[LE] How do you learn how do to custom spells such as those from "Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim"?

[morogoth35]

I really want to make custom spells but I don't know where to start learning. I can't find any guides on youtube that actually make a completely NEW spell from scratch, I can only find how to edit the vanilla spells and make them into something else.

 

Anyone here that knows how to make your own CUSTOM and NEW spells?

Not sure at how ' CUSTOM ' you mean. If you want new visual and sound effects then you'll need to learn other programs as Creation Kit can't do that. If it is just creating a new spell in CK then its just a matter of going to the Magic Effect tab and right click in the window and choose ' New '. That will give you a blank magic effect form where you can select what type of visuals, sound and damage you want. I would think that there are quite a few tutorials on creating new magic effects. After a quick search I found this one which shows how to make a spell from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sEV4X2gWog

 

Plus I think this page would be useful in helping to explain what each section of the Magic Effect form does https://www.creationkit.com/index.php?title=Magic_Effect

Thanks for that but what I mean when I said "custom" spells I really meant make 100% new animations, colors, textures meshes sounds etc etc. A really good example of what kind of spells I wanna make theres one in the Apocalypse spell package that's called "Raise Wall".

Scripting. For colours, textures, meshes of spells you need to play around in nifskope. Sounds are selected under magic effect, if you want new sounds you'll have to add them to the game first.

Something like raise wall is likely to be entirely scripted. It would place markers or activators surrounding the player and then have the markers create the walls(I haven't used the spell but judging from pictures). It's not a simple as selecting a new spell type from Value Modifier to 'raise wall'.
