1. Introduction.
Integrates Perkus Maximus perks, spells (coming soon), and other features into Ordinator.
Adjustments to existing perks when necessary.
New perks, spells (coming soon), and other features not found on either overhaul.
Keep in mind, this is roughly how I designed the integration: If the mechanic itself is fun, then I do not provide additional incentives to use the mechanic. In other words, are you doing this because it's fun, or are you doing this because you will be rewarded (externally)? Ideally, these mechanics themselves would be the reward. I think EnaiSiaion already does an amazing job rewarding you for playing well (and adds so many rewarding mechanics), so I don't need to do that with the introduction of the new mechanics because they can easily build off the existing rewards system. Quick example(s), "if you do x, you will be rewarded with a new, fun mechanic, that is fun to do." In contrast, "if you do x, you will be rewarded with a damage bonus." Lastly, "you have bonus damage." Which of those sound like the most fun to do? EnaiSiaion does an excellent job of relying mostly on the the first 2 examples, but the third is still important, because it helps prevent barriers to entries for trying the tree out in the first place. We could talk about the psychological applications of Reward Systems all day, but as I'm not a game designer, that was the best tool I had from my academic/professional career. Hopefully, you enjoy the implementation. I'm always open to suggestions and feedback!

10. Permission
You must accept and understand any and all terms set by both Borgut1337, and EnaiSiaion.
Please do not upload THIS FILE to other sites. I would prefer to keep things as simple as possible for other users. If there's a reason you think it should be on another site, please ask first.
You may convert THIS FILE to Skyrim Special Edition. I would prefer to just host it here if you have the file to make things simple, but that's up to you if you're willing to put in the work, but in that case, support is your responsibility. However, please, for the time being, DO NOT upload this file to Bethesda.net., even for Skyrim Special Edition. I want to take some time to look into Bethesda.net for myself first. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you bother the respective mod author's (Borgut1337 or EnaiSiaion) with any issues related to the file(s) provided. Thank you!
