📋 About This Mod

Sorcerer - A Staff and Scroll Overhaul

Sorcerer is an addon for Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul that adds two new crafting tables to the game, a scroll enchanter and a staff enchanter. These tables allow players to craft scrolls–which are otherwise only available in merchant inventories and random loot–and to craft staves without progressing through the Dragonborn DLC. Allowing scrolls and staves to be crafted opens up several interesting new gameplay niches which are suggested by the Vanilla game, but never fleshed out.

Requirements 

Sorcerer requires Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul, because it relies on the mod's many, many fixes to Vanilla staves and scrolls (as well as its new staves and scrolls), and building Sorcerer without a Mysticism dependency would have significantly increased the work required to make the mod while offering no real benefits to me.

Sorcerer requires Constructible Object Custom Keyword System. Although the mod will technically load without this mod installed, COCKS is the framework which powers the crafting menu for the scroll enchanter. Without COCKS, the table will be much more difficult to navigate, and several mechanics will be obscured to the player.

Sorcerer also comes with built-in support for Inventory Interface Information Injector, as well as some custom art for its materials, thanks to the wonderful Jelidity.

The Scroll Enchanter 

Sorcerer adds a new scroll enchanter to the game. The scroll enchanter allows the player to research and create scrolls, as well as to prepare all of the prerequisite items for scroll crafting, such as gem dust, scroll paper, and enchanted ink.

Scroll enchanters are distributed to four locations in the game: the College of Winterhold Arcanaeum, the College of Winterhold Arch-Mage’s Quarters, the Frozen Hearth (in Nelacar’s Room), and in Valerica’s Study. This distribution treats scroll enchanters as a “guild service” for the College of Winterhold, while still allowing non-College players to access to scroll enchanting mechanic, both through Nelacar’s scroll enchanter, and through a late-game scroll enchanter locked behind progression in the Dawnguard DLC. Incidentally, Sorcerer also adds a teleport spell to Valerica’s Study that allows the player to return there at will.

The crafting menu for the scroll enchanter has four categories: Gem Dust, Paper and Ink, Research, and Scrolls.

Gem Dust

In this menu, you may crush filled soul gems down into gem dust. The amount of gem dust you receive depends on the value of the soul gem you are crushing.

Paper and Ink
