[LE] Controllable Magic Light

[dadiocoleman]

I have an idea for a mod and was wondering if anyone would be able to make it.

I'd make it myself, but my experience is limited to slight changes in UI SWF files (and I'm not good at that). I'm willing to help if I can though. I'd love to learn.

Here's the idea. Has anyone seen the Unreal Engine 5 demo? If not, skip to 5:20. Notice the small ball of light in the character's right hand. That's the mod idea — a spell for a floating orb of light that hotkeys can control.

Notice how in this image, it floats above her hand and illuminates the area around her? In this image, she points the light forward and it acts as a flashlight. These modes would be controlled by hotkeys.

While not in the demo, it would be awesome if you could also use another key to send it to an area like the candlelight spell — letting it illuminate the area it's set in. You could use the same key to summon it back to your hand.

It would be cool if there was an MCM setting to make it stay in your hand, even with weapons lowered.

To be completely honest, I have zero clue if any of this is even possible. I know Fallout 4 has a flashlight mechanic, but I wonder if it could even be introduced into Skyrim.

I think this would be an amazing mod that would be very useful, especially given the lack of a proper flashlight alternative.
