First of all thank you for checking the mod, please take a look at the description before you decide to install

Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch
Compatibility

In order to safely install in middle of your playthrough, remove the standing stone blessing via console command and then install this mod
Standing Stones:
I always thought that standing stones were not that useful late game, except only two which are the lord and the Atronach stones and I felt like they could use some buff
The Apprentice :
Magicka regeneration rate : 100% > 200%
(Added 200 max magicka)
Magic resistance reduction : 100%
So this stone is for class cannon mages or conjurers who stay in the back, this is generally a good option for early game since late game is all about maxing resistance and armor rating so I buffed the good side to make it go-to for class cannon mages early game since it can not be viable late game
The Atronach :
Spell absorption : 50%Fortify max magicka : 50 > 200
Magicka regenration reduction : 50% > 100%
(Magicka does not regenerate)
This one has always been the most powerful for non magic users especially late game (reducing spell damage by 50% and turning it into magicka) but the point is sacrificing magicka, but 50% regeneration reduction did not stop warriors from using it so I had to change it to like how it was in morrowindHealth regeneration : 25% > 50%
Stamina regeneration : 25% > 50%
(Added 50% fortify speechcraft persuasion wink wink)
This one is useful but not that impactful so I buffed it a bit
Armor rating : 50 > 100
Magic reesistance : 25% > 15%
Has been the second most powerful standing stone just because of the magic resistance, so I decreased the magic resistance and buffed the armor
The lover :
Legendary Standing Stones rebalances Skyrim Special Edition's standing stones to stay relevant in late game. It buffs the Apprentice, Atronach, and Lady stones with increased regeneration, added magicka, and a speechcraft bonus. Requires USSEP and is incompatible with other standing stone overhauls.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes the Apprentice stone a viable early-game choice for glass cannon mages with a big magicka boost.
- Atronach stone now truly sacrifices magicka regen, making it a real trade-off for warriors.
- Lady stone gets a unique speechcraft bonus that fits its name and adds roleplay value.
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches three stones, leaving the rest untouched—so if you wanted a full overhaul, this is partial.
- Incompatible with any other standing stone mod, so you can't stack it with other popular overhauls.
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE patches or the Anniversary Edition.
For Skyrim players who feel the standing stones fall off in late game and want a targeted buff to the Apprentice, Atronach, and Lady stones. If you're a mage or warrior looking for a more meaningful choice, this is for you. Skip if you want a complete overhaul of all standing stones or use other mods that alter them.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Before installing mid-playthrough, open the console and type 'player.removeperk' for the standing stone blessing you have, then install the mod and re-activate the stone.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other mods.
- Since this mod is incompatible with other standing stone overhauls, check your load order for any mods that modify standing stone effects and disable them.
