LE Cantrip Shouts

[GuytzaWraith]

I tried making a character that focused on shouts rather than being a mage/warrior/thief. I had mixed results while using the "Thunderchild" mod.

 

However I realized one of the biggest issues was that I had nothing to spend my stamina or magicka on, and nothing to do with my hands. I also had a problem in that every time I spent a shout cooldown on something, I was almost always better off using Fire Breath.

 

I came up with an idea to rectify this.

I want to create spells using the first words of some shouts, equipable on your hands, so they get fired with the left/right clicks and I want some of them to consume stamina, and others to consume magicka without kicking off the shared cooldown. I want them to also scale based on the speech skill.

 

I call them "Cantrips"

 

The three really useful ones I think are

Cantrip - Fus: Uses Stamina to stagger an opponent

Cantrip - Feim: Uses Stamina to Become Ethereal for 4 seconds (lowered since it's not on cooldown)

Cantrip - Yol: Uses Magicka to deal 50 fire damage

 

These also happen to be the ones affected by Parthanax and are among the first ones the player gains access to.

 

Additionally I thought of another two Cantrips that are original.

Cantrip - Empower: Uses Magicka to increase the magnitude/duration of your next Shout

Cantrip - Refresh: Uses Stamina to remove the current Cooldown in effect.

 

Now, I'm not a modder. I tried to install the Creation kit for the first time in years this last weekend and it crashed on me. So I thought I'd take a chance and put this up here see if A) it's already been done and my search skills failed me B) if its possible to link a "spell" with a stamina cost and C) if anyone would like to take it on as a request?

 

(oh, and if you're wondering about the stamina and magicka split, it's to make the cantrips useful to Mage and Warriors as well by accessing resources they don't normally use.)

 

Thanks in advance!
