Description
This mod adds some non-projectile illusion spells. These spells are made for stealth build type characters, but can be used by anyone. They work with just about any perk mod overhaul. They can also a bit over powered. All the spells will work on any enemy and and all but one will leave you undetected.
All the spells are cast instantly on the target and all but the damaging spell will leave you undetected. This spell package is meant for powerful illusionist characters. I made this for personal use years ago, but decided to polish it up a little. It's pretty overpowered, but it's very fun. I would recommend only using Rage and Peace, personally. Bravery if you like to roll with followers. Infected and Stun are a little too OP, but i included them to fill out the power pool. I would recommend using the Infection spell in the mid to late game and the Stun spell when you're desperate.
The reason these spells work on every NPC type is that they "twist the souls" or the consciousness of the target. So the dwemer automatons are affected since they're powered by soul gems. I know they aren't being controlled by the soul, but rather the energy, but I like to think it corrupts the source of that energy/the link between the soul, Ideal Masters, and the power provided in the gem. As for the undead, they still have their consciousness in some form. As for Dragons, I haven't tested these spells on them. So uh...good luck with that. I swear, I'm still not a real modder. I'll take some feedback, but no promises I'll change anything unless it's broken.
Effect: Twist the mind of your target, unleashing the internal rage that lays within them. If your target doesn't have a mind to twist, the spell will bend their very soul. Will not alert the target

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 417 endorsements and over 12k downloads.
- Unique non-projectile illusion spells that work on all enemy types, even automatons and undead.
- Stealth-friendly: most spells leave you undetected, perfect for assassin builds.
⚠️ Cons
- Intentionally overpowered, which can trivialize encounters if you use the stronger spells like Infected or Stun.
- Author admits they're 'not a real modder' and won't change anything unless broken, so don't expect updates or tweaks.
- Dragons are untested, so using these spells on them is a gamble.
For stealth-focused illusionists who want powerful, non-projectile mind-control spells that work on anything. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who enjoys bending the rules, this pack adds fun, OP tools. Skip if you want balanced gameplay or prefer projectile-based magic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is for Skyrim, make sure you load it after any perk overhauls to ensure compatibility.
- If you're using a mod manager, use the preview feature to see the spell effects before installing.
- Test the spells on a save you don't care about, especially the Stun and Infected spells, since they're overpowered.
