📋 About This Mod
Just a simple port of pauderek's essential LE special effects mod "Burn Freeze Shock (BFS) Effects" for SE/AE.
All credit to pauderek! <3
So fun turning enemies into popsicles or crispy, crackly nuggets! (Namira approves.)
2nd NOTE: idk if this is a result of porting or not, but you don't need the "Augmented" perks to see the visual effects. Also, hitting enemies with Fire Frost or Shock enchanted weapons has a chance of applying their effect to the corpse. Send a Draugur flying with a smack of your frost warhammer and watch it turn into a Draug-sicle in mid-air. Or, take out your anger on its corpse after it's dead and watch your enchanted weapon apply its destructive magic (doesnt drain your weapon to do so, either)! Torches also will apply the burned effect upon a killing blow, or after death; you may have to smack (bash) em a few times. And, it seems certain corpses (eg trolls, vampires) ignite & burn much faster than others; quite immersive! :D
RECOMMENDED: Install with a mod manager. (I use Vortex. tried the other managers and I definitely prefer vortex.)

[]Sometimes the effects applied directly to the skin ARE working but they are overridden by other shaders and disappear, if you remove any equipped item on the victim the effects will render again. This tends to happen more often if dual casting.

This mod ports the 'BFS effects' shader to apply burned, frozen, or calcinated skin visuals when killing enemies with magic or enchanted weapons. It's a niche cosmetic enhancement for players who want more visual feedback from elemental kills, though it has no endorsements yet.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds satisfying visual feedback for elemental kills
- Works with both spells and enchanted weapons, so it covers more playstyles
- Fresh port with zero endorsements but over 6k downloads shows interest
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements means it's unproven in the community
- Last updated in 2022, so it might be outdated for current game versions
- Potential conflicts with other visual overhaul mods that alter kill effects
For players who want more dramatic death effects when using fire, frost, or shock magic. If you're into immersion and visual feedback, this is a nice touch. Skip if you prefer minimalistic visuals or don't use elemental combat.
