📋 About This Mod
Challenging Spell Learning is an absolute must have in my load order, but I always liked the idea of having a book reading animation to play during spell learning effect instead of the original four variants. So I made this patch and thought I'd share it with the community. tjhm4 was gracious enough to give me permission to upload this patch( Thank you again!), so be sure to head over there to endorse!
