Magical Sneak Attacks

That's it right there in the tin. I'm not sure if the engine would allow it, but...

 

Why is it that I can sneak up on someone with a bow or a dagger, but I cannot do the same with a spell or a staff?

 

Why is a Fighter/Thief combo plausible in Skyrim but a Mage/Thief isn't? Or something like the Duskblade? Fun stuff like that. I want to play a magic assassin. Maybe even tie it to something thematic like Shadow Magic or a not-quite-legitimate artifact, such as a Staff of Mephala. Put a big spider on it and make it shoot balls of shadow that drain the victim's health rather than dealing direct damage. But make these things work with sneak attacks, PLEASE.

 

Something compatible with Sneak Tools, too, of course.

 

If it can be done, I am amazed that it has not YET been done.

Unless, of course, it has... and I just don't know about it. In which case, please throw me the link? Thanks. :)

It has been done already , though the only version I know of is integrated into Perkus Maximus https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/11044/?

there is a perk in the sneak tree that allows spells to do sneak attacks , resulting in extra damage

It does require you to install at least the thief part of the mod , though I really like the entire thing (played the original Skyrim with it several times , really enjoyed it)

If you don't like the mod , maybe look at the files and try to figure out how this particular perk works (can't remember it's name though , as it has been quite a while since I last played Skyrim)
