LE Blue fire

[ThreeUnicornsInATrenchcoat]

Personally, I would like to see a mod that changes the color of the fire spells to a blue-white color reflecting extreme heat, instead of the wimpy red-orange standard. A blue-white coloring would go well with any custom modifications that increase the damage of fire spells to be more realistic, i.e. a fireball that is actually useful and can kill anything save dragons in one hit. One should not have to shoot a dozen massive, explodey fireballs at an enemy just to kill it. That steel plate wouldn't protect a bandit from a mass of fire that's over a thousand degrees...but maybe that's just my opinion, no? Anyone else of a similar, not at all unrealistic or unreasonable viewpoint? Even better: Make the fire white-hot so it's like a bolt of plasma. Super-heated gas would boil through any armor in Skyrim, even dragon armor. Face it: If a sword or arrow can pierce those scales, how tough can they be? Most universes with dragons depict the beasts' scales as being as hard as/harder than steel, sometimes even diamond. Plasma can melt through dragon scales, but swords shouldn't so much as scratch dragon scales. No, it may not be lore-friendly, but in my opinion, the overgrown lizards Bethesda have jokingly called dragons need not only be more dangerous in their own right, but have opponents wielding the proper tools with which to kill them. There are lots of dragon mods that make them more dangerous; I've used some of them, and they are, admittedly, very good. Anyone can open the CK and tweak the damage of the spells or make the dragons tougher if they spend some time experimenting, but I honestly have more interest in changing the animations of said spells to make them appear as though they can actually do something useful, but I'm not equipped, nor do I have the time or savvy to do so. Dragons shouldn't fall to something as pathetic as a five hundred degree flame; make it look hot enough to take down those overgrown lizards. They are supposed to be the scourges of Tamriel, after all. Give them a bit more oomph, and give the battlemages some REAL firepower to take them on. I'm talking dragons like the Hell Wyrm of Final Fantasy XII. I fought that thing for two and a half hours before it went down. Obviously, Skyrim is a completely different breed of game, but the truth remains: Dragons in Skyrim and spells therein need to BE better and LOOK better. A blue or blue-white flame is one of the simple, appealing ways to do this, in my humble opinion.

 

Do you agree? Yes? No? Maybe?

 

Just an idea...with a rant to go along with it. If anyone feels like he or she can realize this meager dream of mine, well...cheers to you.

 

You'll have my worthless thanks and tip of the hat if you think you're up to the challenge, whoever you may be.

i agree for some points, red-coloured fire is wimpy. But i want the colour of the fire doesnt share the same colour with any fire source such as torch.

There is blue fire already in the game you could just add it with CK.

Only for some braziers.

Not for spells.

 

Anyway, I support the idea.

I always thought it'd be nice to have "magic fire" version of fire spells, with blue effect and maybe similar effect to shock? (deals magicka damage)

 

I think I saw a mod which changes color of different fire spells, but the bad thing was that it changes some dragon breaths and other fire sources too.
