✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 239 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Works with any perk overhaul, so no conflicts with your favorite mods.
- Simple, focused change that makes fireball feel more impactful.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects the fireball spell, so if you want knockback on other spells, this won't help.
- Potential compatibility risk with mods that alter fireball's behavior or add new spells.
For Skyrim mages who want more physical oomph from their fireball and enjoy knocking enemies off their feet. If you're running a perk overhaul and want a simple tweak without extra features, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for broader magic overhauls or if you play on a version that might not be compatible with older mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
- Since it's compatible with perk overhauls, you can safely use it alongside popular mods like Ordinator or Perkus Maximus.
- Check the optional dual-cast version if you often use dual casting—it adds the knockback to that variant as well.
