Unattuned - Immersive Spell Failure

Hello! Please check out my Patreon for general updates about my mods as well as sneak peaks of future projects (it's free)!

Magic is dangerous. Littered throughout in-game texts and conversation is evidence that magic is a difficult and dangerous undertaking. Spells can fail if you do not maintain focus or have the adequate skill. This mod adds spell failure to the game. Many spell archetypes have unique failure mechanisms. All spell mods are compatible.

All spells are automatically compatible. The exception is that not all spell mods with automatically have a unique failure mechanism. These unique mechanisms rely on certain vanilla keywords or magic effect data. If a mod changes this or doesn't include the vanilla equivalents, it will not have the unique mechanics. However, all spells will have a basic failure effect that varies by spell school. A change to the scripts (v1. 1. 0) now makes it so even less patches are required.  As of v1. 2. 0 Unattuned is compatibility with all mods that edit vanilla spells. Also compatible with all mods listed in the compatibility section. I will continue to add support for spell mods via the KID ini file. Although not every spell has a unique failure effect, all spells should  be able to fail and will have a school specific failure instead.

I highly recommend you use this in conjunction with my other mod: Charged Concentration. Instead, you can use this with Controlled Casting. It is a soft requirement as it makes concentration spells take time to cast, giving them a chance to fail via this mod. Concentration spells may still fail without this mod, though they feel a little less natural. A change made to the scripts (v1. 1. 0) makes it so spells can fail more naturally with concentration spells even without this mod.

Requirements

SKSE - Hard Requirement

SkyUI - Required for the MCM

SPID - Required for NPC support

KID - Semi-hard requirement; mod may work without it, but required for compatibility with most other mods

Installation

Install the main file with your mod manager.

Install any additional patches.

Load your patches after this mod and the patched mod.

I am unsure yet if it is safe to add to an existing game as I did not have any existing games to test on. If you try it and have any issues, please let me know.
