📋 About This Mod

RxEMe6Y4W3s

I created the Witchhunter Spells and Prayers Pack to address a simple problem: Using magic in combination with weapons. Have you ever tried to play an arcane archer? Or a two-handed warrior who dabbles in Destruction? Are you tired of having to constantly switch off of your weapons to equip your spells? Then this is the mod for you. The WItchhunter Spells and Prayers Pack adds unique, balanced new spells designed to work in conjunction with weapons, not against them. Now you can turn your magic inward, and augment your weapons with powerful effects. Or perhaps focus on your physical ability, and increase your strength for a time. Silence your enemies' spells, resist their magic.

Be a Witchhunter.

What does this mod do?

Designed to increase synergy between weapons and magic, The Witchhunter Spells and Prayers Pack adds 75+ lore-friendly, balanced spells and powers to the game. Unlike other spells in Skyrim, every ability added by this mod is mapped to the power button and does not require the use of a hand. They are all learned by purchasing Witchhunter Tomes, Aedra Prayer Tomes, and Daedra Prayer tomes from spell merchants. These tomes are added to the lists dynamically, to ensure full compatibility with other mods. Once read, the spells and prayers will be found in the Powers section of the magic menu. The spells will advance relevant skill XP, and will be affected by the Novice, Apprentice, Adept, and Expert perks for each school of Magicka. Furthermore, they only become available from merchants when your skill reaches the appropriate level, just like the spell tomes from the vanilla game. All Novice and Apprentice Witchhunter tomes are available from the beginning, as well as all Aedra and Daedra prayer tomes.

To offset their ability to be used without a free hand, these spells are costly to cast. Their Magicka cost can be cut in in half by buying the appropriate magic perks. Example: An Apprentice-level Destruction power added by this mod will cost 50% less to cast after purchasing Apprentice Destruction in the Destruction tree.

The abilities added by this pack are broken down into two categories. Spells and prayers. Spells cost magicka, advance skill XP, and benefit from casting perks. Prayers are greater powers, allowing only one use per day, and do not advance skill XP.

Spells added by this pack:

  • Augment weapon spells. Temporarily imbue your unenchanted wepons with powerful effects. Four tiers of fire, frost, and shock damage. Two tiers of absorb health and Magicka. Paralysis, Soul Trap, and more!
  • Silence augmentation. Strikes from your weapons prevent enemy mages from casting spells for a limited time. Returning effect from Oblivion!
  • Magicka Resistance. Multip
