📋 About This Mod
This mod makes modifications to the Blood of the Ancients magic effect from the Bloodstone Chalice so that the effect is permanent. I have also set the buff to give incremental increases to max health, those increments being 15, 30, 50, 75 and 100 based on how many times you have upgraded the Chalice.
Compatibility:
Anything that makes modifications to the vampire drain spells/effects, DLC1Radiant quest, DLC1RadiantScript will likely need a patch.
I've included patches for a few vampire overhaul mods: Sacrosanct, Sacrilege, Scion, and Better Vampires.
These patches were tested with USSEP and the base overhaul, I cannot guarantee compatibility if you have other mods that make changes to these overhauls.
Incompatibilities:
- Runic Dawnguard - Separated Lost Relic QuestlineRunic Dawnguard - Separated Lost Relic Questline | I will look into creating a patch at some point if possible.
This mod alters the Blood of the Ancients magic effect in Skyrim to be permanent, granting incremental max health boosts based on the number of Bloodstone Chalice upgrades. It's a targeted tweak for players who want a lasting benefit from the Dawnguard questline, with 179 endorsements and recent updates.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 179 endorsements and over 53k downloads.
- Adds a meaningful permanent reward to the Dawnguard questline.
- Recently updated (October 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal—only affects one specific magic effect, so it's not for everyone.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter Blood of the Ancients or the Bloodstone Chalice.
- No detailed description of exact health values or scaling, so you'll need to test in-game.
For Skyrim players who want the Blood of the Ancients to be a lasting buff rather than a temporary one, especially those who invest in the Bloodstone Chalice upgrades. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or don't use Dawnguard content.
💡 Beginner Tips
