MAGICAL SUPPORT FOLLOWER FRAMEWORK (MSFF)

✨

"Your followers fight for you... but do they truly support you?"

💠 OVERVIEW

MSFF brings real support magic to Skyrim’s followers.

This framework adds a collection of intelligent AIs designed to assist the player — or even other followers — using magic rationally and efficiently.

No patches, no edits, no messy scripts.

If a follower responds to the Favor command, they can use MSFF — even fully modded followers.

⚙️ CORE FEATURES

Each AI can be toggled on/off through the MSFF Menu.

You’ll find the menu automatically when you decide to turn a follower into:

• Support for the Player

• Support for other Followers

The menu appears naturally through the Favor System — no more ugly power abilities cluttering your magic list.

🩹 HEALER AI

• Activates when player is standing still and under a set health threshold.

• Diseases are healed first, then health.

• Healing scales with follower’s Restoration skill.

• Uses the most efficient spell based on player health.

🛡️ PROTECTION AI

• Activates in combat when the player is not moving and not already protected by magic armor.

🌊 WATER AI

• Enter water not sneaking → follower casts Water Breathing.

• Enter water while sneaking → follower casts Water Walking.

🕶️ CONCEALMENT AI

• Casts Muffle and Invisibility when player is sneaking.

💫 SUPPORT ILLUSIONS AI

• Casts Courage, Health/Stamina/Magicka Regen buffs.

• Activates during combat or power attacks, when stamina ≤ chosen threshold.

• Threshold editable in MSFF Menu.

💡 LIGHT & VISION AI

• In dark areas: casts Magelight (if not sneaking).

• While sneaking: casts Night Eye.

⚡ SPEED AI

• Casts a speed buff when the player starts sprinting.

🦋 JUMPING AI

• On jump → Slow Fall.

• On repeated stationary jump → Jump Spell.

• On forward jump/fall → Levit
