Yeah, they took the magic out of magic in Sky.

Yup, but i have http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/13166 to put it back in it :hehe:

Makes damage scale with skill and puts many missing spell effects back. Though as far as have seen, it hasn't added any new destruction spells :shrug:

Bethesda, they'd wouldn't know balance if it slapped them in the face.

I rather say they couldn't balance their way out of a wet paper bag. Nor write their way out. But they can make inside of it look really nice :happy:

That's not a spell creation mod. I'm not talking about fixing spells, I'm talking about making them. That post was referring to Todd's PR stating removal of SC put the magic back in magic, when in fact it just made spells generic with little to no customization.

if you are crying because melee/archery is more powerful, then do that. If not, go back to morrowind or oblivion where you can make crazy spells to wipe out entire towns.

And why shouldn't Skyrim allowed to do just that? It's single player game if I want to make a magic to wipe up the town I should be allowed to, and yes it can be solved through potions or enchantments, but that exactly what makes it weak, melee or archery does not require you to use two crafting skill, just smithing is enough.

Wish I could argue with this...but I can't, because they couldn't, so I won't. :blink:

It doesn't indeed do that. In fact, spell creation is one of the quite few cases where there is not a mod for that :ohmy:

If you are doing dual enchantments on each gear piece it means you have 100 enchanting and should have selected 5/5 enchanter. You should be getting better than 10%. Are you using grand sould gems when you enchant? If not then that is why your numbers are low.

Yeah, man.... I used a black soul gem (grand) on the top...thought it might have been wrong and tried again with a regular grand soul gem and it was still like.... 10% destruction, 10% mana regen, 10% restoration, 10% mana regen...

Yes, I know. I'm not even sure if they can make a SC mod with how magic works in Sky. Perhaps something close, but not SC 1.5 like I was hoping for in Sky (until Todd ruined magic). But at least its pretty right? :confused:
