Playing a mage in Skyrim can often be a source of irritation. Every two minutes or so you have to refresh all your buffs, and the mage armor spells are the most annoying example of this. So here's a way to eliminate that in what I hope is a balanced way.

• []Most affected spells now cost 5 magicka to cast, though summon spells keep half (less for thralls) their normal costs as to avoid spamming in combat.

  []While active, affected spells require an investment of magicka to maintain them, reducing your maximum magicka by an amount proportional to the spell's power.

  []This "investment" cost can be halved by the appropriate perks (Novice, Apprentice, etc.)

  []Most affected spells now last a full day, most necromantic spells last a whole week, and thrall spells last about 3 years.

  []Casting a mage armor, cloak or utility (Muffle, Candlelight, etc.) spell while that spell is active will dispel the spell. Essentially toggles.

  []When your magicka reaches 0, all current "investments" will have a chance to be dispelled. Certain perks can stop this. (Stability for Alteration, Twin Souls (Master of Souls) for conjuration, Quiet Casting for Illusion, and the "does X when target is below x% HP" perks for the three main cloaks, Impact for Whirlwind and Respite for Stendarr's Aura)

  []Armor spells will grant experience when damage is taken, as well as many spells granting experience for being in combat.

  []Cloak spells (Frost/Flame/Shock/Whirlwind cloak and Stendarr's Aura) can now all stack with each other! (Could be very imbalanced, require feedback)

  []Adds dispel spells that allow you to unsummon conjured daedra and risen undead, as well as a "self" and "other" spell allowing you to dispel your own, or a targets buffs/debuffs. ("dispel - other" can be purchased from vendors)

  []Ritual spells can now be cast with one hand and only take a half-second to charge

  []Summons no longer include the "WIPDangerous" keyword, so now you don't have to worry about NPCs bitching non-stop about your hot demon from another dimension or that horde of zombies resurrected from their loved ones.

  Changes included from/in the original mod, that weren't documented originally;

  []Night eye is a toggle

  []Clairvoyance costs nothing to cast

  []Mage light lasts 3600 seconds

  []Dual casting Mage armor buffs magnitude, rather than duration
