📋 About This Mod
4HqtP9F-_bkL9A6QHLIWg0
This mod adds the mighty Soulbug Familiar! The Soulbug Familiar is the enchanter's and necromancer's best friend. Little is known about it - where does it come from? The Soul Cairn, a plane of Oblivion? There is one thing we know for sure - it likes to feast on souls from poor creatures. And, when summoned by a master conjurer, it transfers the absorbed soul to one of the caster's Soul Gems.
One must prove worthy of such spell. To craft it, you must discover the Atronach Forge (Winterhold) and bring some ingredients. You will need a Torchbug's thorax, a ruined book, a bowl of ectoplasm and a filled Black Soul Gem. Once the spell tome is yours, you will be able to summon the Soulbug. As long as you have the Soul Gems, it will keep harvesting the Souls of your fallen enemies.
I hope you all enjoy my work and will love it as much as I loved creating it.

This mod is for Skyrim players who enjoy necromancer or enchanter playstyles and want a convenient soul-farming companion.
