1. Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spells Scale with Skill is the foundation of future work balancing and improving the vanilla Skyrim spells.
The goals of the mod are as follows:

*Improve the ability of vanilla spells to scale with players at they level and remain useful.

*Make all vanilla spells useful at all levels where game mechanics allow.

*Allow Enchanting to affect spell magnitude to scale spell usefulness into Expert and Master difficulties.

*Maintain the usefulness and balance of the magicka resource into high levels.

*Correct bugs in vanilla spells.

Currently, Spells Scale with Skill causes the magnitude of all spells to be multiplied by 1+Skill level/200 and
spell durations to be multiplied by 1+skill level/100. Fortify Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion,
and Restoration enchantments increase spell magnitude in stead of decreasing spell costs.
