📋 About This Mod
VAE Patch: Applies Visual Animated Enchantment effects to Thaumaturgy weapon enchantments. Includes the new enchantments and the vanilla modified enchantments. Visual Animated Enchants - VAE AND QRVAE - Qwinn's Refined Visual Animated Enchants ... Adjusted Visual Animated Enchants (AVAE) is optional but recommended.
AVE Patch: Resolves conflicts in the level list between Armor Variant Expansion and Thamaturgy to ensure enchanted armor from both mods appear in the level list. This is a simple patch and currently does NOT create additional Armor Variants for AVE that will use the new custom Thaumaturgy enchantments; however, AVE will spawn with modified vanilla enchantments.
Player Spell Lighting Patch: Thaumaturgy will benefit from Player Spell Lighting
This patch mod integrates Thaumaturgy with Visual Animated Enchantments, Armor Variant Expansion, and Player Spell Lighting. It applies visual effects to Thaumaturgy weapon enchantments, resolves level list conflicts with AVE, and adds spell lighting to enchantments. For Skyrim modders using these mods together, this ensures compatibility and enhanced visuals.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (384) and high downloads (71k+) show it's trusted by the community.
- Fixes real compatibility issues between popular mods, saving you from broken level lists.
- Adds visual flair to enchantments, making your weapons look as good as they hit.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the base mods (VAE, VAER, AVE, PSL) to work, so it's not standalone.
- Only affects Thaumaturgy enchantments, so if you don't use that mod, it's useless.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same level lists or enchantment visuals.
For Skyrim modders who run Thaumaturgy alongside Visual Animated Enchantments and Armor Variant Expansion. If you want your enchantments to look as good as they perform and avoid level list bugs, this is for you. Skip if you don't use these specific mods.

- Load this patch after Thaumaturgy and the other mods in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check the mod's posts for any specific load order instructions, as patches often need precise placement.
