Serana Learns Soul Cairn Spells 1.1

by CDCooley
2014-11-24

for
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim


*********************************************************************

Version 1.1 adds MCM support so you can change the default settings
and reset her spell list without using the console.


DESCRIPTION

Do you get tired of Serana raising undead? Do you think she should be
rewarded for exploring the Soul Cairn with you? Do you hate her Chain
Lightning and Ice Storm spells?

This mods gives you control over which spells she can use.

By default, Serana will now learn Conjure Boneman, Conjure Mistman,
and Conjure Wrathman along with the player. She will no longer use the
area effect Chain Lighting and Ice Storm spells. After learning the
Soul Cairn conjuring spells she will stop raising dead. And if cured
of her vampirism will stop using Drain spells.

Her spell list is normally updated approximately one game day after you
gain a level. You can change settings and update her spells immediately
using either the MCM or the console commands described below.

*********************************************************************


POTENTIAL MOD CONFLICTS

If another mod modifies the Serana NPC she will always retain and use
her basic Raise Zombie and low level Drain spells, but loading the
other mods after this one should eliminate any other conflicts.

Any mod that also modifies the DLC1SeranaLevelingScript.pex script
file will overwrite the changes made by this mod. (But the Unofficial
Dawnguard Patch changes are also included in this script.)

*********************************************************************


CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

These options are all available from the MCM if you are using SkyUI.

You can customize the spell selection using any of the following
console commands (after clicking on Serana with the console open).


SetPV PreferConjuring false

She will still be able to raise dead even after she learns the
Soul Cairn conjuring spells.


SetPV AllowRaiseDead false

She will never use the raise dead spells, even if she doesn't yet
know any of the conjuring spells.


SetPV AllowConjuring false

She won't learn the Soul Cairn conjuring spells with the player.


SetPV AllowAreaSpells true

She will learn and cast the Ice Storm and Chain Lightning spells
when she reaches level 48.


Unlock

Use this command on her to update her spells immediately. This is
useful if you change any of the settings or just want her to learn
spells faster than the default of one day after you gain a level.

NOTE ABOUT TRANSLATIONS

Translation files are included for all of the default game languages,
but the text is in English. You can translate the text on the MCM for
your languages by simply editing the second half of the line in the
appropriate language file found in the Interface folder. Send me your
translated file and I can include it with any future updates.

This is a trivial tweak. Extend or modify it however you like, but
do not simply upload to other hosting sites.
