Pickpocket Magic mod request

Recommended Posts

So what i'm looking for, essentially, is a mod that will add a spell to either Alteration or Illusion that when cast on an NPC will open the Pickpocket menu. The basis behind this spell is... when the spell is cast, the person being cast on is hypnotised (for lack of a better word) and opens their pockets for the caster to steal from them. This spell, of course, can be resisted and if so the caster will gain Bounty just like if they were caught pickpocketing. The % Chance to steal should be based on Illusion/Alteration level.

This makes me want mage hand.....

 

My list of "to do mods" is messy as is, and tbh it would be a while before I got to it.

 

But, in the interest of seeing a cool mod happen, my thought would be looking for a global variable or something similar that controlled the distance which the PC can "activate" a target. Even if that doesn't exist, I feel like you could make a camera mod that can "activate" things around the camera, whether thats giving the camera the activate ability, or duplicating the PC model temporarily and replacing it with some magey hand looking thing while you cast, idk. Some way to force the "IsCrouching" state/condition so when you try to "ativate" things, pickpocket/steal will be the default option, there might even be a mod that forces every "activate" command to bring up a menu of choices, can't remember. Might also be immersion breaking if you simply "pickpocketed" the items from afar, and didn't have to drag them back to you with the hand. Things like the PC illusion/alteration level controlling how much weight the hand can pick up, or nearby NPC alteration/illusion level being able to detect your mage hand would be cool.

 

Just spitballing here, anyone else?
