✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 757 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads.
- Instant casting feels snappy and makes combat more fluid.
- Simple concept that does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects some spells in the other schools, so coverage is uneven.
- Last updated in 2018, so it may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game versions.
- Removing casting animations can break visual feedback and may feel overpowered for some players.
For Skyrim players who find the casting animation tedious and want a faster, more aggressive magic playstyle. If you're a purist who enjoys the weight of casting, this isn't for you. It's a small tweak that fits well with combat overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod affects spell casting, test it with your favorite Destruction spells to see which ones are changed.
