Awesome!! works great but wouldnt it be better as a lesser power that way u can use duel wield and two handed weapons an maybe even a bow without switching weapons or u could make the spell last longer then a minute so switching weapons would be more feasible
I've made a mod that adds spells into the game before. I encountered the same problem as far as adding the spells to the sale list of NPC's. The easiest way I found around it was to add the spell book to their personal inventory. After that, they will sell it to you.
This spell would be so broken on bows if you had power shot+quick shot. You'd just destroy everything. I honestly prefer the elemental fury spell to actual enchantments, I wish you'd find a way to make elemental fury work on enchanted weapons. Just really not interested in attack speed for bows, way too unfair.
Thanks to everyone for the comments, feels great to get the feedback.
As Reikr said, this is meant to be simple, just get the spell and enjoy it, further on ill create something more, like a new dungeon where you get the spell, my idea is to use it to link the spell to the lore, using some story telling inside the quest.
Also as i said before, you have a full list of compatible plugins in the misc downloads section, you can check it there, i am currently using this spell on a playthrough and ive allready tested it directly with every single other mod that i use. INCLUDING SMARTCAST, i forced my magic free Nord (Im sorry Wilson) to learn this spell and place it on SmartCast (Rules: In combat, ignore everything else) and it casts normally.
I am working on making the cost show normally tho XD (if you see, it says 153 per second, even tho it takes 153 to cast).
First, sorry for my English. It's not my mother tongue and it may be a little rusty by now.
I like the idea so I'm tracking your mod for now, but I would suggest to make it an enchantment rather than a spell. Why?
1.) As already mentioned by thehorn2000 such a spell is already covered by at least two mods.
2.) You could avoid searching for the best fitting speed increase if it was linked to the enchantment skill. The higher the skill, the faster the swing speed.
3.) The player has to spend one enchantment slot and soul gems for higher weapon speed. A fair price and a valid solution to avoid too easy/early overenpowerment since you could level Alteration very fast by spamming "Transmute" or "Oakflesh".
4.) Finding/earning the weapon with the enchantment first would make for a good quest. For easier modding this could be an existing quest with the weapon as (part of) a payment.
5.) A spell for higher weapon speed doesn't suit a mage, but a warrior usually doesn't level Alteration; therefore it's use is mostly limited to spellsword-like characters. Enchantments is a skill usefull for nearly every class, therefore the enchantment could be of use for much pore playstyles.
It kind of balances it out, though. I've done Light Armor/1H classes that use Alteration for defense round-out. And as Reikr said, mods that have this as a spell already also do a ton of other s*** to magic that I for one don't want.
As a several other have already said this spell is already in other mods, however those mods adds dozens of other spells as well. I've never downloaded those mods because I'm kinda happy with the vanilla spells and don't want another 100 spells. This one on the other hand I might actually use. Concider making it shorter tho. like a 10-20 sec boost. just enought to get a edge in battle, not obliterate the enemy.
i agree a short duration time is a good call,and if your a paladin-style player like me,you could simply use wyve mythal from apocalypse spell package(i think) to boost the duration to 40 minutes or so.
I don't think he wanted it to be an Enchantment. That was intentional. Enchantments are OP enough, and this gives you an alternative. Author also says it's compatible with Smartcast, which makes it work with 2-handed weapons (he cited bows).
i honestly give you the thumbs up ,this is a good start for a first mod,simple,usefull,a good contribution to skyrim.(altough this spell is alredy covered in 2 major spell adding mods,i think the college of wizardy and midas spells both have it at 30%)
