let me know if I missed or messed up any animation
Future Plans:
make equip animations for daggers, axes and maces that transition nicely to the mid stance (with a spell in the left hand)
Known Issues:
- the upper body does a weird little rotation to the left when casting offensive spells. I'll have to remake the casting animation to fix
This mod merges Vanargand One Handed Animations with Goetia Magic Animations, adding small edits so they transition smoothly for spellsword characters. It's a niche compatibility patch for Skyrim players who use both animation mods and want seamless combat casting. With 197 endorsements and recent updates, it's a modest but useful addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 197 endorsements and over 31k downloads
- Fills a real gap for spellsword players who want cohesive animations
- Recently updated (June 2025), so it's likely compatible with current mod versions
⚠️ Cons
- Requires two separate animation mods, so setup is more involved than a standalone mod
- Only affects animation transitions—no new animations or gameplay changes
- Potential conflicts with other animation overhauls that modify the same files
For Skyrim players who already use Vanargand One Handed Animations and Goetia Magic Animations and want smoother transitions when switching between sword and spells. Skip if you don't use both mods or prefer standalone animation packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this mod after both Vanargand and Goetia to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to easily manage file conflicts and load order.
- Check the mod's posts for any compatibility notes with other animation mods you use.
