=================================================
1. What it does:
The player is given an ability that grants a massive boosts Magicka Regeneration. This boosts ends when the player takes damage or casts a spell and goes into a cooldown. Casting spells or taking damage resets the cooldown. The regeneration boost becomes active once the player has avoided both getting hit and casting spells. However, while the boost is inactive, Magicka Regeneration is reduced. Magicka regeneration enchants also increases the boost granted by Eldritch Battery.
Eldritch Battery enables heavy use of magic early game, without having to rely on staves, scrolls and potions (you'll still need them on occations).
Wearing light or heavy armour reduces the chance of the boost going into cooldown when taking hits, while also lessens the Boost Effect provided by Eldritch Battery. A fully armoured player doesn't lose the boost when hit by an attack, at the cost of the bonus being only half as effective. Leveling up your armor skill will eventually allow you to reach the full bonus. Also, helmets provide hit protection but doesn't cause any boost penalty, allowing you to wear priest masks.
Blocking attacks also prevents the boost from going into cooldown.
=================================================
2. MCM-settings
The Mod configuration menu allows you to adjust the cooldown time, as well as the game setting "Combat Magicka Regen multiplier". Your total magicka regeneration is multiplied by this value when in combat. If you feel like the boost is too high or too low, you can adjust this setting. You also have the option to disable the mod temporary or uninstall it completely.
=================================================
3. Compatability and requirements:
Not compatible with Skyrim VR. I do not intend to fix this.
Eldritch Battery is designed to be compatible with everything and doesn't require any DLC.
It does require the latest Skyrim update and optionally SkyUI and SKSE to get access to configuration menu.
=================================================

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 832 endorsements and nearly 28k downloads.
- Simple, effective mechanic that rewards careful spell management.
- No extra dependencies, so it's easy to slot into any load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- The mechanic might make combat too forgiving for some players, reducing challenge.
- Potential conflicts with other mana regen mods or overhaul mods that alter similar mechanics.
For mages who hate chugging magicka potions mid-fight and want a more passive regen option. It's also great for players who like to plan their spell casts and take cover to recover. Skip if you prefer hardcore mana management or use mods that already overhaul magicka regen.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Test in a combat scenario to see how the regen delay feels; you can adjust your playstyle to take advantage of the downtime.
- If you're using a mod manager, use the preview feature to check for conflicts with other magic mods.
