Downloaded the pre-release version, great job Xliver! Using Force Push on my psionics based RP character and it's really awesome for the RP. Finally, some telekinetic power with some real combat use!

Can't wait to see more, will be watching intently for future updates with new spells.

Hi guys, unfortunately I won' be able to download this mod until next Monday so I was wondering: can somebody who has already checked it comment on the new spells? How much damage they do, what special effects/advantages do they have and so on?

Judging by the pics alone, frost and heat beams seem to be a long-ranged version of the novice destruction spells. Is this true? And, also, are they also more powerful?

I'm also curious about the force push spell. The pic with the wolf shows how the spell sent the wolf flying away so should I understand that it works as a full "Fus ro da"?

Finally, I'm also curious as to what "intense flames" and "steam spray" do. The names seem to suggest that they have some special effects. Am I right? and, if so, which ones?

Thank you for any feedback!

The reason Spellbreaker is made worse is because disrupted wards have a 100% stagger chance. A shield with resist magic, the shield of Ysgrammor for example, is better in every scenario. Imagine if regular shields had a 100% stagger chance if you didn't block well enough to absorb all the damage, nobody would use shields. It might be that way because of the way NPC mages behave (and yeah their wards do seem better), but it shouldn't be that way for the player.

Otherwise, I agree with your post totally. Doesn't matter what is done as long as it's something. Literally the only use of Restoration my character does is to throw a heal on followers just to hear them remark 'oooh, a heal spell'. This is the reason Colette is so pissed off all the time, has to be.

Here, my suggestions for spells that are possible to do with we already have:

- Making Expensive Spells with the same effects of the Shouts. You already are doing this in a way. (After all, not everybody wants to be Dragonborn with every character)
- Making Fun Spells with useful applications, for example: Using the "Become Ethereal" effect will make every human (Necromancers and Vampires apart) run from your "ghost" appearance.
- Unlock Spells.

And now, my suggestions for new spells:

- Midas Gold Touch, obviously.
- A Extremely-Overpower-And-Expensive On Touch Spell called "Midas Hearth Extracter", it would kill the (human) enemy and give you his hearth! (Or Briarhearth)
- A Divine Intervention that teleports you to the near-iest Talos Shrine (Maybe hard to implement)
- Some Hand-to-Hand spells to Alteration (Like "Midas Fits of Gold" just for the lulz), a Hand-to-Hand Battlemage is a unusual thing, definitely a Midas thing!

To finish, I still wish that you hear my plea that you should integrate your mod to the already existent gameworld instead of a centralized hub.

I read through this when it was 5 pages long and don't remember seeing this, and also don't know if it's possible, I would like a possession spell, where you would cast it then float to a target and if the spell is strong enough you can take them over and cause some havoc/steal something/drop it

You could take over a bandit and have him start killing off his group then make him jump off a tower or something, you wouldn't get any skill ups but it would be very awesome for a thief/assassin/illusion mage

I was thinking of this when I played one of the MQ missions

Ok, so a bit more about where I plan to take this mod.

Backstory: (Feel free to suggest)

It's been 200 years since the Oblivion Crisis. In the aftermath, Midas' work with extra-planar travel was not too popular with the locals. Although for a time, Midas' relationship with the Archmage protected him from the accusations of affiliation with the Mythic Dawn, eventually fear got the better of everyone. Midas was to be tried for his work and was placed under house arrest. Before the trial could commence however, a mob forced they way into the Arcane University bent on "Justice." Escaping the mob, Midas disappeared, presumably through the very mechanisms he was to be tried for, his Astral Gates. The mob destroyed the gates, his records, and his shop. His followers that weren't strong or quick witted enough to defend themselves or escaped were "brought to justice." As a result of this witchhunt, Aurumic Magic became taboo and eventually faded from practice and common lore.

What became of Midas is not known. Evidence that he has resurfaced over the years can be found and this is where I intend for the Midas Magic quest to begin.

The Mod and Game play:

I plan to stick to my old tenants. Minimize changes to Vanilla Oblivion. This will avoid mod conflicts and disrupting the basic mechanics. There will be new spells, quests, planes as in Midas but I will do better at sticking to the lore or the "lore feasible" aspects of the story. Traveling to pockets of Divine & Daedric realms for instance. And I plan to have 3 different thaumaturgical schools. Aurumic magic will still be around, although perhaps not as absurd as the previous spells. But I also plan to have Draconic and Daedric/Divine schools as well. Draconic spells will draw power from the shouts (you will need to learn the shout to create them) while Daedric/Divine spells will draw power from artifacts (these won't be destroyed in the process of creating them). And, any of the "absurd" spells I do create will be attributed to Sheogorath there will also be a strong Dwemer influence here as Dwemer "Science" will be the focus the Midas "Shop" and transport system.

I'll repost this on the next thread as well.



Summons seem to be really easy here. In oblivion they are hard coded, but in skyrim, just point to any NPC. I plan to do more.



It's a good point. Aurumic magic will still be around here but I plan to expand the disciplines. As above. BTW, good to see you again.


It won't be blue but yes
With Conjure Luggage, that is exactly what I intend. Except for the hands. That would be absurd.


Fair point. Perhaps I'll do both. The ability to incorporate my own projectiles into the CS is going to help with quality alot.


Yep. My spells won't be in spell books If I can help it.


My custom enemies will have them but the vanilla mage probably won't since, depends on if it can be implemented without major change to Vanilla Skyrim.


I hope this can be done. If I cant get fire and Ice to combine into steam, I can at least create a steam spell.

Thanks everyone
