Description

Modular Settings for the Skyrim Magic System.

The objective is to allow a player to add only the components they wish to enrich their game-play experience. Every Module is therefore independent to achieve that objective. The Core Installation is the recommended settings for a balanced game-play experience. The Modules themselves have various Scales in which they apply their effect on the game. Be warned if you scale all aspects to the maximum your character will be overpowered unless you have some Serious Difficulty Mods installed to counterbalance the effect!

Default Settings Applied By The Core Package
============================================

Skill Cost Base = 0.0025 - This is the same as Vanilla Setting. (Scaling and Perks can reduce spell cost to zero, so I have balanced on the Vanilla setting for the core package)
Combat Magicka Regen = 0.66 - This twice as fast as the Vanilla Setting.
Dual Casting Cost = 2.2 - The cost is reduced by 0.6 from the Vanilla Setting.
Dual Casting Effectiveness = 2.8 - The effectiveness has increased by 0.6 from the Vanilla Setting.
Scaled Spells Increase by 1% per Skill Level - No Scaling in Vanilla Skyrim.
Racaial Powers Increase by 1% per Skill Level - No Scaling in Vanilla Skyrim.

Item Enchantment PowerMod - Increases Duration or Magnitude by (School)PowerMod% - In Vanilla Reduces Cost.

School
Alteration = Duration
Conjuration = Duration
Destruction = Magnitude
Illusion = Magnitude
Restoration = Magnitude

Alchemy Enchantment CostMod - Reduces Cost of Spell Casting by (School)Mod% - In Vanilla It increases Duration or Magnitude.

School
Alteration = Cost
Conjuration = Cost
Destruction = Cost
Illusion = Cost
Restoration = Cost

Levelled Magicka - Scales the Players Magicka Pool - No Scaling in Vanilla Skyrim.

Value = (((PlayerMagicSkillsTotal * Scale) * PlayerLevelNow)) + PlayerMagickaPool - Scale is set in the Script - ScrLevelledMagicka. Default Scale = 0.1

Note:- The Magicka Pool Scales when the Player Levels Up. In addition the Players Magicka is Restored during the Scaling effect.

Levelled Magicka - Entropic Addon - Scales the Players Magicka at the Expense of the Players life Essence.

MagickaPool - Increase
MagickaScale = 0.05 to 0.10
MagickaEntropicScale = RandomInt(3,6)
Value = ((PlayerMagicSkillsTotal * MagickaScale) * MagickaEntropicScale)

Health - Reduction
HealthScale = 0.05
HealthEntropicScale = RandomInt(1,2)
Value = ((PlayerHealthNow * HealthScale) * HealthEntropicScale)
