Description
===========
Tired of carrying around a pickaxe as a mage? Disgusted by having to soil your hands doing labor fit for the mundane? No more. Inspired by Dementor's "Mining for Mages",
this mod adds a novice level alteration spell to the game to for mining out ore deposits. Go to your local court mage or Tolfdir if a member of the College and purchase the SpellTome: Extract Ore. Simply cast the spell at an ore vein until it empty. In the interests of maintaining maximum compatibility I've not altered the mining script to give alteration experience, so you won't gain any levels by casting this spell. This is merely a mining spell crafted to my own tastes, if you don't care for my implementation or want to bring magic to other aspects of Smithing I recommend you check out "Mining for Mages" by Dementor.

For those who don't want a mod that alters the leveled lists I've included an alternate version of the mod. In order to access the spell in this version you need to use the console by pressing "`". Open the console and type "help extract" without quotes. Look for the entries "Spell Tome: Extract Ore" and "Extract Ore" under the Book and Spell categories respectively, noting the base itemId. Now type either of the following commands:

"player.additem X 1" where X is the itemId for the spell tome and read the spell tome
OR
"player.addspell X" where X is the itemId for the spell

You should now have know the spell.
