SpellKeys - Hotkeys Enhanced Version 1.7 (Arcanist Edition)
By: EvilGrinch
________________________________________

By popular request, this mod has had its name and description changed to better convey what it does for the oblivion community.

Its previous name was Arcane University Ethereal Link. Updates will retain the former version history with the new name and description.


Installation: Place the SpellKeys .esp file into your Oblivion\Data\ Directory. Run the Oblivion launcher, select data files, and activate the mod. Run the game.


What does SpellKeys do?

The object of SpellKeys is to save the user hotkey space by replacing a hotkey with enchanced functionallity.
SpellKeys gives the user an amulet with a special script on it to be placed in one of the users hotkey slots.

The first time you use the amulets hotkey. The SpellKeys Quickchange menu will come up so you can assign a spell to the SpellKeys hotkey. Once you have initialized it by selecting a spell. It will function as any other normal hotkey would. Selecting that spell, whenever you press the hotkey.

HOWEVER, if instead of pressing the hotkey, you DOUBLETAP it. The SpellKeys Quickchange menu will come up and allow you to change spells quickly and easily.

The SpellKeys Quickchange menu makes spell selection much easier than the standard system, due to a logically laid out multi-tiered menu system, that guides you to your desired spell in a matter of seconds. With minimal interruption to gameplay.

This first edition also known as the Arcanist Edition provides the user with a SpellKeys amulet containing Destruction (Fire,Ice, and Shock), Silence, and Soultrap spell menus.

One caveat of the SpellKeys system is that it allows you to cast some spells, that you may not already have in your spellbook. Albeit ONLY if you have the skill and magicka to do so. This is due to a limitation in the oblivion scripting language that does not allow for checking a players known spells. While you gain the ability to cast some spells you may not already know. You will not retain the spells in your spellbook afterward. You only gain the ability to cast the spells temporarily by selecting them with the SpellKeys system.

The SpellKeys Amulet has been placed in the Arcane University lobby. It is lying on the floor in the center of the carpet. It is called "Amulet Of Knowledge".

Simply pick it up, open your inventory to the armor page, and assign it to the hotkey of your choice. Close your inventory and select the hotkey to bring up the menu for the first time and assign a spell.

From then on use it as a normal hotkey, until you wish to change spells. To change spells, quickly doubletap the SpellKeys hotkey to bring up the Quickchange menu.







Enjoy!
