New Spell Ideas.

[jjk999]

This is a thread for people to post ideas for new spells. I am not a modder myself but maybe we can inspire some folks who are.

 

Here are some off the top of my head. I am thinking of spells that would be at home in a vikingy environment rather than the medeavalish oblivion world.

 

Hulk smash. A spell / potion that makes the character bulk up to ridiculous size and have massive H2H abilities and a buff to HP. Inability to cast spells while so transformed. Would require modeling. Probably a better name would be wrath of roddy roddy viking.

 

Holly crapcakes! I just did a google search to find a WWE wrestler who has "viking" as a stage name and the first name to come up was John NORD!!!! His stage name was The Viking.

 

A high level conjuration spell Summon Valkyrie or Valkyries. Perhaps it could be awarded as a quest or level or skill level reward for a warrior.

 

Similarly high level conjuration spells/reward summon large Ravens or summon giant wolves. Perhaps all 3 could be rewards for a difficult quest. first reward is summon 2 ravens then summon 2 wolves then summon 2 valkyries.

 

After killing a dragon you could harvest his teeth. When you cast the teeth on the ground skeletal warriors pop up.

 

Thats it for now.

 

Except for one thing. Questmakers might want to lookup Mangog from the Thor Comic on Wikipedia and do a google image search. He's a doozy.

Apparently, there are different Kinds of Dragons, some are sacred to the Empire and aided them in Battle. The Dragons in Skyrim will attempt to eat the Protagonist for Breakfast. So maybe the Skyrim Dragons are different somehow, we'll know more in a few Days.

Maybe the "good" Dragons could be persuaded to be summoned to fight the "evil" Dragons. Or maybe that would make no Sense at all, again, we'll know more in a few days.

 

A "Berserk" Spell would make Sense. Basically, the old Vikings ate a lot of Shrooms and went insane in

Battle. They wouldn't feel Pain and their Enemies feared them as Beings made out of pure Fury which shrugged off all but the most devastating Injuries.

They did know Pain combined with the Mother of all Hangovers when the Mushrooms wore off.

A Buff that gives you a massive Strength and HP Boost for a while and a crippling debuff afterwards. Really crippling, so this would make for a nice last ditch Effort to get out of a tight Spot.

 

"Warcry", something like that will be in the Game. If Bethesda forgot this for some Reason, a Warcry would buff the Caster and possible Allies, while debuffing Enemies.

 

The "North Star" will guide you whereever you are. At least on the northern Hemisphere of the Earth.

This would be a Spell that guides you somewhere, maybe by drawing a line on the Ground that you can follow to get out of a Dungeon.

 

"White out" is practically a Death Sentence. Snowstorms in polar Regions can have a blinding Effect in which you lose Orientation. Everything around you is white and you can see as far as you can spit. You can get lost and freeze to death 10 feet from the Door.

As a Spell, this would blind Enemies for a while as well as deal cold Damage.

For this mod you could look to mods like midis magic for oblivion for some inspiration and maybe some utility spells would be cool like:

turning coins into gold ore maybe things like that (though that's probably a job for a crafting mod)

maybe illusions spells that actually create images of companions to intimidate enemy

 

Just thought of something really important idea, "Spell combining" the ability to combine two completely different spells. this would be really cool if it could be some how implemented!

Midas Magic is probably the best Oblivion mod ever created and begs to be copied/ported/brought in to Skyrim.

[Draco856]

I would like to see a spell pack comparable to Midas for Skyrim. It added so much

I recall a huge jump spell someone made for Oblivion where you could land saftley. It was super usefull in mountain climbing. It would probably have to be an expert or master level alteration spell.

 

Oh of course, why didn't I think of it? A semi werewolf spell. It turns you into a nerfed werewolf for 3 minutes. Another choice would be Bear Spirit which turns you into a were POLAR BEAR!!!

 

Sectumsempra. The spell from harry potter that slashed the victim. Its a spell that delivers damage like a melee weapon, perhaps going thru armor like a mace and causing bleeding damage like an axe. Maybe when dual cast it can cause decapitation.

 

Or just a spell that causes decapitation.
