📋 About This Mod

Hi. I am ARTA14.

I am not good at English. So I use a translator.

This mod adds the Breton Wizard Aurora to skyrim.

She mainly uses the Lightning Magic, and when her health is low, she uses the Healing Magic.

She has a perk to quickly recover magicka, but still prefers to fight with one hand swords if the magicka is lacking.

She is a very powerful Destruction Wizard, but her health is very poor. The defense is also very low.

I don't recommend sending her to the front line alone. You or your Follower should protect her. (If she is too powerful, use an optional file.)

She is essential, And you can marry her. XD

Depending on the ENB you use, it may be different from the screenshot I uploaded.(I use anko ENB.)

I don't want you to be disappointed after you install this mod.

So, please see the vanilla screenshot without the ENB applied.

I wonder what my character will look like on someone else's skyrim.

If you don't mind, please post your great screenshot!

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Adds Aurora, a Breton Destruction Wizard follower to Skyrim Special Edition. She uses Lightning Magic, heals at low health, and has perks in Destruction, Restoration, and Alteration. Found in The Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun, she is essential and marriageable. Note: incompatible with ARTA Follower Pack V1, and ESL-flagged as of version 4.0, requiring a new game if updating from older versions.

✨ Key Features

Adds standalone Breton Wizard follower Aurora to Skyrim SE.
Aurora uses Lightning Magic primarily and Healing Magic when health is low.
She has perks in Sneak, Alteration (75), Destruction (100), and Restoration (75).
Located in The Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun.
Essential and marriageable.
Compatible with any body mod since she uses the default body type.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid follower mod with 271 endorsements and over 7k downloads, so plenty of people are running her.
  • She's a glass cannon mage—powerful Destruction but squishy, which makes for interesting combat dynamics if you like protecting your caster.
  • Uses vanilla voice type and body, so she'll fit into most setups without extra patches.

⚠️ Cons

  • Incompatible with ARTA Follower Pack V1—if you have that pack, you'll need to pick one or the other.
  • ESL-flagged as of v4.0 means a new game is required if you're updating from an older version, which is a hassle for existing saves.
  • Health and defense are very low, so she'll die fast if you send her into melee—you'll need to babysit her in fights.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a dedicated Destruction mage follower with a specific combat style and marriage option. If you enjoy supporting a squishy caster and have a tanky follower or play a melee character yourself, she'll fit right in. Skip if you prefer followers that can hold their own in melee or if you're using ARTA Follower Pack V1.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since she's ESL-flagged, make sure your mod manager supports ESL files (most do now) and load her mod after any mods that alter Whiterun's Drunken Huntsman.
  • If you're using a body mod like CBBE or UNP, she'll automatically use it—no need for a compatibility patch.
  • To avoid the new game requirement, install v4.0 fresh or start a new playthrough if you're upgrading from an older version.
