Is there a mod for spellmaking?

[Valascon]

Hi,

 

I hope I'm putting this in the right forum.

 

I like playing magic using characters. Is there a mod that adds spellmaking as an ability and/or skill that the main character can learn, regardless of the MC's original class or birthsign? Specifically, the MC would be able to learn to make customized spells for his/her own use instead of having to consult a spellmaker.

 

I'm aware of manauser's mod 'Tome of Spellmaking'. I used to use it in my games until I decided that it broke game immersion for me because (1) anyone could go into a mage guildhouse and use it and (2) the tome trivialized the spellmaking service offered by various NPCs. So I've gone back to paying spellmakers to make custom spells for me.

 

However, I really liked the idea of making my own spells based upon the spells I know. and one's magicka, not upon money. Tome of Spellmaking enabled one to make a spell using one you already know and limited the newly made spell using a calculation of how much mana it would take to make the spell and how much mana you had available to use to do so at the time. I don't know the actual formula manauser used, but it was quite fun and provided an alternative method to experiment, especially at the start of a game when you might be strapped for money. My rationale for such a mod is just that it seems to me that if an NPC can make spells for you, then why can't the MC learn to make spells for him/herself.

 

I know that there is an MWSE mod called 'Skills Module', but am not clear if it would accmplish what I want to do or might even be overkill for something like this.

 

Enchanting provides some of what I'm interested in, but it just doesn't give the same satisfaction :smile:

 

TIA.
