📋 About This Mod
LE Port of Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul by SimonMagus616
Note: The description is Produced as is from the Original Mod Page.
Mysticism is an overhaul that fixes bugs in Vanilla spells, fills in gaps in the game's magic progression, and adds new spells from previous Elder Scrolls titles. These spells are designed to feel like they belong in the world of Skyrim, both mechanically and aesthetically. You can purchase them from vendors, loot them from dungeons, or find them hand-placed in carefully chosen locations around the world. By adding new spells and re-balancing existing spells as part of the same project, Mysticism is able to offer users a coherent and balanced magical experience throughout the early, middle, and late game.
