MYSTICISM - THE LOST ART

Mysticism - The Lost Art for Skyrim OG

'Mysticism - The Lost Art' adds spells and powers to Skyrim with a view to partially restoring the 'Mysticism' school of magic from Oblivion, Morrowind, etc.

It does not add Mysticism itself to the game parallel to the existing magic schools of Destruction, Restoration, Conjuration, Alteration, and Illusion. Instead, it adds spells to those schools, which historically are associated with Mysticism. It also adds some new spells and powers not present in Mysticism in past games but which fit into the theme of Mysticism well. Finally, it augments some pre-existing spells in the game which are properly considered Mysticism spells. As such, the new Mysticism "skill" is better thought of as a common thread which runs through the existing magic schools in Skyrim, rather than a brand new magic school in its own right.

NEW SPELLS:

Destruction:

  • []Absorb Stamina - Absorb 10 points of Stamina per second from the target. Apprentice Destruction spell.

    []Absorb Magicka - Absorb 10 points of Magicka per second from the target. Adept Destruction spell.

    []Absorb Health - Absorb 10 points of Health per second from the target. Expert Destruction spell.

    Conjuration:

    • []Soul Scry - Perceive the souls of nearby creatures and people. How you percieve them depends on the quality of the soul. Apprentice Conjuration spell.

      Alteration:

      • []Detect Key - Nearby keys can be seen through walls. Novice Alteration spell.

        []Detect Enchantment - Nearby enchanted items can be seen through walls. Apprentice Alteration spell.

        []Transmute Soul Gem - Transmutes one Greater Soul Gem to a Grand Soul Gem, or a Grand Soul Gem to a Black Soul Gem if the caster is carrying any.

        []Mark - Mark a teleportation target at your current position. Expert Alteration spell.

        []Recall - Recall to a teleportation target. Expert Alteration spell.

        Restoration:

        • []Dispel - Chance to dispel magic from self. Adept Restoration spell.

          []Nullify - Chance to dispel magic from target. Expert Restoration spell.

          []Reflect Spell - Wards have a chance to reflect magic spells that hit them.

          Illusion:

          • []Silence - Targets are silenced for 30 seconds and unable to cast spells. Expert Illusion spell.

            Powers:

            []Soulfire - Merge your magicka pool with the power reserves of your equipped weapons.

            []Divine Intervention - Once per day, teleport to a nearby shrine of the Divines.

            []Ancestral Intervention - Once per day, teleport to a nearby shrine of the ancestors.

            [*]Soul Harvester - Efficiently trap so
