About this mod
The original game’s \"dead thrall\" spell only worked on NPCs. This mod adds several spells and a staff that extends the range of thralls you can reanimate. Also includes optional componet on that increases summoned command limit.
- Permissions and credits
The RAR file contains 2 Esp files so you can choose which part(s) of this mod to use:
Increased summons ESP:
Raises max summoning cap at various points of the conjuration perk tree:
- Novice Conjuration: +1 to cap
- Summoner: +2 to cap at each tier level
- Necromancer: +6 to cap
- Atromancer now increases elemental summon duration by five fold
- Final perk "Master of Souls" lifting the cap to 24
Necromancy spells ESP:
Contains the following new spells
"Awaken Undead" spells
- 3 skill levels (Apprentice, Expert, Master) avaliable which raises undead of increasing power.
- Allows indefinite reanimation of Undead creatures.
- Permanent reanimation of already undead creatures such as Skeletons and Draugrs are simpler than creating a dead thrall. Hence these spells are lower in difficulty and cost than the dead thrall spell.
- No effect on fresh corpses: the spells work on undead corpses (ie skeletons and draugrs) only!
- Ash piles and Dragon Priest remains cannot be raised.
For non magic users there is a staff imbued with the "awaken undead" effect.
"The Nether Ritual"
- The ultimate necromancer's spell
- Reanimates multiple weak to average strength undead in a large area.
- Can be used in undead tombs/dungeons to quickly create an undead army.
- Try with the "zombie apocalypse" mod for some interesting undead vs undead battles!
"Animal Necromancy" spell
- Raises animal thralls only, does not work on mammoths: they are too big for indoors.
- Likewise reanimation of animals is also easier as they are more simple minded than humanoids, hence the reduced cost and difficulty.
"Enslave Shade" Spell
- Summons Shades which are deadly indoors but is weakened by sunlight and is extremely weak to fire
NB: My original intent was for Shades to be summoned from NPC corpses (which then decay into ash after the spell is cast) but so far I've been unsuccessful doing this... Maybe a more talented modder will take up this one day.
"Call Shadow Priest" spell
- Summons a powerful shade priest armed with multiple spells
- Has the same weaknes as shades
How to obtain the spells
- All spells plus the staff can be obtained from members of the Skyrim Necromancer's Guild.
+ Two guild Necromancers have been signted operating in Hamvir's rest.
+ The Guildmaster can be found travelling Skyrim, she will also teach you the spells.
- The Riverwood Trader will now only sell the low tier spells.
- The spell tomes will also appear randomly in other magic stores or loot.
