Lightning spells are suddenly D.O.T spells

[Combine99]

For some reason my lightning spells now do damage over time instead of their original much more useful instant damage effect. This has never happened before and I haven't installed any mods that do that that I know of. Does anyone have any idea what mod could causing this? It makes lighting magic feel really weak and looks silly in death cams since the enemy stands there for a moment then flies off after a few seconds. I tried deactivating all my new mods and the ones that I know effect magic but it still happens.

By Jove I think I've got it! The culprit was non other than "frozen electrocuted combustion" that rascal. It turns out they needed to change the duration of some spells to get the effect scripts to trigger, and some of those spells happened to be the lightning spells I was having trouble with. Now I just have to decide whether to live with dot lighting spells and have the fun death effects or sacrifice the effects for the old snappy instant damage.
