The original Finger of the Mountain spell is only interesting when you receive it before level 5. At higher levels it is more expensive to cast than a similar spell created at the Arcane University. Some of those are even impossible to cast. This mod alters the standard leveled spell to a reward which is more useable.
The mod changes the magicka cost of the Finger of the Mountain spell. It is still very powerful, but does its damage over time. Standard spell costs are applied to the leveled spell. The novice variation does more damage than the original and the master variation is almost as powerful as the original, but it requires a little less than 500 pts magicka to cast. In addition all variations will "shock" the victims with a health drain.
To obtain the spell play the Chorrol Recommendation of the Mage Guild quests. If you already have Finger of the Mountain then it will be replaced by the new spell automatically.
Level 1: 3 pts Shock Damage for 5 seconds (total 15 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 10 pts for 1 second on target (25 Magicka).
Level 5: 3 pts Shock Damage for 10 seconds (total 30 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 40 pts for 1 second on target (62 Magicka).
Level 10: 6 pts Shock Damage for 10 seconds (total 60 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 75 pts for 1 second on target (148 Magicka).
Level 15: 9 pts Shock Damage for 10 seconds (total 90 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 100 pts for 1 second on target (243 Magicka).
Level 20: 12 pts Shock Damage for 10 seconds (total 120 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 100 pts for 1 second on target (330 Magicka).
Level 26: 15 pts Shock Damage for 12 seconds (total 180 pts) in 5 ft on target and Drain Health 100 pts for 1 second on target (498 Magicka).
The Drain Health addition is relatively cheap and can be very effective. The damage is applied for only 1 second. After that the victim's health will return to its previous level. However, it is often enough to kill smaller creatures or victims who are already damaged.
The mod is compatible with any mod that doesn't change the magical effects of the leveled spell.
To install the mod unzip the file and add FingerOfTheMountain.esp to your Oblivion Data folder (usually "C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data"). Start Oblivion and click Data Files. Find FingerOfTheMountain.esp in the list on the left and click on its empty square on the left of that filename, If it contains a cross it indicates that the mod has been installed. To uninstall it simply click that cross and make sure the square is empty.
