DESCRIPTION
This mod adds wearable and summonable floating spell tomes.

The wearing Floating Tomes come in right side and left side forms that can both be worn at the same time in an combination. There's a tome for each school of magic, Alteration, Illusion, Conjuration, Destruction, and Restoration. There are both enchanted and unenchanted versions for the wearable floating tomes. You can wear one or two, which ever fits your style and however you'd like to balance your character.

The summoned tomes will follow you around like any other summon and it will cast spells based on the school of magic it's from. Each tome is in it's own school of magic and not just in conjuration. I did this in consideration for those who are mages that don't want to over level conjuration and would rather level their favorite form of magic. There are two versions of each summoned tome: one that lasts a few minutes and one that lasts almost forever, or until it's "killed", in which case you'll need to summon it again.

The Merchant
Liralen is an elven mage who learned how to master the art floating tomes. She doesn't care much for the college life, so she's selling her knowledge of floating tomes to those who are interested. She hopes to save up enough money to move some place warmer. Or maybe an adventurer will come along and sweep her off her feet to live with them in a nice home together.

She is marriageable, but once you marry her, she will likely not sell the spell tomes anymore. She is also not a follower. Only a potential spouse. If you use a mod to make her a follower, she will be able to summon the spell tomes to fight for her as well as cast firebolts.

Note: I've attempted add healing and buff spells to the summoned tomes, like with some of my healer followers. However, it seems like the packages I use for follower do not work on summoned creatures, only regular followers. So, while I'd love to make the summoned Restoration Tome directly heal the player, it's not possible until I can find a work around.

Summoned Tomes
Alteration

• Paralysis Spell - The tome will fire a paralysis spell that will knock the target down for 3 seconds. When the target gets back up, they will be very slow to move for 10 seconds.
  

To prevent this spell from being overpowered, it will cast the spell about two times before needing to recharge its mana at low levels. At higher levels, it will be able to fire these spells 3 times, maybe 4 at really high levels before needing to recharge.

Conjuration

• Conjure Mistman - Summons the floating skeleton from the Dawnguard DLC
• Raise Dead - A power spell that turn a fallen person or creature into a zombie for a few minutes.
• Arcane Arrow - Fires a magical arrow at enemies.
  

I debating with myself on whether it should summon the 3 artonachs (Fire, Frost, and Shock), but figures Destruction should have the elemental based attacks.
The summoned creatures will follow the Tome that summons it. If the Tome dies, so will its summons.

Destruction

• Fire bolt
• Lightning bolt
• Ice Spike
  

All three spells are slightly modified versions of the vanilla spells.

Illusion

• Fury - it will cause enemies to attack everything including it's own allies. They will still attack you and your followers, but they will also attack other enemies.
  

Restoration

• Sun Fire - It will damage all enemies, but it does more damage to the undead
• Grand Healing - When the book takes damage, it will heal itself and allies nearby (in theory).
  

All of the summoned spell tomes have perks that help them in combat and they will not set off traps. They may alert enemies when spotted while sneaking since summons do not sneak with the player. The books will level with the player up to level 2,500. They will always be a few levels behind the player though, for gameplay balance.

Compatibility
If you have the mod Devious Devices, you will need to go to the McM > Underneath Section > Disable Slot 51. Without doing this, the right side books will not appear on your character.

If you have a house mod with a pool, bath, hot tub, or pond that takes off the clothing of NPCs that enter, don't take the summoned books into the water, unless you want have nightmares. When the floating tomes leave this area, they'll go back to normal.
