About this mod

Changes the damage scaling and magnitude of Destruction Magic by modifying the Novice-Master perks in the Destruction Skill Tree and nerfs Impact perk to 33%. Also adds leveled Destruction Magic damage scaling. Compatible with most spell mods that add new spells into the game, provided they are coded to use Destruction Magic perks.

Permissions and credits
There are a ton of mods like this on the Nexus, but none of them quite suited me. Some were too underpowered, some didn't work and some added unnecessary things that I simply did not want in my game. I figured that I'd make my own mod, because really all I needed was a few tweaks. This mod is just that: a small tweak of the Destruction perks, mainly just modifying the impact perk and adding some damage amplifying effects to the Novice-Master perks.

Features:
- Destruction now scales based on your Destruction level. You gain 1% more damage per 1 level of Destruction you have.
- Novice Destruction, Apprentice Destruction, Adept Destruction, Expert Destruction and Master Destruction all increase Destruction Magic damage by 10/10/15/15/20 percent respectively. This effect is cumulative, meaning that you get a total 92% bonus Destruction Magic damage (not just 70%) when all perks are taken.
- The stagger from the Impact perk has been lowered from 100% to 33%. You're still able to stunlock based on how fast you can spam abilities or if you're flat out lucky, but it's no longer stupidly overpowered as it once was. 
- Compatible with most spell mods that add new spells into the game, provided they are coded to use Destruction Magic perks.

Note: Leveled Destruction scaling will only work after "Novice Destruction" perk has been taken. If you already have the perk and do not experience a change, you may need to re-activate your perk. Open the console and type player.removeperk 000f2ca8, then type player.addperk 000f2ca8.

Recommendations:
I recommend playing with these mods, as well as on Expert difficulty or higher, otherwise this mod may seem a bit overpowered at early levels.
