📋 About This Mod
Sonorum Arcana is now released, and as such this mod may not be updated as frequently!
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.

Hibernus is a near-complete overhaul of frost magic sounds, comprehensively mixed and hand-tailored to chill you to the bone. Frost magic has always felt underwhelming in Skyrim despite it being set in the coldest region of Tamriel, so hopefully you'll enjoy what I've made for you.
Here are some soundcloud previews of Hibernus' sound effects:

Install like any other audio mod, loaded after all other audio mods that affect frost magic. I highly recommend using Immersive Sounds - Compendium as a baseline as all my mods are based around its architecture.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 669 endorsements and over 159k downloads
- Focused scope: just frost spells, so it won't clutter your load order
- Pairs perfectly with Immersive Sounds for a cohesive audio experience
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Immersive Sounds to work as intended, so you'll need that mod installed

- Compatibility risk with other audio mods that touch frost spell sounds
For Skyrim players who use Immersive Sounds and want deeper, more immersive frost magic audio. Perfect for mage builds where frost spells are a staple. Skip if you don't use Immersive Sounds or prefer vanilla sound effects.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Immersive Sounds is installed and loaded before this mod in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test frost spells in-game after installation to confirm the new sounds are active.
