Gold instead of mana

so i just thought of this idea while sitting around pondering life and the meaning of tacos. so the idea is that instead of using mana to use magic you have to instead use gold to cast spells. a good example would be to use the novice healing spell you have to spend 1 gold per second. or if you use a single cast spell (the spells that just shoot one blast per use instead of continuous) would cost like 100 gold.

 

from what i know of modding i am pretty sure this can be done to some degree. also with how easy gold can be acquired in Skyrim would be a fun mechanic that'd keep you from stockpiling a whole bunch with nothing to buy.

 

by the way i am willing to make this but would need some help with how to do it... im not all that good at scripting

You know, it'd be a lot easier to simply use gold to replenish your magicka. If Skyrim used Bethscript like the last couple games, *I* could do that. I'm sure somebody here could do that in Papyrus. But casting directly from gold... I don't want to say it'd be "impossible", but it'd be a real challenge.

Do you want to add the script to spells or do you want to add the script to the player?

 

Adding to spells: less compatibility, but gold can be removed over time for concentration spells.

 

Adding to player: greater compatibility, but gold would have to be removed all at once when the spell is first cast.
