📋 About This Mod
This modification removes the Flames and Healing spells of the player due to the inability to remove them using console commands. The cause of this is because the spells are embedded into the player.
Race-specific spells are removable via console commands, so that should not be a problem.
No Starting Spells is a simple Skyrim mod that removes the Flames and Healing spells from the player's starting spell list. It's for players who want a more challenging or immersive early game without relying on these default spells. With 900 endorsements and 17,975 downloads, it's a well-received tweak.
