Path of Sorcery - Magic Perk Overhaul

What

A while ago, while I was up to my elbows in the CK working on my spell package mod Lost Grimoire, I came to a realization:

Vanilla magic perks suck. Hard.

I've never really been able to find a magic perk mod that I liked. So about 8 months ago, I started working on my own magic perk overhaul.

I'm posting this project to the forums to get feedback on balance and functionality, and to hopefully get some ideas that I can use, so that when this beast is finally released it will be bug free, well-balanced, and awesome. There's a lot done so far, but a lot that still needs to be done, and I'd love to get community input.


Goals for this project

• • Fit with vanilla while making magic perks more fun :smile:
  • Limit perks sinks and passive boosts. Passive boosts have their place, but 5 ranks of "X is more powerful" is boring - perks should DO things, or add new functionality
  • Be lore-friendly and as balanced as reasonably possible - avoid OP and useless perks at all costs
  • No compatibility patches needed - all spell mods should work out-of-the-box with this overhaul
  • Implement some of the functionality from Better Magic, to make your spells grow in power as you advance in each skill
  • Edit existing perks where possible, allowing you to play with existing characters
  • Fix vanilla bugs, and upgrade dorky vanilla functionality

Disclaimer
"But PerMa/Skyre/Requiem also has a perk that does x!"
I don't care. I think my take on doing x is much better. If you disagree, go download PerMa/Skyre/Requiem and stop bothering me.

I'm all for this - really - and I'll give some feedback in a moment. But have you checked out Ordinator? Asking because it's rather new.

I saw it on the hot files, but I only gave it a cursory glance. I'm using PerMa at the moment, and it would be a pain to try something else out.

But seeing it pop up did prompt me to go "maybe I should post a thread for my perk mod...".

[Mattiewagg]

From what I saw so far, looks pretty good to me. They're all interesting, not at all boring, without being over the top or "this is cool but why would I ever use this".

 

Noticed Regeneration in Restoration has no description atm.

 

Also....

 

Skeletal Dragons? :O

Whoops. Fixed that. Regeneration is one of the perks I haven't touched, although I'm considering it.

 

And yes, skeletal dragons. > :D

They're like ash guardians, in that they stay and protect the area where they are conjured.

 

EDIT: Also, do you have any suggestions for Destruction? I haven't even gotten started on that tree.

Edited August 9, 2015 by steelfeathers

Created a new conjuration perk: Daedric Contract (50)

 

"Grants the spell 'Daedric Contract'. When cast, you will enter into a contract with the Daedra, atronach, or familiar summoned by the spell in your other hand. The contract reduces your maximum health by 10% as a tithe; in return, your chosen fiend will appear to defend you if you are in mortal peril."

 

 

As a side note, I really wish there was something like "Apply Reanimation Spell" for summoned creatures....would open up so many more options for non-undead. :\

[steelfeathers]

So...is this just not something people are interested in? Is it too soon after Ordinator came out?

 

Come on guys, throws some comments and ideas at me!

[Mattiewagg]

Post elsewhere too. ;) it can be a bit quiet here at times. R/skyrimmods or the Skyrim Mods Bethsoft forums. Just link back here.

Conjuration is well under way!

 

-Instead of having Novice/apprentice/adept/exert/master perks, I've decided to try to incorporate those skill buffs in a more dynamic way. This will apply to all skill trees in the future, but right now it's only implemented for Conjuration.

-Lots of goodies for blade-binders

-New features to make reanimating dead bodies actually worthwhile, rather than just popping off an atronach

 

GENERAL:

Conjurer (0/35) > All conjuration spells last 0.5/0.75% longer per Conjuration level.

Rend The Veil (25/50) > All Conjuration spells except Master level spells consume less magicka. Cost reduction caps at 50/70%. (Per Conjuration level: Novice = 1.75%, Apprentice = 1.5%, Adept = 1.25%, Expert = 1.0%)

Oblivion Walker (100) > Master level conjuration spells consume 50% less magicka. While your magicka is above 90%, Novice and Apprentice Conjuration spells cost nothing to cast.

 

BLADE BINDER:

Thirsty Blade (30/50/70) > Bound weapons absorb 10 magicka/ magicka and stamina/ magicka, stamina, and health on every hit.

Ghost Dance (60/80) > While you have a bound weapon equipped, you have a 15/30% chance to turn ethereal for 2/3 seconds while an opponent is power attacking.

Arcane Strike (70) > Power attacks with bound weapons send out a wave of arcane energy that damages nearby foes and causes them to stagger. **Having difficulties with this one. OnAnimationEvent() triggering is weird. :(

 

NECROMANCY:

Necromancy (40) > Raised or summoned undead have doubled duration; duration is tripled if the spell is dual cast.

Crypt Lore (50) > Skeletons and reanimated undead gain 30% magic resistance and 100 magicka.

The Relentless (60) > Skeletons and reanimated undead deal 50% more damage in combat and move and attack 15% faster.

[WLionheart]

These magic mods are always so tempting to try out, eventhough every magic related playthrough ends up me stopping because my ass always gets handed to me.

I got more ideas on spells than perks but i'm wondering if this could work as a destruction perk:

 

Elementalist: Elemental Spell gets increased by xx amount when used in the correct weather/location condition. Others get decreased by XX amount.

 

What I'm pointing at is basically your enviorment plays a role on how powerfull said elemental spell is. When it's raining Frost and Lightning spells would become stronger: water causes you to freeze over quicker and is a good conduit for lightning. Kind of seems of logical to me, that casting a fire during a snow or rainstorm will take more effort than the other Frost and Lightning.

 

No idea if its remotely possible, just tossing it out there. I got a few more but, they relate more to actual spells than perks.
