📋 About This Mod

Adds spell casting hand effects with ENB light to the Winterhold Mage statue.

Comes in two flavors - Fire/Frost and Fire/Shock.

This is a mesh replacer, so it will conflict with any other mod that changes the mage statue nif.

Texture replacers are fine.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge download count (371k+) shows it's a go-to for many players.
  • 1,508 endorsements from the community—people actually like it.
  • ENB light support means it'll pop in your setup if you use ENB.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2021—might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
  • Purely cosmetic—no gameplay changes, so if you want more than looks, skip.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement.
  • Make sure you have ENB installed to see the light effects; otherwise it's just a statue replacer.
  • Check if you have other mods that alter the same statue—load order might matter.
