Description:
This mod is basically a rebalancing and reimagining of the transmutation spell found in game, changing the original spell and adding several new ones. I found the original spell too gimmicky and too much like a cheat, while at the same time I wanted a different way to acquire the more uncommon materials while using up materials that became obsolete after awhile. (You have no idea how much iron and silver I had rotting away in Breezehome... Then again if you've been playing for a while you probably know exactly what I mean)

New Spells are as follows:
Transmute Corundum Ore (replaces original spell); Novice Alteration Spell; Converts four Iron Ore into one Corundum Ore
Transmute Silver Ore; Apprentice Alteration Spell; Converts one Corundum Ore into one Silver Ore
Transmute Orichalcum Ore; Apprentice Alteration Spell; Converts one Corundum Ore into one Orichalcum Ore
Transmute Gold Ore; Adept Alteration Spell; Converts two Silver Ore into one Gold Ore
Transmute Moonstone Ore; Adept Alteration Spell; Converts one Orichalcum Ore into one Moonstone Ore
Transmute Malachite Ore; Adept Alteration Spell; Converts one Orichalcum Ore into one Malachite Ore
Transmute Gemstone; Adept Alteration Spell; Converts one Corundum Ore into a random gemstone. (likeliness of specific gems is dependent upon rarity: Garnets most common, diamonds least common)
Transmute Ebony Ore; Expert Alteration Spell; Converts two Gold Ore into one Ebony Ore


All books have been added to the appropriate leveled lists and are purchasable from Tolfdir at the College of Winterhold, as long as their Alteration skill requirements are met.


In the future I intend to add spells for transmuting Moonstone and Malachite ores as well as converting Dragon Bones to Dragon Scales (as well as Dragon Scales back to Dragon Bones), multiple regular gems into their flawless varieties, and a spell to create Soul Gems (Although I'm not certain what they'll be made from yet, perhaps a half-dozen petty gems from one malachite or some such)

Installation:
Drag Scripts folder and TrueTransmutation.esp into your DATA folder.
There should be no overwriting unless updating from an older version.


Incompatibilities: Due to replacing the original Transmute Mineral spell, this mod will be incompatible with any other that changes that spell. The original Transmute Mineral script is untouched but the spell itself has been reassigned to my modified version.
As far as I know it should be compatible with all other mods, as that original spell is the only thing that was overwritten.
