--=[Description]==--

This mod changes the way you learn magic in Skyrim. Normally, you have to buy or find Spell Tomes, which can become annoying as most high-level tomes are available only at the College of Winterhold, and are only purchasable after your Skill Tree is at 40 or 65, which for non-mage specific playthroughs, can take a long time to reach. Furthermore, why is it that when you read a tome, it automatically disapperas? The entire system, while practical for the game, is far from realistic.

Enter Spell Stones. With this mod, nearly all Spell Tomes are removed from the game, save for those such as Detect Life and Flaming Familiar, which are rewards for specific quests. How you acquire spells in this mod is similar to the Standing Stones present in the game. Like Standing Stones, many Spell Stones are added in this mod that are scattered across Skyrim. Some are above ground, while others lie underground, in proper locations. Upon finding a stone, you will learn either a Novice or Apprentice level spell automatically. Unlike the Standing Stones however, Spell Stones are permanent, and can be active alongside each other. No Aetherial Crown required.

As you use and acquire and use new spells and level up your schools of magic, you will unlock new spells based on the Spell Stones you have activated. For example, upon finding the Flame Stone, you will initially learn Firebolt. When your Destruction skill reaches 40 (the level at which you could normally buy the tome for Fireball), the Flame Stone's power will invoke, and will bestow upon you Fireball, the Adept Fire spell.

A few things to note before continuing:

First, the Master Level Spells will now all be rewarded in their respective quests via Spell Tomes, instead of getting one tome and then having to buy the others.

Second, if you install this mod and load a save with several spells already learned, you will still have to go to the respective Spell Stone and activate it to receive higher level spells.

Finally, this mod is designed only with the original Skyrim spells in mind. While it is compatible with mods that add new spells, there will be no official crossover patches made by me, the author (CharlieC). However, should anyone who has made a spell mod or someone with permission from an aforementioned creator wish to make a crossover patch, you have my permission.

The "[School] Lvl [Number]" bit is for Apprentice level and greater spells, all of which will be granted to the player upon activation of the Spell Stone if their Skill level in the school is sufficient.)
