mareboro Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Magic is something that seems like its limits are bound only by imagination and it seems that the the makers of skyrim came up short in the imagination department with respect to magic. The game lacks visually epic spells as well as environment affecting spells. While double cast spells do more dmg etc i was really dissapointed that you could not in fact combine spells like casting ice with one hand and fire with other simultaneously would yield steam or water (depending on the strength of flame vs ice spells) so weak ice + strong fire spell would give steam.Elements cast along summons would imbue summons with that element etc... I would love a spell that would cast water so you could push enemies who are climbing stairs/terrain and stagger them for a short time while you take care of others. A new tree of Shape based spells that could be infused/comnbined with spells...Eg a magic missiles spell infused with frostbite gave you a hail of small needle like icicles. Magic missiles combined with summon familiar would summon many smaller familiars that would be much weaker, do less dmg but the effect of more distraction more than compensates and hey that would look epic no? When a dragon crash lands he sometimes makes the ground rise up etc... maybe some purely staggering spells that would shake ground ?Dont want to post all the spells i have in mind but i think most will get the general idea.as I said , imagination is the limit. So how hard would it be to make such a mod ? is it even possible (meaning - reasonably doable).? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monshael Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Midas magic will somewhat do what you're suggesting. Check it out on youtube to see what it does in Oblivion and if you like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matth85 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Midas magic will somewhat do what you're suggesting. Check it out on youtube to see what it does in Oblivion and if you like it. The problem is that Midas Magic never was balanced, and never will be. Spells that is too powerfull doesn't add more to the magic system, it breaks it. I also fear another "nuke" effect. The guy knows how to make effects and script, he doesn't take the time to balance it out though. Perhaps it would change this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mareboro Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I not hoping for someone to make a god mod were all the new spells just make you insta kill someone but rather so that you could use spells more creatively/ tactically with the addition of making the new spells look more fancy and more varied. I mean all the fire/ice/lightning spells are very banal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
