~What
is this?~
Grimoire adds 120+ spells to the game via spell books sold by merchants and the wizards at the College of Winterhold. Essentially, Grimoire takes the vanilla pool of spells and makes it bigger. No weird gimmicks, no awkward NPCs or quests. Just a lot of cool new spells - spells that fit with vanilla while filling in the gaps in the magic system and making it way more awesome to play as a mage. Enjoy.

What the internet has to say:
"A very under-appreciated spell mod that I consider just as vital to my playthrough as Apocalypse. The nice thing about using these two together is that there is very little, if any real, overlap between the spells. They really balance nicely and give you a variety of abilities without being overpowered at all (I still go through potionsLost Grimoire of Skyrim adds over 120 balanced, lore-friendly spells across all magic schools, enabling diverse role-play builds like Arcane Assassin, Shapeshifter, Daedra Summoner, Shaman, and Priest. A highly popular magic expansion with 16,590 endorsements, last updated in 2016.
