original desctription
As a mage i hate manual labor & mining it just really annoys me. If this was SWTOR i would tell my companion to do it, but since u cant i
made this mod to make mining faster & not have to carry around a
heavy pickaxe all the time.

mine ore. To use it just point & shoot at ore veins to start mining.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 654 endorsements and over 16k downloads.
- Saves inventory space by eliminating the need to carry a pickaxe.
- Works on stalhrim, a nice bonus for Solstheim content.
⚠️ Cons
- No XP gain, so you won't level up your Smithing or Alteration while mining.
- Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Potential conflicts with other mining overhauls or spell mods that alter the same mechanics.
For Skyrim players who hate carrying a pickaxe and want a convenient way to mine ore and gems, especially on Solstheim. If you're a completionist who wants to level up Smithing through mining, this mod won't help. Skip if you prefer immersive mining mechanics or use mods that overhaul mining.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to read the spell tome or add the spell via console if it doesn't appear automatically.
- If you're using a mod manager, install manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Test the spell on a regular ore vein first to ensure it works with your load order.
