📋 About This Mod
Lazily copying and pasting the brief overview because it's not that deep.
Inserts 3 spells balanced in-line with the vanilla ward spells to the game. When cast they each spell will allow you to project a ward of the appropriate magnitude while blocking with anything besides Spellbreaker. A fourth spell acts as a toggle, allowing you to permanently cast the highest level battle ward you know until cast again.
Nothing vanilla is edited and the tomes that teach the new spells are dynamically added on first launch.
Haven't done much testing with non-vanilla environments, feel free to let me know in the comments if things are whack.
Battle Wards adds three new ward spells to Skyrim, balanced to match vanilla wards. Casting one lets you project a ward while blocking with any item except Spellbreaker. A fourth spell is mentioned but its details are cut off. This is a small, focused magic mod for players who want more ward options.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche pick with 222 endorsements and over 5,400 downloads—clearly some folks are using it.
- Balanced to vanilla wards, so it won't break your game's power curve.
- Works with any blocking item except Spellbreaker, giving you flexibility in how you play.
⚠️ Cons
- The description cuts off mid-sentence, so you're going in blind on that fourth spell.
- Last updated in January 2022—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Small scope: if you're not into ward magic, this won't change much for you.
For mage players who want more ward options without overpowered custom spells. If you're a spellsword or battlemage who likes blocking with a ward, this is right up your alley. Skip if you're not into wards or want major gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a magic mod, make sure you have the spells added to leveled lists or buy them from vendors—check the mod's in-game location if you can't find them.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, double-check that the mod is compatible with your version, as it was last updated in 2022.
- Test the wards with different weapons and shields to see how they interact with your blocking setup.
