I wonder, oh great modders: Is it possible to make a Candlelight that you can toggle on and off, but, when you turn it on, it slowly drains your mana at a rate where at 100 Magicka it lasts about 5 minutes? The more Magicka you get, the longer you can sustain it. wish I knew how to mod myself, but I'm a complete noob in that area. I hope I get a reply
Endorsed! Thank you! Is there any way to reduce the brightness of the light? Edit: Found a way to do this by increasing/decreasing brightness and radius in the CK for candlelight.
I quite like this concept, I’d imagine it would be possible with the CK but truthfully I have no idea. I guess you could have it cast some kind of disease status on you while the spell is active. Done properly, I think this could work quite well.
im no pro modder, but was wondering if its possible to make spells cost nothing, but give you a debuff that gives you like -10 magicka or something like that.. add that to a couple of spells like candlelight, stoneskin and feather ect, that way, we dont have to recast it all the time, but it still puts a mark on the magic pool. cause nothing is more annoying then running along with feather spell, and suddenly get encumbered again because the spell wore off, or trying to sneak past some enemies but then your silent foot spell wears off and they instantly spot you. (-10 was just a suggestion for candlelight, i expect spells like stoneskin ect should cost alot more respectively.)
This is great. What would make it even greater is toggling. Perhaps with SKSE evolving a bit, we could have a "casttoggle" script, so it could be casted, charge 1 mana per second, and then simply cast to have the light go away. Also a dimmer one perhaps for sneaking purposes.
Of course, I am just spitballing the idea here, implementation would be the hard part.
Anyway endorsed. Beats the hell out of candlelight and the other light spells.
I think the Magicka cost should be minimal. It's not like making it 1 - 2 mp/s wouldn't unbalance anything, it's just a light. Excellent idea for a start though.
My only suggestion would be to reduce mana cost a bit, my mana doesn't last very long keeping this active. I use this for my stealthy character because candlelight can't be turned on and off at will like this and I don't like constantly equipping and unequipping torches all the time so this mod is convenient.
