📋 About This Mod

Original Mod Description:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This mod adds a new Atronach type called "Air Atronach".

These atronachs are based on the ones from ESO.

It adds 2 new playable conjuration spells, 2 new staves for those spells, 2 new masks and a new enemy.

Both spells will be more powerful if you have the Elemental Potency perk.

The spells and masks can be acquired from the 3 new bosses around Skyrim.

These bosses are powerful and will be very hard to defeat with a low-level player.

Read the note they carry.

The masks are temperable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was surprised that no one ever ported this gem to SSE, so with Grohiik's permission I went ahead and did it. I made a few modifications such as increasing the size of the Air Atronach to make it look more intimidating, and I also gave it a constant whirlwind cloak effect so I would not advise trying to engage it at close range. I have included SPID for the Air Atronach Staff and spell as well so you may rarely encounter high level mages summoning these powerful Daedra in combat.

You will need to defeat the three mysterious masked men to acquire the new spells and masks. These unique bosses can be found at the following locations: Yorgrim Overlook, North Skybound Watch, and Four Skull Lookout. You must have Dragonborn DLC installed for this mod.

There is also now an optional patch for the Air Monarch mask enchantment effects for those that would prefer alternate enchantments. Let it overwrite the main file. Thanks to Androider13 for the idea!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have the Dragonborn DLC installed before downloading, or the mod won't work.

  • If you use a mod manager, let the optional patch overwrite the main file if you want the alternate enchantments.
