LE Spell components

[VorlaHusian]

I've had an idea that I think would be very simple to implement in Skyrim, by someone with the know how, and would love to see it modded sometime.

 

This idea is:

 

SPELL COMPONENTS

 

Each type of spell effect would have a specific spell component, the amount you use would determine the power of the spell, and combining these would give you spell combinations, too.

 

You could set up an MCM menu whereby you set up the components, the amount, and the duration of the effect.

 

An example would be a fire ball, that burns in a 5 foot area, for 5 seconds, doing 5 points of damage, and soul trapping the target if it dies in that time, would take about 25 pinches of sulfur for the fire ball, 5 pinches of grave dust for the soul trap, and would be called Burning Soul Trap, and would be placed in a special magical bundle to be thrown at a later date.

 

You could even apply them in a similar way as a scroll. Their range could be limited, as you are physically throwing them, or you could attach them to the ends of arrows and bolts for a greater range.

 

Anything could be used as a spell component, flowers, powders, potions, as long as they have an effect in game, they would have the same effect when used as a spell component.

 

Just an idea, but one I think is worth pursuing.
