📋 About This Mod

A patch to incorporate the earth, water, and wind magics from reaperix's Elemental Destruction Magic (EDM) into steelfeather's Path of Sorcery - Magic Perk Overhaul (PoS). Specific changes to the various perks and skill trees are described below.

Destruction Perks

The EDM perks Armor Crusher, Augmented Earth, Augmented Water, Augmented Wind, Dry Drown, and Gale Force have been incorporated in the PoS Destruction skill tree. Specific changes were made to the following perks:

  • []Augmented Earth (EDM): Changed to "Earth spells do 15% more damage and you gain 15% earth resistance". Added a second rank "Earth spells do 25% more damage and you gain 25% earth resistance".[/]

    []Augmented Water (EDM): Changed to "Water spells do 15% more damage and you gain 15% water resistance". Added a second rank "Water spells do 25% more damage and you gain 25% water resistance".[/]

    []Augmented Wind (EDM): Changed to "Wind spells do 15% more damage and you gain 15% wind resistance". Added a second rank "Wind spells do 25% more damage and you gain 25% wind resistance".[/]

    []Elementalist (PoS): Updated to work with EDM's earth, water, and wind spells.[/]

    Conjuration Perks

    In addition to the perk changes described below, EDM's Potent Atronachs and Thralls have been upgraded for better parity with the changes that PoS makes to their vanilla equivalents.

    • []Atromancy (Vanilla): Updated to work with EDM's earth, poison, water, and wind atronachs.[/]

      []Oblivion Walker (PoS): Updated to work with EDM's earth, poison, water, and wind atronachs.[/]

      []Summoner (Vanilla): Updated to work with EDM's earth, poison, water, and wind atronachs.[/]

      []Witch's Familiar (PoS): Updated to work with EDM's earth, poison, water, and wind atronachs.[/]

      Enchanting Perks

      The EDM perks Earth Enchanter, Water Enchanter, and Wind Enchanter have not been carried over, as PoS deprecates the vanilla Fire, Ice, and Shock equivalents and replaces them with the following:

      • []Elemental Might (PoS): Updated to incorporate EDM's earth, water, and wind enchantments.[/]

        []Resonance (PoS): Updated to incorporate EDM's earth, water, and wind enchantments.[/]

        []Sigils of Power (PoS): Updated to incorporate EDM's earth, water, and wind enchantments.[/]
