📋 About This Mod

Adds expert and master wards that were missing from the vanilla game.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

More Wards - Expert and Master adds two new spells to Skyrim's ward system: Superior Ward, a more powerful channeled ward, and Force Cloak, a non-channeling master spell that absorbs spell damage. Spells are obtained through normal progression, with optional patches for Better Wards and magic scaling mods.

✨ Key Features

Adds Superior Ward, a more powerful version of the standard ward spell.
Adds Force Cloak, a master-level non-channeling spell that creates a passive shield absorbing spell damage.
Force Cloak does not regenerate health and does not stagger when it breaks.
Spells are integrated into the game's progression; Force Cloak requires completing the Ritual Restoration quest.
Optional files for compatibility with Better Wards and a patch to double the master spell's magnitude for magic scaling mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Fills a real gap in Skyrim's magic system—expert and master wards were missing, and this adds them.
  • Force Cloak is a clever twist on wards: no channeling, so you can still fight while shielded.
  • Community-tested with 230 endorsements and over 8,000 downloads, so it's proven stable.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2016, so it may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Optional patches are noted as 'still need some testing,' so they might not be fully stable.
  • Force Cloak's magnitude is script-handled, so it won't scale with magic mods unless you use the optional patch.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim mage players who want to complete their ward arsenal, especially those who prefer non-channeling defensive spells. Also for restoration-focused characters who want a master-level option. Skip if you're not into magic or prefer more combat-oriented spell mods.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use Better Wards, grab the optional compatibility patch to avoid duplicate spells.
  • Force Cloak is a great choice for mage builds that need defense without tying up both hands.
  • To get Force Cloak, make sure you've completed the Ritual Restoration quest in the College of Winterhold.
