I'm not really interested in any Skyrim overhauls, but some of the spells you have here look really good. Would you be prepared to make an optional download or separate mod, which just adds the standalone spells? Because seriously, they're awesome - especially the flash spells, but I like my Skyrim's mechanics as they are.
Ember doesn't have a good animation. Making a fist and pointing at something, then that something catches fire? Try popping a fireball animation in there. Unsummon undead description needs work too, but other than that it seems like a good mod
The idea behind the mod seems promising, but what of the actual progress? Images perhaps, or even a short demonstrative video? These items would be most desired, and would most likely increase the number of downloads for this mod immensely.
That would require scripting and scripting is beyond the scope of this mod. Summons already last for 10 minutes and you can have a whole bunch of them. You are supposed to summon them before heading into combat as they cost quite a lot of magicka and time.
Role of vanilla on-the-go summons is now fulfilled by illusions (Create Illusion is still more of gimmick spell and you are supposed to use the Create Illusions spell).
Looks like you've made some really nice updates...
Suggestion, maybe you could rework the conjuration spells so that they require a special ceremony first.... for example, a spell that draws a summoning rune on the ground. Then when you conjure something, it spawns in the circle. Maybe make it so it requires a lot more magicka, but will last forever, or until killed. This would make it more of a summoning, so you need to plan what to summon rather than just calling creatures over and over again on the fly.... what do you think?
The mod is incomplete as not every spell, scroll and staff got changed properly. The other thing is I need some ideas which spells need overhauling - Candlelight needed it because the spell was useless, Flames needed it because its visual effect was over the top compared to the damage it did. What other spells would you like to be overhauled and why?
