Name: Enderal - Forgotten Magic Redone Patch
Version: 1.0
Date: 3/2/2017
Category: Miscellaneous
Requirements:
Enderal
Forgotten Magic Redone
Author(s): Enthalasor

Description
===========
The biggest issue (IMO) with adding magic mods to Enderal is breaking the Enderal developers balancing of healing effects by adding "Arcane Fever" to most of them. It's a mechanic that's central to the whole plot of the game after all! So while Forgotten Magic Redone already runs fine in Enderal, there's one glaring issue - the direct healing spells "Divine Light" and "Healing Touch" allow you to simply bypass the whole "Arcane Fever" mechanic. On the other hand they're really nice spells that I wanted to make use of & I'm a fan of the whole "Spell Leveling" mechanic Forgotten Magic offers. This is a simple patch that adds the "Arcane Fever" effect to both, and I thought I'd share it with the community.

Details
=======
Indirect healing methods (like devouring your Deathguard or using "Siphon Life" with "Necrosis") are untouched. Spells like "Life Drain" already allow you to heal without gaining "Arcane Fever" in Enderal, probably due to the fact that you can't just heal on demand with them. So while I considered it, I left them alone.

I also didn't touch spell costs or anything like that - the base cost is huge on all the Forgotten Magic spells and without all the high mana pools & spell cost reduction we're used to in Skyrim that tended to balance them out nicely.

So: The basic spells "Divine Light" and "Healing Touch" now both have "Arcane Fever" as part of their basic effect. BUT - it get's nastier. I've also added the effect to several of the spell upgrades too - so these formerly OP spells (as they tend to be at higher levels) will become VERY risky to use. You'll have to be MUCH more tactical about your usage - no more spamming them to regain mana!

The upgrades that'll increase your "Arcane Fever" are:

Divine Light:
Divine Plea
Radiance of Light
Cleanse

Healing Touch:
Overgrowth
Oak Flesh
Cleansing Touch

I added "Arcane Fever" to the Overgrowth & Oakflesh effects as they're 2 effects that IMO really make Healing Touch insanely OP once it's leveled up. "Divine Light" seems OK (IMO), although I might end up adding "Arcane Fever" to "Divine Aegis". "Cleanse" & "Cleansing Touch" fit the Enderal lore too surrounding why healing spells cause "Arcane Fever". "Radiance of Light" should be pretty obvious. You'll need to keep plenty of Ambrosia handy if you plan on using these a lot.

Let me know if you have any issues with it, or if there's any other tweaks you think might work well.

Install
=======
1. Download it via NMM or MO.
2. Activate it & load it after both Enderal & Forgotten Magic Redone.
