What is up with the shitty durations on some of these buff spells????

[TheGamerdude535]

And yet I can't find a single mod that buffs any spell durations aside from one thing for Conjuration. How does anyone put up with these pathetic buffs that only last 5 to 10 seconds?? That's basically useless

Personally, I have always made custom spells to make longer lasting buff spells. Mainly I do it for water walking and light spells. But usually, I like enchanted items that have constant effect enchantments and swigging potions for buffs. But that's just me.

The vanilla magic system works requiring the player to know the desired magic effect already to buy a 3rd party made enchantment, so these nearly useless spells are a cheap way to acquire the desired magic effect and/or practice it and eventually decide to buy/make enchantments/better spells with that effect

Thing is spellmaking is supposed to just be a fun feature that makes some strong spells if you know what you're doing. It shouldn't be a hard requirement for certain effects to be any useful lol
