Greater powers!

[Sypron]

I was just playing Dawn of War, Dark Crusade (which I obtained recently) and noticed a little deature of the Necrons. You get a Necron lord, then with a special building you can choose up to 3 of 8 special powers for him. One of which was INSERT FORGOTTEN NAME, which coveres the lord in tiny scarabs, which provide a shield for projectiles and constantly regenerate his health. I got wondering, this would be great for my Necromancer character, but how could I GIVE it too him. So heres my idea for a mod:

 

As a mage character you are always on the road to becoming more powerful. As a necromancer you don't care too much for the cost, just the reward. By finding hidden books throughout the ruins and vaults of Cyrodiil, you can peice together ancient rituals to bind great magical powers to yourself. Find the procedure (just a book), find your unique ingredients and items required, perhaps kill a virgin and use their left ankle and perfom ancient rituals. Get powers like: permenant regen health, permenant resurrection of corpses, greater summoning.

 

I just want to know what you guys think. Have any ideas for rewards? any ideas for rituals? If theres enough interest in it I might even make it. If you want to help that would be great too.

This is a good mod idea, and I'd like to have it.

Unluckily for me, I know nothing about scripting.

 

Ask Vagrant.

Once you have the list of special powers, the easy part is getting them in game. The hard part is first deciding what abilities you would like, and figuring out if their possible to do well, if at all. Some of the ones you mentioned are fairly easy, others have already been done in mods like mighty magicka, so it'd really be a matter of asking the author to use his scripts.

 

*edit

You might want to look at some of the existing lich/necro mods to see what has already been done, and decide if anything new needs to be.
