New spells
Odin adds new spells that respect the history of the Elder Scrolls series. The new spells are designed to be interesting to use and to look and feel like official content. While some other magic overhauls may add more spells, Odin aims to avoid unnecessary spell clutter. Every spell is designed to be a useful addition to a mage's repertoire.
Integration into Skyrim
Odin is seamlessly integrated into Skyrim. The new spell tomes, scrolls and staves can be bought and looted from the same sources as vanilla equivalents of the same level.
