SSE Tomes into Scrolls & Simple Spell Scribe

[Sjakal]

Feel free to link if mods already exist to fulfill what I'm looking for; a quick search did not find exactly what I need though, but maybe you have more luck/knowledge.

 

Tomes Into Scrolls:

Consuming a spell tome only creates spell scrolls. The number of scrolls is your skill minus spell level.

Scroll minimum is the rounded tome cost divided by scroll cost, maybe with a max of 10 scrolls created.

Spell level 0 is novice, 25 apprentice, 50 adept, 70 expert, 100 master.

Additionally, after 25 scroll casts with your skill level at or above the spell's level, you will learn the spell.

Any learning progress would be notified upon cast start. Most of this should be MCM tweaked settings.

This is to slow down the spell learning process and give spell scrolls more purpose in the game.

Simple Spell Scribe:

Use a Ruined Book or a Roll of Paper from your inventory to begin scribing.

A 30 second "Scribe Tome" or "Scribe Scroll" debuff prevents skill gains in the meantime.

Use a Ruined Book or a Roll of Paper again to cancel/change the debuff, or wait/sleep for it to expire.

Non-scroll castings spend a Ruined Book or Roll of Paper depending on the debuff you have active.

Tomes also cost their gold price to scribe otherwise nothing happens, but scrolls are free to scribe.

This is to give such items more purpose in the game; you could then give more scrolls to your followers.

If you have other ideas please chime in; preferably the mod should be simple and custom spell compatible, with MCM tweaking instead of new config powers/items.

I have on my list of things to do with my mod to write a spell to transfer a spell to a scroll a means of a mage preparing spells ahead of time to use later.

 

I'm not personally into the tome to scroll aspect that you mentioned, but to each their own as I could see it being useful for some role-playing based builds so hopefully someone makes it for you.

So I checked into this and found: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/86623, I haven't checked to see if it will work for SSEdit, but it very well could, and that way you can at least get access to the scrolls themselves. That doesn't address how your character would get them though in game.

 

As I think about this, I'm thinking my interest is turning more into the ability to infuse a scroll or something like a sigil stone with a spell to be able to activate and release the magic within at a later time. Hopefully the linked mod at least gets you scrolls as it claims to be able to.

I also independently came to the idea of using scrolls to learn the spells. But after researching this doesn't look possible without editing every scroll and every spell tome.

 

But you never know. Maybe someone smarter than me could figure out a way to do it more dynamically.
