Name: Alternative Spell Making - at Extra Cost
Version: 2.0
Date: 06/03/11
Requirements: OBSE
Author PrettyMurky
Description
======================
Like many, I didn't like having to join the mages guild, and complete all the initiation quests, just to make a few basic spells. However I also thought that the mods which give free access to the service detracted from guild membership. This is my attempt at a balance.
Details
=============
V2 : Each Mages Guildhall (apart from Bruma) now deals in basic spellmaking for the magic school of their speciality (Brail=Illusion, Skingrad=Destruction...). Simply find the appropriate NPC and ask them about "Spell Making". As long as it is daytime, and you're not a criminal (Bounty>99), the spellmaking menu will pop up. When this happens, the gold cost of spellmaking is set to triple the vanilla rate and an effects spell is added to the player, granting access to all (Illusion spell doesn't include any Grand souled Summons) the effects of whatever magic school you're working with. Also, your skill in this school will be limited to 45 (preventing creation of spells more powerful than apprentice level), similarly all other magic skills are reduced to 0. Once the conversation ends, the cost multiplier returns to normal, the effects spell is removed and all skills are returned to normal.
Finally, if you do decide to join the Mages Guild, then Borrisian in the Arcane University can sell you the effects spells, saving you the hassle of having to buy hundreds of spells just to access all the effects.
V1 : This version adds a 'public spellmaking office' just inside the arcane university. Here you will find a helpful mage who will make any spell for you, assuming you can afford the triple gold cost. Upon initiating 'Spell Making' topic, you are given an effects spell, giving access to all available spell effects, and all your magic skills are set to 50, thus allowing the creation of any spell, journeyman level or below. The effects spell and skills are returned within a few seconds of returning to game mode.
Install & Uninstall
===========================
Put the .esp into the data folder and select. To uninstall; De-select and delete.
Compatability
====================
As far as I know, this shouldn't clash with anything, but if there are any problems, be sure to let me know!
