Elemental Magicka II

1. Description:

Some of you may recall the mod I worked on, "Elemental Magicka." It was a good learning experience, and allowed me to familiarize myself with basic Morrowind scripting techniques. It certainly had its flaws, some worse than others, and I found by the end of it that I'd created something I wouldn't play with myself. I started over from scratch on "Elemental Magicka II" to create something to fix such issues.

This is an ongoing project that I plan to keep developing over time, though it may be slow-going for certain intervals, such as the past few months. I'm hoping to help things along by splitting up the work into smaller themed modules -- the first of which was released in January as "Of Fire and Frost." Today, in celebration of Morrowind's 10th anniversary, I am releasing an additional module "Of Earth and Air." I hope you all enjoy playing with these as much as I did creating them.

2. Installation:

This mod requires Morrowind GOTY edition, and MGE or MWSE for the optional MWSE addon. Copy the contents of this archive into your Morrowind Data Files folder.

Use the following load order:
Elemental Magicka II.esp
Elemental Magicka II - Of Fire and Frost.esp
Elemental Magicka II - Of Earth and Air.esp
Elemental Magicka II - MWSE Addon.esp

The first plugin is the master that contains all of my scripts and methods, while the second and third place spellbooks into the world in particular locations. The optional MWSE addon allows NPCs to become hostile when attacked by these spells.

4. Issues:

Currently the MWSE addon allows NPCs to become hostile when attacked by spells, but this doesn't trigger guards to come to their aid. I'd like to fix this eventually.
