UPDATE 1.1:
apparently I forgot to upload the script effect. Redownload it, it should work. If it doesn't, let me know.

UPDATE 1.2:
Fixed an issue where the Spell did not work on Dragons. Now anything but essentialls should be killable.

UPDATE 1.3:
It's been a while, but decided to upload a slight visual update. On being hit, the target is engulfed by a slight swirl of green light. I've also added a very slight knockback, giving a feeling of impact and slight force when the spell hits.

DESCRIPTION
========================

This mod adds the killing curse from the Harry Potter universe. Called Avada Kedavra, this curse is always fatal. It does not inflict damage, it just... kills. The victim simply drops dead without any physical harm done. This is also what happens ingame, the spell does not do any damage. Instead it has a simple script effect that does the job. I utilized the green spell effects from the Paralyze spell as the actual spell from the novels and movies is a green flash/projectile.
It's a little cheat mod, it's meant to be unbalanced. I originally made it just for myself but thought, what the heck, I'll share it. I do not intend to change anything as I'm happy enough with it as it is. It does not remove the essential flag, they'll be knocked unconcious. You want to kill essential characters? Very easy. There is no mod needed. Just open your Skyrim.ini (NOT Skyrimprefs.ini) and add the following at the bottom of the file:



[GamePlay]
bEssentialTakeNoDamage=0


This makes all essential characters killable in any way. Just be aware that if you do make essentials killable, and if you actually kill an essential npc, you can severely break the game.



========================
How to obtain
========================
You can add either the spell tome or the spell directly via the console:


player.additem xx000D68 1
//this adds the tome

player.addspell xx000D64
//this adds the spell directly



the value of "xx" is generally determined by the place of this mod in your loadorder. To fully know the addresses type the following command in the console;

help avada

This should show a list of all items/spells with avada in it's name and show an address next to it. The address should be 8 characters long made up of random characters from 0-9 and A-F. You'll immediately recognise it. This is called the Form ID and if you ever used the console to add items or spells, this should be familiar. The output shown in the console should be something like this:

BOOK: (12000D68) 'Spell Tome: Avada Kedavra'
SPELL: (12000D64) 'Avada Kedavra'


Note the Form ID's you just searched through the help function. Fill it in at xxxxxxxx:

player.additem xxxxxxxx 1
//taking the search example above the command should look like this:

player.additem 12000D68 1


player.addspell xxxxxxxx
//taking the search example above the command should look like this:

player.addspell 12000D64




using the Help command followed by a search term can give you the Form ID of the desired item/spell/etc. This includes those added by any mods you might have.


========================
How to install
========================
Simply extract the contents to your Skyrim\Data directory


========================
How to uninstall
========================
Just as simple. Remove the .esp from the Data directory. And remove the script from the scripts directory if you wish.


========================
Known issues
========================
None that I am aware of. It's a veeeery simple mod that should not be incompatible with any other mods.
