Skagens Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hello. Magic overall sucks in vanilla. Destruction especially. Is there a mod out there that either increases the damage to a ridiculous level or reduces the cost to a ridiculous level? Most game-play mods involving magic I've managed to find either buffs it slightly or overhauls it to a "buff in one aspect, nerf in another aspect". All I want is better magic. No need to add new spells or overhaul it. I basically want it to scale with my level, but not scale "a little", I want it to scale "A LOT". Does a mod like this exist? Are my google powers not good enough? If not, then I'd like request a mod that makes magic - destruction in particular - just shy of OP. Thanks.

FrostMoglin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Have you looked at Full Magic Scaling or Balanced Magic? Those sound similar to what you're looking for. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2275/ http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/76433/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagens Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I've used both before and it does do what I want, just not enough. I still need my entire manapool to kill 1 bear. Not good enough. Something like it but quadrupled in power. EDIT: If it'd make the search easier, I can add that I don't really require a massive boost to the other magic schools, just destruction.I only ever use destruction on a regular basis so a massive buff to the other magic schools isn't really required, but would be nice nonetheless.

FrostMoglin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Empowered Destruction is another possibility but it tops out at an extra 150% damage. If its just the numbers that you want tweaked, could you just use the Creation Kit and change the values of ED or a similar mod yourself? I haven't used the CK at all but if it's just changing some math formulas and/or percentages, it shouldn't be super difficult. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1245/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skagens Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm going to search around some more. If I don't find anything I guess I'll learn to do it on my own. When tweaking numbers and percentages it's not so difficult I've been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algabar Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) You can try "Better Magic": http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/4374/? Years old mod, but still working fine. In fact, "Better Magic" together with "Apocalypse" and "Forgotten Magic Redone" is all I've been using for about two years now - and I play as a pure magician most of the time. No melee weapons (after all I'm the archmage, not a humble mercenary....). I must admit, that I use spell cost reducing enchantments and magicka regen boosts on my gear. Enchantments are all vanilla though - nothing changed or added. With my combo, I got a decent survivability and can kill enemies about as fast as with a melee weapon - with vanilla spells only, if I want to. IMHO not OP, but fun. EDIT: I'm playing on "legendary" difficulty. I'm not using any AI or enemy scaling mods right now - if you use mods, that make enemies harder, my approach might not give you sufficient "punch"...

Elias555 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 SkyTweak allows you to set the damage multiplier to what ever you want iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
