» Wed May 23, 2012 8:18 pm Available on the Nexus: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=9749 Version 1 and 2 are here.
This mod adds tomes which grant you perks to boost or add new effects to your dragon shouts. Some examples: Increase the duration of your storm call shout, stop time completely with slow time, freeze opponents with frost breath, create walls of flame with fire breath, and much more. These are based on the meditations on the words of power you can get from Paarthurnax. Tomes for those effects are also included and one has been buffed.
:Version 1 Information:
This version is for people who aren't into treasure hunting. It adds all but the 3 V2 exclusive tomes to a chest in the Riverwood Sleeping Giant Inn. This is basically a cheat and if all you want is the goods, this is for you.
:Version 2 Information:
Adds an expansive treasure hunt across Skyrim to find the tomes. There are hints for some of them to help guide you on your way, but everything is unmarked. They can be harder to find than the stones of Barenziah, so you may really need those hints. Hints are commonly found in residential areas that are somewhat close to or pertain to the area where the tome is hidden. Tomes may also have guardians, which are high level enemies with special properties. As of now there are only a few of the guardians, but be prepared for anything.
Perks: Check this out if you want to know what the effects do.

Conflicts:
IMPORTANT! Do not talk to Paarthurnax about meditating on a word of power while using the Lost Volumes perks which add those vanilla effects. there's no point and he will just remove them from you. However, you can already have one of those perks and use the other lost volumes just fine.
Might conflict with any mod that alters the base dragon shouts, but I doubt it. Also can conflict with any mod that changes the activator effects for the vanilla meditations, and any mod that alters The Fire Within vanilla perk. Version 2 can have minor conflicts with any mod that alters the locations where I have placed the tomes, but any conflict will not be game breaking and just an annoyance.
Inform me of any conflicts and I will attempt to resolve them to the best of my ability.
Contacting me: If you have suggestions or problems send me a message on this forum, the Nexus, or on steam. My screenname is the same across the board. I won't give you my email. You can also just comment in the comment area of the download page.
Thanks and I hope anyone who decides to download enjoys everything!
