About this mod

An addition like the original Alteration Spell, Equilibrium, to the game. The Better Equilibrium Spell restores the caster's magicka at the cost of health and stamina points. Slightly more balanced versions, a hard version, or a cheat version available.

I never liked the Skyrim's original Equilibrium Spell. Its found in an out of the way area, is almost deadly early game and useless late game which is when your more likely to find it. The original spell converted 25 health points to magicka points per second, and can kill the caster if their health drained completely. I actually liked that it could kill you so I didn't go out of my way to find a way around that.

My original version lowers the amount of health drain per second, adds in a stamina drain, and lowers the magicka gained to be more in line with the drains. Then I decided to make a second version, then a harder version and a cheaty one as well.

This mod also fixed an issue I had with the original Equilibrium spell, which was the sound the spell had, actually it was the sound the spell didn't have, my game's original spell didn't have sound. But now it does, and it can still be found in game, in case you wanted to use both.

Flavors

The original version of the Better Equilibrium spell will drain 15 points of health, 5 points of stamina, and restore 20 points of magicka per second. This spell will kill the caster if their health completely drains.

The alternate version of the Better Equilibrium spell will drain 10 points of health, 10 points of stamina, and restore 20 points of magicka per second. This spell will kill the caster if their health completely drains.

The second alternate version is the 'hard' version. This will drain the caster's health by 50 points and drain their stamina by 10 but only restores 30 points of magicka per second. This spell will kill the caster if their health completely drains.

The cheat version just restores 50 points of magicka per second at no cost to the caster. But some poor soul in Tamriel will have their magicka drained when you do this. Not really, but it was a funny explanation that was semi-lore-friendly that I thought of while writing the spell descriptions.

Location

The Better Equilibrium Spell can be obtained in two places in game.

  • Bought from Farengar in Dragonsreach.
  • Found in Whiterun's Hall of the Dead Catacombs. It's on a table near where Andur lost his Amulet of Arkay. This was the first place I could think of that isn't normally touched by other mods.


Installation

Please install only one flavor of the spell using a mod manager of your choice. If more than one flavor is installed the lowest plugin will win, as they add and edit the same files. FOMOD is up.
