📋 About This Mod
A small mod that looks to enhance the spells Candlelight and Magelight.
Spellights enhances Skyrim's Candlelight and Magelight spells with a natural cool yellow color, doubled Candlelight radius and duration, and Magelight's radius increased 10x with 4x brightness and 3-minute duration. Includes an optional blue-color variant. A well-received cosmetic/utility tweak with 704 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 704 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Makes Candlelight actually useful for dark nights and interiors
- Magelight becomes a proper room-lighting tool, not just a floating orb
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so may have compatibility issues with newer mods or Skyrim versions
- Color change to yellow might not appeal to everyone; optional blue file requires separate install
- Increased radius and brightness could affect performance on lower-end systems, especially with multiple lights
For Skyrim players who find the vanilla light spells too weak or ugly and want a simple, balanced enhancement. Also for mage characters who rely on light spells for exploration. Skip if you prefer the original blue glow or want more complex spell overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, you can install both the main and optional files to switch between colors easily.
- The optional blue file is a separate download—install it instead of the main file if you want the original color.
- This mod only affects the two spells, so it's safe to use with most other mods, but test with lighting overhauls like ELFX or Climates of Tamriel.
