    This mod should be conflict-free and work with any spell or perk mods you are using. It can be installed mid-playthrough.

    ELEMENTAL FORMS

    What are elemental forms?

    Forms are essentially power-ups or auras that give benefits to the player at the cost of Magicka or Health every second that they are active.

    In addition to the buffs, the forms will enable you to use the three dynamic spells added by this mod, as well as have automatically enchanted arrows, crossbow bolts, and unarmed punches. These spells and enchantments will sap the player's Magicka or Health and will scale with the player's magic skill levels.

    How do I unlock elemental forms?

    Use the <Phenderix Elements> spell, given to the player automatically upon installing this mod, to open a menu that has many options, including the option to unlock elemental forms.

    You can also use a configurable hotkey to open this menu. By default, the open menu hotkey is "=".

    You may need to hold down the hotkey for half a second for it to trigger.

    You unlock elements by spending element points and you will initially start with 5 element points, enough to unlock your first element. Unlocking additional elements will require you to spend element points. Gain an element point every time your character levels up.

    There is also a cheat option in the menu system that will allow you to easily unlock all elements for use. However, I do encourage you to use the built-in mechanics, instead of cheating, for a more balanced and progressive character playthrough.

    How to toggle elemental forms?

    Upon unlocking an element using the menu system, you will have an element spell added to your spells list.

    Cast this spell to turn on the elemental form. Cast this same spell again to turn off the elemental form.
