Remorseless Winter - A Deathknight Spell Pack

Since I mostly play Deathknight-ish characters whenever necromancy is a possibility in an RPG I decided to create my own modded spells taking Warcraft's third generation Deathknight's abilities and spells as inspiration.

Before getting into the spells I GREATLY RECOMMEND this Frost FX Overhaul: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/29817

It will make all frost/ice spells look a million times better. (see pics)

If you want your summoned Undead to actually rise from the ground you should get this :    https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33955

And lastly if you need Deathknight-ish armor : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/145864

If youre updating to 1. 9 from a previous version make sure to go to Windhelm and eat the frozen heart again.

Description:

Adds some new Deathknight inspired Spells to the game.

The Spells:

- Death Coil:

Blast your enemies with shadowdamage and inflict a "withering" status on them which deals additional shadow- and magicka damage over time.

Does more damage if the enemy is affected by "frostfever".

- Defile Corpse:

Deny your enemies the mercy of death by turning their corpse into either a Ghoul Servant if they are a male humanoid (Nord,Redguard,Imperial or Breton) ,

a Banshee Servant if they are a female elf (high-, dark- or woodelves will count. Orcs just didnt fit with the Warcraft lore and there arent any female snowelves in Vanilla as far as I know)

or an Undead Dragon Servant if they are a Dragon.

READ:

THE SCRIPT USES THE DISABLE COMMAND TO MAKE THE CORPSE DISAPPEAR SO NPCS THAT CANT BE DISABLED (GUARDS FOR EXAMPLE) WONT DISAPPEAR WHEN USING THIS SPELL ON THEIR CORPSE. IT WILL STILL CREATE THE NEW SERVANT THOUGH. THIS MEANS YOU COULD CREATE AN ARMY FROM JUST 1 GUARD CORPSE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT INTENDED BUT I DIDNT WANT TO EDIT VANILLA RECORDS.

- Icy Grave:

Freeze the air into giant Ice Spears that come crashing down all around y
