📋 About This Mod
Assigns appropriate icons to spell tomes based on the school of magic they belong to. Works with every spell pack and mod, no patching necessary. ESP-FE.
Doesn't B. O. O. B. I. E. S already do that?
B. O. O. B. I. E. S only supports a limited number of spell packs and mods, since there it's done manually. This works with everything, even the mods that B. O. O. B. I. E. S doesn't support, by assigning keywords to spell tomes using KID.
What doesn't it work with?
Spell tomes that teach shouts and powers, since they don't belong to any school. They will have a standard icon.
This mod should be loaded before (higher than) B. O. O. B. I. E. S. Otherwise some spell tomes with a unique icon, such as the ones from Necrom, will be overwritten.
Inventory Interface Information Injector, Keyword Item Distributor (KID) and B. O. O. B. I. E. S (aka Immersive Icons) are required.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,208 endorsements and over half a million downloads.
- No patching needed—just install and it works with all spell mods.
- ESP-FE means it won't eat your plugin slots, perfect for heavy load orders.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2023—might not be tested with the newest Skyrim updates, but likely still works.
- Purely cosmetic—if you don't care about icon visuals, this adds nothing gameplay-wise.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you can't see the icons before installing.
For Skyrim players who use multiple spell mods and want a cleaner, more organized inventory. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who loves visual consistency, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about inventory aesthetics or if you're on a strict mod limit (though ESP-FE helps).
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-FE, you can safely add it to any load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps things tidy.
- If you use a lot of spell mods, this will automatically apply icons to their tomes, so no need to patch anything.
