Nesscessary. TY Other known game breaking cheats are - 100% chameleon. Gold, Intellect boosting and Save-scumming. There are mods for all those. Timely Escape, Better Bartering, Better Balanced Booze, Restrictive Saving, Controlled Consumption, But the intellect boosting you just have to RP out.
Not sure this is necessary. I mean if you want a bit more challenge than sure i suppose. But i can personally say ive never sniped while levitating except fighting cliff racers as a majority of my heavy hit attacks i base on touch or enchanted weapons. simply flying to a roof or atop a tree branch or mushroom etc bypasses this mod as well ;). But youve given me an idea for a new character. low lvl levitate spell to save on magicka +high Bow skill could be pointlessly fun to troll some guards and non projectile NPC's.
"simply flying to a roof or atop a tree branch or mushroom etc bypasses this mod as well"
No, not really. In that case you're limited to what the environment provides you, your platform can easily block your shots if your target moves beneath it, and it's harder to follow targets who flee to another area. You'll also be forced to travel on foot if you don't want to be constantly harassed by Cliff Racers with no way to defend yourself.
What if you are using an enchant item that does levitation on you, you dont need to concentrate for that.(or a potion)This mod could screw over NPC's who use items/potions to levitate also.
Probably that "concentration" part is a bit misleading, this mod aims just to eliminate (or at least lessen) combat advantage during levitation (or slowfall). Also NPCs aren't affected at all.
Tried this yesterday during my New Morrowind mod stream and I really liked it. I'd love to see your level of alteration matter: surely a master in alteration can multitask? Endorsed!
I like the idea, It could be done as alternative version. It's just a matter of how to implement it. 100 Alteration and no more restriction? Maybe it's better more gradual.
I would say just allow Slowfall multitasking at 100 Alteration. That way you won't immediately plummet upon dispelling Levitation, and you can get some shots off while still in the air.
Perhaps 100 Alteration could also allow Levitation while opening doors and using items -- just not weapons and other spells.
How does it treat MCP spellcasting, which doesn't require raising your hands?
Would you be willing to make a Hard Mode version where Levitation is cancelled by the same actions as Invisibility?
May want to add the same penalty to Jump spells as well. If you're able, having player actions gradually lower the magnitude of Chameleon spells would balance that out pretty well.
Thank you for pointing that out, never used Swift Casting so I didn't even remember about it. I just checked and it doesnt detect it, and at the moment I didn't find anything in MWSE functions that may detect it. I'll update the description. Probably you should ask someone who knows Lua scripting.
However removing Levitation if you perform any action like for Invisibility would be perfect, but I doubt it can be done without Lua. I'll check it out.
EDIT: Ok there's a way to detect casting so the MCP SC issue should be solved. I'll update the mod soon.

Wings of Will - Willpower based levitation speed (MWSE Lua)

That's a fantastic idea Danae!
