Magiska is an animation mod, that replaces the vanilla spell casting animations of Skyrim. The animations focus on making the character appear more proficient with spell casting and make use of a lot of hand gestures during casting. Intended for female characters, but can also be used for male characters.
Check out the videos & screens above, to see if these animations are for you.


Requirements:
Just Skyrim ;)

Installation:
-Place the meshes folder inside your Data folder in your Skyrim directory
or
-Use your favorite Mod Manager

Uninstallation:
-Simply delete the previously installed files

RECOMMENDED (but optional):

-FNIS (Use the "GENDER specific animations" option to apply the animations to female only)
or
-PCEA2 (Magiska now included in PCEA2 V.1.1 / allows you to customize alternate animations for your character in-game via MCM - requires the new FNIS 6.0)
-PCEA (to make the animations exclusive to your character/This mod is now basically outdated, see PCEA2 above)


Other highly recommended mods:
-Custom Races (Allows you to play a vanilla race while making the animations unique to your character)
-Proper Spell Cast Direction (Fixes some Skyrim weirdness - integrated in FNIS 6.0)
-YY Anim Replacer - Mystic Knight(My mod doesn't have any walking/running animations yet. I highly recommend using the YY Anim Replacers walking /running animations, they are very very good and I have built my animations to work well with these. The easiest and recommended way is to install YY Anim Replacer - Mystic Knight first and then overwrite with the animations from this mod, which means you'll get the walking/running from YY Anim Replacer and the spell casting animations from Magiska)
-Immersive First Person View (In combination with Proper Spell Cast Direction, it allows you to see some of the animations from First Person)

Known Issues:
-None :3

Permissions: Please do NOT reupload or use these files in any project WITHOUT my permission.

Credits:
-Pornphile for creating the amazing skeleton rig that has been used in creating the animations & his great tutorials and guides.
-Yukl for his "What HKX file controls which animation"-video, which turned out to be extremely useful. And of course his own animations, which were part of the inspiration for making animations myself
-Bergzore for his very helpful tutorials. Without these I probably wouldn't have been able to figure out how animations works for skyrim

-And a big thanks to everyone who chooses to use these animations within their game :)
