Ok, I lied, it's way past 55 hours (Steam says I been working that long, but I didn't have Creation kit open the whole time I was working). I been working on making a magic effect, but this is getting was past the effort of a full time job.

I'm trying to do many things:

Make a custom effect based on "stormhazard.nif"

Make multiple bolts of "lightingbolt03 come down" at once either by editing the nif, or editing "magicProjectileStormScript.psc" (editing the nif is fine because I don't really care if the extra bolts are mearly cosmetic because only one needs to to the damage), but editing the script has only allowed me to make bolts come down very rapidly and not all at once and editing the nif in nif skope is taking ages upon ages.

I don't have 3dsmax, only Blender and Milkshape, so I can't work with .hkx files. I tried using the hkx&--#62;kf converter, but it needed a "skeleton.hkx" file of which there is no such thing for effect files. This means working on "stormhazard.nif" is quite painful doing the sequencing.

I'm losing sleep over this. I passed out for 2 hours in the middle of the day today. I really need help. D:
There has to be a better way!
