✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,235 endorsements and 81,380 downloads—clearly a go-to for magic scaling.
- Simple, focused design: just makes spells scale with your skill, no bloat or extra mechanics.
- Works with mod-added spells, so your custom spell packs benefit too.
⚠️ Cons
- Conflicts with any mod that changes the listed perks, so you'll need to check your load order carefully.
- Only scales magnitude and duration—doesn't affect other spell aspects like cost or range.
- Master perks only give a 20% bonus, which might feel underwhelming compared to the 100% at Expert.
For Skyrim players who want their magic to feel more powerful as they level up, without overhauling the whole system. If you're tired of spells feeling weak at high levels, this is for you. Skip if you prefer complete magic overhauls that change perks—this mod will conflict with those.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- Check your load order for any perk overhaul mods (like Ordinator) and make sure they don't change the listed perks, or this mod won't work as intended.
- Test with a mod-added spell to confirm scaling works—if it doesn't, the spell might not use the standard casting perks.
