Boredfan1 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The Soul Gem Overhaul Mod is a mod that makes Soul Gems more interesting by giving the player the ability to control the number of Soul Gems, set them to be contraband, set the number of uses for each Soul Gem and gives players several new spells that completely changes how you use Soul Gems. Players are able to highly customize the number of Soul Gems by overall, normal, black, size and location with a vanilla and random option always present. Players can also customize the new type of Soul Gems called Magicka Gems which are explained below in the very same way and control the spawn location of spell tomes, make the player have the spells already or make the spells available only after a certain level is achieved in a school of magic that the spell corresponds with. While this mod started off as just an alternative to using souls to fuel enchantments, it also became about innovating how we use Soul Gems to make the world as a whole more interesting. Magicka Gems - Soul Gems that have been altered to be able to hold a being's Magicka rather than a soul, allowing these gems to be used as substitutes for Soul Gems for enchantments or used as storage containers for a person's Magicka, giving them an alternative to potions for restoring their Magicka. These gems however are incapable of holding a soul ever again unless transformed back. It was this new type of gem that inspired the creation of this mod.

I know it may not be too lore friendly but I never really liked the Soul Gems, I don't like the concept of killing someone to steal their soul to use for enchantments, it feels to evil though I admit, I'm a bit hypocritical because I like being a Werewolf, Vampire, Dark Brotherhood assassin and thief. Anyways, I apologize for not putting cost, I didn't really know what to put. I hope you like it! Note: If no one does this, I'll try to get around to eventually doing it myself but it's quicker for you to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
