📋 About This Mod
This started as a personal mod since I loved the idea behind Sun Magic Overhaul's logic, which made it so sun spells affected all entities while giving bonus damage to undead. I wanted to keep the consistency of its changes for other mods that added sun-related spells. So, if you end up downloading my mod, please endorse Sun Magic Overhaul!
Patches Made:
-
[]Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim - This mod adds three sun-based spells obtained through the restoration perk tree (Sunblast, Stellar Core, and Holy Hands).[/]
[]Dawnguard Arsenal - This mod adds four sun-based spells (Sun Ray, Meridian Rune, Holy Ground, and Gaze of Arkay).[/]
[]Expanded Spells of Skyrim - This mod adds four sun-based spells (Sun Burn, Sun Blare, Sun Burst, and Daybreak).[/]
[]Lost Grimoire - This mod adds one sun-based spell (Ray of Light).[/]
[]Path of Sorcery - This mod affects the original sun spells in various ways so an override is needed to carry over it and Sun Magic Overhaul's changes.[/]
[]Requiem - The Roleplaying Overhaul - This mod affects the original sun spells and the Recovery perk in various ways so an override is needed to carry over it and Sun Magic Overhaul's changes.[/]
Requirements:
All files require Sun Magic Overhaul and the respective mod they're patching.
Compatibility:
Because Sun Magic Overhaul edits both ranks of the Recovery perk in the restoration skill tree, it will conflict with any mods that touch those series of perks. Therefore, for best compatibility, load Sun Magic Overhaul BEFORE perk overhauls and my patch(es) AFTER perk overhauls to maintain the perk changes from other mods for the best compatibility.
Installation:
Just drop it into your load order and activate it. If you have a bashed patch/smashed patch, rerun it.
Uninstallation:
Simply remove it from your load order and rerun your bashed patch/smashed patch if applicable. Generally, it's a bad practice to remove a mod from an ongoing save, so I can't guarantee your save won't react poorly, but this mod has no scripts, so theoretically everything should be okay.
If you're looking to expand support yourself, you're free to. Preferably, I'd ask you to let me upload them on this page so we can keep all the patches together to form a hub-like area which would be more than convenient for everyone. Credits will be given to where it's due in that case.
My Other Mods:
Expanded Spells of Skyrim

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but focused mod (56 endorsements) that fixes a real gameplay inconsistency for sun magic users.
- Simple concept: patches other spell mods to work with Sun Magic Overhaul's overhaul, saving you from manual edits.
- Lightweight download (2,036 downloads) with no complex dependencies beyond the main mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in November 2023—may not cover newer spell mods or the latest Skyrim version.
- Only useful if you already use Sun Magic Overhaul and other spell mods; otherwise, it's irrelevant.
For Skyrim players who run Sun Magic Overhaul and want sun spells from other mods to affect all enemies, not just undead. Skip if you don't use Sun Magic Overhaul or if you're fine with vanilla sun spell behavior.
