📋 About This Mod

This mod adds a new set of armor to the game. Works for males, females, and all races. It also adds an ice sword and two frost spells. Mod requires DAWNGUARD and DRAGONBORN since I used assets from them. wis03okm0TYUEWde1kRb64 Mod reviews by MRPyro Gaming and Chayification ==In-Game== The armor is classed as "Light" and is around the strength of Glass Armor. It has no enchants so you can add your own. The 4 pieces are:

Cryomancer's Mask Armor: 15 Weight: 3 Value: 500 Temper: Leather Strip and Steel Ingot

Cryomancer's Armor Armor: 36 Weight: 10 Value: 1000 Temper: Leather Strip and Leather

Cryomancer's Gauntlets Armor: 12 Weight: 5 Value: 200 Temper: Steel Ingot

Cryomancer's Boots Armor: 10 Weight: 5 Value: 200 Temper: Steel Ingot

The weapon is an ice sword called "Kori Blade". The slightly overpowered stats are:

Kori Blade Damage: 15 Weight: 10 Value: 500 Enchant: Cryomancer's Sting - Deals 40 points of frost damage to Health (Infinite charges) Temper: Ice Wraith Teeth

The two fun, but overpowered spells are:

Kori Blade Description: Conjure a Kori Blade for 180 seconds. Cost: 250 Magicka *Level: Expert Destruction

Freeze Blast Description: Fires an ice spike for 20 damage, and freezes the target for 7 seconds. (Uses the Ice Form shout effect) Cost: 300 Magicka *Level: Expert Destruction

The items and spell tomes can be found on Tundra, a lvl 25 cryomancer assassin being held in The Chill (Winterhold jail). Upon being sent there, or just traveling there, Tundra will be in the middle of attempting to break out. If you haven't already killed the Frost Atronach guarding The Chill in a previous visit, he'll engage it immediately. You can either slip out while the Frost Atronach is distracted, or kill them both. Either way, he is hostile on sight.

==Known Issues==The armbands are not bone-weighted perfectly, so you may seem some stiffness or clipping. Khajiit and Argonians don't have the cowl because I couldn't get it to look good with my skillset. Also, for some reason female elf ears may clip just a little through the cowl. I'm not sure why since I have part of the helm take the ear slot, but it may be one of my mods installed. The ice sword spell just sort of causes a Kori Blade to float into your hand. I couldn't figure out how to make it materialize like other bound weapons. It is also sile
