📋 About This Mod
NEWS Spells can cost stamina (you can change this in the MCM Menu) MCM Menu... Finally! 3 new spells: Burn, Hypothermia, and Electrocute Enhanced Ward: now drains magicka, and looks better! New Nordic Wand designed by Ghosu!
WOS adds fully functional and ready-to-use wands with eleven spells: Firebolt, Fireball, Burn, Ice Spike, Ice Storm, Hypothermia, Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Electrocute, Gust, and Disarm, plus a ward spell when the player "blocks". Whenever you "swing" your wand, a spell will be shot out of the end. Each spell does damage based on the wand's level and costs 75% leveled magicka.
This is not just another "staff-that-looks-like-a-wand mod". So before you leave this page and continue to wait for an immersive wand mod, I just want to tell you that

Q: I know its not a remodeled staff, but what does it do? I'm so confused. A: In short, when you swing the wand, it will cast a spell forward. I know its confusing, the mechanics are unlike anything else (and are really fun). Once you download it, it will make complete sense. Just think about Harry Potter: he swings his wand, and a spell is shot out of his wand. Its like that, but in Skyrim.
Q: Why do I need SKSE? It seems like a waste of space. A: SKSE is surely not a waste of space. It is what allows some of the greatest mods to exist. WOS uses SKSE to actually cast the spells through the event OnActorAction, where there is no workaround. So please reconsider downloading SKSE.
Q: What makes this different from the other wand mods? A: WOS is not like the other "wand" mods since they are what I like to call "staff-that-looks-like-a-wand mod". And frankly, in my opinion, it's not very pleasing to the eye or immersive. WOS wands will feel like they came with Vani
