====================================================
Modular Settings for the Skyrim and Enderal Magic System.
====================================================

The objective of this set of Modules is to allow a player to add only the magical game-play components they wish to enrich their gaming experience. Every Module is therefore independent to achieve that objective. That is, any module can be installed on its own if so desired.

Skyrim Install - The Core and Custom Installation are set to the recommended settings for a balanced game-play experience in a "Vanilla Type" Skyrim Installation.

Enderal Install - The Custom Installation is set to the recommended settings for a balanced game-play experience in a "Vanilla Type" Enderal Installation. 

The Modules themselves have various Scales (greater or lesser) in which they apply their effect on the game. However, be warned, if you scale all of the Module aspects to their maximum, your character will be overpowered unless you have some Serious Difficulty Mods installed to counterbalance the effect!

To counterbalance, you have the opportunity to lessen affects to make the game-play more difficult. For example the cost of spells can reach zero with skills being uncapped so tweaking the cost of spells to a lesser Skill Base Cost can prevent this...

Please Enjoy and feedback on future aspects you might like to see included.

FAQ

Q - So, do the various options of this Mod depend on the other in any way?
A - No, the design is such that any part can be installed in any order with relation to the other parts of this mod.

Q - Can I, for example, simply install the Alteration Scaling component of your Mod as it is the School of Magic I specialise in as a Mage?
A - Yes.

Q - Can I, for example, scale all the of the components of your Mod with differing settings? e.g. empower the schools of Destruction and Restoration at a higher level than the other schools of Magic?
A - Yes.

Q - Is this Mod compatible with other Magic Mods or Game play Experience Mods?
A - Yes, however any shared/common settings will conflict. If you would prefer to use my Mod's component, simply ensure it is loaded later in the "data file load order" than the other Mod. If you prefer the setting from the other Mod, then simply do not install that one particular component of my Mod.

Q - Will Spells from other Mods Scale in conjunction with your Mod?
A - Yes, they should, as long as they have been defined with an appropriate Casting Cost Perk. e.g Novice Destruction, Apprentice Conjuration etc.

Q - Are you open to requests to extend this Mods scope/capability?
A - Yes, as long as the request can be presented in a Modular and independent fashion. i.e it is not dependent on any other component of the Mod.
