LE Spellbook Casting Animation?

[Silver03]

Admittedly, it feels a little shallow making this request, but I'd honestly Love to see it done.

Here's the idea-

I want to see an animation mod that changes the casting animation to a simple degree-

The character holds a spell tome in their hand, instead of a ball of glowing magic, or what have you. When the spell is charged, the book's pages flip, and stop when fully charged.

Now, how this would work with first of all, Every variety of magic, and also with dual casting draws a bit of uncertainty.

My idea is simply that there would be a uniform book that rests in the user's hand, that appears for all spells.

Dual casting is still a mystery, but I'm sure if this gets picked up, we'll come up with something.

Now, since it's shallow and miserable to request a mod, especially an animation one, and to just say "heh thanks for making that I guess", I'm offering pay for anyone who can make this. We'll sort out the finer details when and if work actually goes into this.

That being said, input, criticism, redirection, or commencing is modestly welcomed.

I am not a animator, but might i suggest using the "read" animation as a charge up animation. Perlhaps change the footwork to make it more dramatic. Then, as a charged animation. Create a "right hand" charged animation just like the vanilla, still with the book in the left. i think that could look neat.

pictures for referance: I imagine a "charged" and "casting" somewhat like displayed bellow. utalizing the left hand to hold the book.

Here we have the vanilla read animation. Immagin importing the posture with the one above but keeping the hands and direction of head. That would be your "charging" animation. :tongue:

Still think this resource would be great!
