📋 About This Mod
eTgrGaWAmyU
This mod adds several classic spells from Oblivion and Morrowind that never got featured in Skyrim. You will find them as loot, or can buy them from merchants in both tome and scroll forms. Each spell is well balanced in rarity, magicka cost, skill level requirement and power, and enemy mages will be able to use some of them against you; this is to make the mod as seamless with the base game as possible. Very lightweight and should be compatible with pretty much everything.
Powers
Summon Ancestor Ghost: Added to the Dark Elf's "Ancestral Wrath" racial ability. Once a day you can summon the ghost of one your Dark Elf's ancestors for one minute. The ghost is a battlemage and is pretty effective early on.
Conjuration
Conjure Skeleton Guardian (Apprentice): A skeleton with an axe and shield. Pretty handy against low level opponents one-on-one. Can be summoned for even longer with the Necromancy perk.
Conjure Skeleton Hero (Adept): An armored skeleton with a greatsword and twice as much health. More effective in combat as you can imagine. Can be summoned for even longer
with the Necromancy perk.
Mark and Recall (Adept): Mark will place a portal at your location for 2 minutes (longer if dual casted). Use Recall to teleport back to it from anywhere else. In other words - a portable portal. Great for making quick escapes as a stealth character.
Conjure Skeleton Champion (Expert): A battlemage skeleton. Has a sword and shoots ice spears. From a distance he is a real force to be reckoned with, but is pretty weak up close. Can be summoned for even longer with the Necromancy perk.
Conjure Dwarven Sphere (Expert): Self explanatory. Summons a Dwarven Sphere that is quick and has powerful melee attacks. To unlock the spell you must have a Conjuration skill of at least 75, and like in Morrowind read the book called "Secrets of Dwemer Animunculi". The book can be found on the enchanting table of Calcelmo's lab in Understone Keep.
Alteration
Waterwalking (Apprentice): Can walk on water for 30 seconds single casted, or for one minute dual casted. This can actually be a life saver if you are playing with Frostfall.
Feather (Apprentice, Adept and Expert): Increases your carry weight by either 25 (Apprentice spell), 50 (Adept spell) or 75 (Expert spell) for one minute (longer if dual casted).
Burden (Apprentice): Slows the target down by 50% for 15 seconds (longer if dual casted)[/s
