your load order to ensure DAR loads before this mod, and consider using a compatibility patch if you have other animation overhauls.
