This is a utility mod for players who want convenient access to trading and storage without fast traveling.

✨ Key Features

Adds two lesser power spells: Astral Merchant and Astral Chest, castable outside combat with no magicka cost.
Astral Merchant opens a barter menu with a general merchant who has 750+ gold and useful supplies, restocking like normal merchants.
Astral Chest opens a safe storage chest in the astral plane, ideal for hauling loot from dungeons.
Two versions available: one with no cost, and one that impairs magicka, stamina, and health regeneration for three minutes after casting.
Spells can be purchased from Riverwood Trader, Bits and Pieces in Solitude, and Niranye's stand in Windhelm.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved utility mod with 569 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
  • Two versions let you choose between pure convenience or a balanced trade-off for using the spells.
  • Astral Chest is a lifesaver for loot hoarders—no more leaving treasure behind in dungeons.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2017, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Cannot cast during combat, so you can't use it as an escape or mid-fight restock.
  • May conflict with mods that alter merchant containers, as noted in the description.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who hate backtracking to sell loot or store items. If you're a hoarder or want a portable merchant without fast travel, this is for you. Skip if you want combat-castable spells or prefer more immersive trading mechanics.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like NMM to install and switch between the two versions easily.
  • If you switch versions, your existing spells and stored items carry over, so don't worry about losing progress.
  • Buy the spells early from Riverwood Trader to unlock portable storage right away.
