📋 About This Mod
Tired of seeing a blue swirl randomly appear around NPCs?
This mod removes the swirl effect caused by NPCs unintentionally absorbing mod spells. This is done by making the absorb spell effect invisible, which means that you will no longer see the spell used whatsoever. The only alternative to this would be to go through each mod that is a potential culprit, and tag its spells as "No Absorb/Reflect," which is not particularly practical.
As such, by using this mod, you are making the trade-off of no longer being able to see NPCs absorb spell effects. If this is an important part to your play through, I don't recommend installing this mod, though you can at any point safely remove it.
Removes the annoying swirl effect that appears when NPCs unintentionally absorb mod spells. A simple quality-of-life fix for Skyrim players tired of visual clutter, with 1,405 endorsements and over 105,000 downloads.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager to easily toggle it on/off if you suspect conflicts.
- Load order usually doesn't matter for texture/mesh replacers, but place it after other visual mods to ensure it takes effect.
- If you use many spell mods, test in a crowded area to confirm the swirl is gone.
