📋 About This Mod
Sonorum Arcana is now released, and as such this mod may not be updated as frequently!
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.
DISCLAIMER: The beautiful cover art for this mod is Magnus and his "Eye" by the talented Pavel Shipilin, please visit his artstation to see more!
This took far longer to finish than expected simply because of how little inspiration I've had for these sounds. I sat down and finished the last of them overnight so I could release Aurum before the New Year.
I've taken the time to replace all alteration-related sounds, however PLEASE NOTE that some magic mods will break the ISC sound descriptors for Dragonhide, which means you need to create a patch for them. I will not provide this on my page.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 322 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads
- Works with both vanilla and ISC, so it fits into most load orders
- Fills a niche gap—Alteration SFX rarely get love
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Alteration school—if you want a full magic overhaul, this won't cover it
- No recent updates since December 2023, so it might not be actively maintained
- Potential conflicts with other audio mods that touch Alteration sounds—check your load order
For Skyrim players who are tired of the default Alteration sounds and want a fresh take, especially if you already use Immersive Sounds Compendium. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive magic audio overhaul—this only covers Alteration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Immersive Sounds Compendium, make sure Aurum loads after ISC so its sounds take priority.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- Test in-game by casting a few Alteration spells (like Oakflesh) to hear the new effects immediately.
