Discription:

So i noticed people made Shadowmere or Frost essential,
but i did not like the fact that my horse would be indestructible but still could get lost,
so i made the 2 horses into a summon, now when they die or you loose them, all you have to do is find there conjuration book.
i also added a few ghost horses for all player classes there needs.

if there are any horses somebody would want to see made, please sugest them, if i am able, i will make them,
note that i am not able to make new meshes (yet) and im not quite familiar with textures too (yet).
so my creation options are still limited to things that exist in the game only.

Enjoy the mod, and dont forget to comment, rate or endorce!

What are the spirits in the pictures?:

ah glad you asked! (well, kinda)
those ghosts have the horse summon tomb in there inventory.
becourse the ogirional game did not have a shock spirit i added her as a new summon too,
i tried to add a elemental door too, but it required scripting, what i have not learned properly yet
+ it would require to do water damage (and i was not realy fond of adding a new spell just to open a door)
so instead of a door there is just a storm mist, you can walk true it witouth problems only the elemental spirit will be there to attack you.

Note, the elemental spirits have been upgraded, now they will level along with the player, meaning if you meet them as boss, they will be pretty strong.
The higer your level will be, the more magic and power they will pack, recomended to use elemental magic that oposes there own and carry potions to resist the element they are.
the shock spirit has no real weaknesses, so be prepared to use a lot of magic that is strong, or use a lot of conjuration's to take the hits for you.

as a compensation, the spirits have a conjuration book of the elemental horse AND a conjuration tomb to summon the spirit themself.
they will still be leveled ones you summon them.
the stronger you are, the more magic they will use.
all elementals have 3 spells, Fire-Ice-Shock wall, F-I-W cloak, Fireball-Ice storm-Chain lightning.
in there right hand they hold a weapon with there own element enchantment.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Small note:

all summons have different effects and sounds,
the spells can be cast with eather hands or used as a power (shout button) for players who dont want to drop there blade or power/shout to call a horse

IMPORTANT, shadowmere's summon have the sound effect of hoofs trampling followed by a explosion sound and shadowmere calling,
this sound ONLY plays if you cast the spell with the right or left hand, this sound will NOT play if you summon her with the shout button. (cant be helped)

Also remember, Shadowhorse its ability to become one with the shadows, Shadowmere's Embrace of sithis (shadow cloak) Frost's winter's grasp (frost cloak) and all elemental horses there cloak spells ONLY work if you are not on there back, if you are driving on them cloak spells wont activate, sorry

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Compatibility:

this mod "should" be compatible with most horse mods, if it changes textures then it wont make any conflicts, changes at meeko's shack might conflict,

only origional Bethesda Skyrim material was used to make this mod

NO DAWNGUARD NEEDED, you can use this mod without it (for the people out there that do not have the cash at the moment for Dawnguard)

Arvak from Dawnguard will be altered seperately in my upcoming mods.
