📋 About This Mod
What this mod does: __________________________________________________________________
This mod adds 7 new restoration spells to Skyrim. They are poison spells based off the Poison Rune added in the Dragonborn DLC.
This mod also adds staffs, scrolls, and a new poison enchantment which are all added to the appropriate leveled lists.
Full Spell List __________________________________________________________________
Venom Spray (Novice) A blast of poison that does 5 points of damage. Targets that fail to resist take 3 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds.
Poison (Apprentice) A bolt of poison that does 15 points of damage. Targets that fail to resist take 3 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds.
Toxic cloak (Apprentice) For 60 seconds, opponents in melee range who fail to resist take 4 points of poison damage per second.
Toxic Spores (Adept) A burst of poison spores that does 15 points of damage in a 15 foot radius. Targets that fail to resist take 5 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds.
Serpent's Fang (Expert) A bolt of poison that does 20 points of damage. Targets that fail to resist take 8 points of poison damage per second for 10 seconds.
Wall of Tendrils (Expert) Sprayed on the ground, it creates a wall of grasping tendrils that trips enemies and does 38 points of poison damage per second.
Poison Storm (Master) An explosion of powerful poison centered on the caster. Targets that fail to resist take 10 points of poison damage per second for 15 seconds.
Special Notes: __________________________________________________________________
Poison Storm, the master level spell, can be purchased from Colette Marence only after the quest Restoration Ritual Spell has been completed.
The cloak spell for this set is set to apprentice level, because that is where the rune spell would normally go. It is weaker than the other cloak spells.
All of the items are added to the lists using one script which will only run once per character. After you install the mod and load a save you should receive the message 'Poison Magic of Skyrim initialized', that means the script has been run and it will never run again. If you want to remove the script anyway, there is an apple near the chest in front of High Hrothgar you can eat.
This mod should be compatible with everything because it does not edit any lists.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 331 endorsements and over 8k downloads.
- Adds a whole new school of poison magic to Restoration, giving mages more variety.
- Includes staves and scrolls, so non-casters can get in on the poison action.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires Dragonborn DLC, so if you don't have that, you're out of luck.
- Poison spells might feel redundant if you already use alchemy or other poison mods.
For Skyrim players who want to expand Restoration with offensive poison spells, especially those who enjoyed the Poison Rune from Dragonborn. Also for collectors who like having staves and scrolls for every spell type. Skip if you prefer pure healing or want more dramatic gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Dragonborn DLC installed, or the mod won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- The master spell Poison Storm only appears after you complete the Restoration Ritual Spell quest, so don't panic if you can't find it early.
