Stronger (destruction) Magic


Skagens

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

Magic overall sucks in vanilla. Destruction especially. Is there a mod out there that either increases the damage to a ridiculous level or reduces the cost to a ridiculous level? Most game-play mods involving magic I've managed to find either buffs it slightly or overhauls it to a "buff in one aspect, nerf in another aspect".

 

All I want is better magic. No need to add new spells or overhaul it. I basically want it to scale with my level, but not scale "a little", I want it to scale "A LOT".

 

Does a mod like this exist? Are my google powers not good enough? If not, then I'd like request a mod that makes magic - destruction in particular - just shy of OP.

Thanks.

I've used both before and it does do what I want, just not enough. I still need my entire manapool to kill 1 bear. Not good enough. Something like it but quadrupled in power.

 

EDIT: If it'd make the search easier, I can add that I don't really require a massive boost to the other magic schools, just destruction.

I only ever use destruction on a regular basis so a massive buff to the other magic schools isn't really required, but would be nice nonetheless.

Empowered Destruction is another possibility but it tops out at an extra 150% damage. If its just the numbers that you want tweaked, could you just use the Creation Kit and change the values of ED or a similar mod yourself? I haven't used the CK at all but if it's just changing some math formulas and/or percentages, it shouldn't be super difficult.

I'm going to search around some more. If I don't find anything I guess I'll learn to do it on my own. When tweaking numbers and percentages it's not so difficult I've been told.

You can try "Better Magic": http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4374/? Years old mod, but still working fine.

 

In fact, "Better Magic" together with "Apocalypse" and "Forgotten Magic Redone" is all I've been using for about two years now - and I play as a pure magician most of the time. No melee weapons (after all I'm the archmage, not a humble mercenary....). I must admit, that I use spell cost reducing enchantments and magicka regen boosts on my gear. Enchantments are all vanilla though - nothing changed or added.

 

With my combo, I got a decent survivability and can kill enemies about as fast as with a melee weapon - with vanilla spells only, if I want to. IMHO not OP, but fun.

 

EDIT: I'm playing on "legendary" difficulty. I'm not using any AI or enemy scaling mods right now - if you use mods, that make enemies harder, my approach might not give you sufficient "punch"...
