Sounds impressive! I am following this one!

The checkbox isn't needed in this case, the vanilla adept and higher spell tome lists have the "chance none" field set to 100 (meaning they won't show up normally) and a global set (directly below in skyedit). Once you reach a certain level in a skill the corresponding global (e.g. pcrestorationadept) is set to 0 which is then used for the "chance none" field - giving a 100% chance for the spell tomes to appear.

So you could simply add your spells to the corresponding lists (which the college vendors already use) to have them show up. Note that the master spell lists (LItemSpellTomes100xxx) are not used by the college vendors, but instead the lists MGRitualxxxbooks (so they only show up after the corresponding ritual quest has been completed).

Hope that helps, and nice mod

@mcw11
Thanks! I will look into it tomorrow!
@DragonBone
It is a little op perhaps rightn now, there are a few fortify spells, the only thing I think it may overpower are the shouts in the game.

No I haven't looked into the Balanced Magic mod yet.

@mcw11
Wow, thank you so much! I am fixing it now! Will credit you on mod later

Okay this file is updated for vendor support, try it out and tell me if you are enjoying the mod/ if it works right!

Definitely intrigued by this and will continue to watch it. I would love it if NPC's could gain access to at least some of these spells. That would help with balancing.

Thanks yes please watch it and try it out! NPC AI packagess may be able to modified to add the new spells. Going to check later. A lot of this stuff may require CK so expect big update later.

All these spells...and not a single Absorb Health.

Why do you taunt me, phenderix?

On a more serious note, how about the return of Feather, Unlock and Absorb Health, each with their own tier appropriate effects?

Check it:

http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3413

Contains all of the above.

Also, good work on these spells Phenderix!

It includes two absorb health type spells...unlock is already included in midas magic.
Thanks Eldiran!

You didn't list Absorb Health in your list phenderix. Not complaining, just pointing it out.

Perfect and thanks, I'll definately use your mod when I start my mage playthrough.

It is indeed listed. Absorb and Drain are the same thing...
@4Skyrim
Awesome! Hope you like it! There will be tons of updates so please track it. In fact, going to release an update in next few hours.

Uh...no. Absorb Health and Drain Health are two different things.

Absorb Health is devouring your enemy's health to heal yourself, like a vampire. (It's a Destruction effect in Skyrim, for some reason the devs only gave it to vampires when all mages had it in previous games)

Drain Health basically acts as a damage DoT effect.

They have always been two different things.

Drain and ravage magicka

I believe the description is incorrect. 25 for drain and 15 for ravage - other way round maybe?

Looks good by the way!

In the two previous TES games, Drain Health and Absorb Health are two different effects. http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Drain_Health.

@chuckos88
Thanks - the drain magicka number was wrong it is supposed to be 7. Fixed on nexus site.

Looks pretty solid. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm not playing much right now besides testing, so I can't give you much feedback. I know editing perks tends to start making things incompatible quite fast, but have you considered, when the CK comes out, creating or editing perks so that spells can change as you level? Such as having Static Palm, a perk increasing the effects to that of Volley or Shot, and then another perk to change the effect to Barrage or Blast.. Well, honestly I don't know how it'd work in practice, but it 'twas an idle thought of mine. I've always disliked the idea that a mage at one skill level and player level is always identical to another mage at the same levels. Anyways, looks good. Keep up the good work.

Only two perks are changed - Twin Souls to 3 and Rune Master to 1000 to be able to set runes farther.
There is also a download option for a version with no perk changes.

I don't know if that article is correct, because that would mean that poisons that "drain health" would heal you.

Ya it doesn't really matter though...we all know what it does

Any new thoughts about update?
This mod is more balanced with more content.
Please try it out!
