LE dust cloud fx for spawning creature

[csbx]

I'm looking for a way to obscure a spawn for a creature trap--or rather, add an effect to make it blend into the world. Ie., I want to be able to initiate a small dust cloud effect just before the spawn similar to I suppose the way fallout 4 handles spawning those cute little mole creatures. Anything close to this ? All I really found was falling dust effects rather than a cloud that expands then dissipates.

You could consider portals opening. Conjuration, daedra, and oblivion portals are deeply intertwined and is the standard way of "summoning" beings/items from another realm. Take a look at any summoning spell or bound item spell for reference.

 

Otherwise, if you're set on a cloud sort of thing, I would consider a few options:

 

Spriggan spawning and other spriggan effects, recolored for your purposes.

Dust effect when a dragon lands.

 

Recoloring a flame or ice effect, especially those tied to the master destruction spells.

 

Look at the effects added by a magic mod like midas magic to see if there's one that suits you. You can either add that mod as a requirement, or get permission from the mod author to include their effects in your mod (if it isn't a vanilla effect, that is).

Thanks Dalsio ! I'll have a look at this and report back if (when) I have any trouble !
