What this mod is made for
[]Acquiring magic from a custom-placeable magic crafting station. With all the arcane visual effects that entails. Warriors can make their weapons at their own house, it's time for mages to be afforded the same luxury. That's just an example though, you can put your Spellforge literally anywhere in the whole world.
[]Filtering your choices when selecting new spells. With all the fantastic spell packs available these days, spell vendor inventories have truly become an unmanageable, headache-inducing mess. Head over to your forge instead and you can now set any combination of filters you wish for crafting your new spell. Want an Expert level spell specifically? Want to focus on Destruction? Maybe Fire spells to be exact? Only spells that behave as aimed concentration spells (like Flames)? Make your choices and you'll only see what you're interested in. While we're at it, you'll also never see spells in your crafting selection that you've already learned.
[]Getting a personal connection to your spells. Kind of like smithing and enchanting, when you've made something yourself it feels a bit more special to use.
[]No more book eating. Instead get each spell using an interactive process. You'll be manually converting ingredients to magical materials with associated arcane blasts and flame effects then you'll be personally infusing power into the forging process using your own two hands and your own magicka.
[]A new spell currency based on alchemy ingredients. This is something that encourages exploration, is more magical in nature and feels rewarding to find. Gold just isn't that interesting. Only a limited selection of ingredients work in the Forge but they have been carefully chosen so that at least one of them can be found no matter where you are in the world or which dungeon you choose to explore. And you only need 1 type of ingredient to craft any spell, though the amounts needed will vary based on rarity to maintain a fairly stable rate of progression.
[]Practical crafting of staves and scrolls. From any spell you know (as long as such a staff or scroll already exists in the game).
[*]Removing, refunding and hiding spells that you don’t enjoy. There are almost always spells in your spellbook that don’t fit your playstyle, that you tried out and didn’t like or that you’ve outgrown by levelling up. By "trapping" them in the Forge you can break them down into their base components and use those to cr
Spellforge overhauls spell acquisition in Skyrim, replacing vendor shopping with a forge that lets you craft spells by level, school, and sub-type like Fire. With 1,740 endorsements and nearly a million downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life mod for mage players seeking convenience and immersion.
