Is your spellcaster looking for a bit more strategy and risk in their lives? Mortal Magic allows your Magicka-depleted mage to keep casting spells using their Health and Fatigue instead.
With this mod, Magicka acts as a safe buffer of spellcasting potential. Once you've run out of it, you can choose to continue casting spells at the expense of your other vital attributes. Deciding whether (or how much) to do so adds a new and interesting dimension to the game, providing a layer of risk and reward to your magic-casting gameplay.
Details:
You cannot kill yourself by casting a spell. If casting a spell is going to kill you, the spell will fail and a message will be displayed instead. Unless, of course, it's the effect of your spell that's going to kill you. That's entirely your prerogative.
You are notified that casting will deplete your Health prior to it actually doing so. This gives you time to register what you are doing and decide if casting the spell is a strategic choice. After being notified, the message won't display again until it is relevant and at least 45 seconds have passed since the last Health-fueled spell you cast.
For every point of Magicka you were missing, the spell takes 1.3 points of Health. The Mysticism skill decreases this linearly to 1 point of Health by level 100. For every 1 point of Health used, Fatigue is drained by 1.5 points. This means that in the worst case, Fatigue is drained by around 2 points for every point of Magicka you lack.
Spells that restore your Health can only be cast using Magicka. You can't convert life energy into more life energy. Law of conservation, and all that.
Only spells that you can cast with full Magicka can be cast with your Health. Your heaps of Health can't change it, you still won't be able to cast Finger of the Mountain.
Also, scrolls won't hurt you. I'm thorough, I swear.
Requirements, Compatibility, and Installation:
Requires OBSE. Installation is standard.
Compatible with all mods and spells that use the standard spell cost system.
Have fun.
