INTRODUCTION
               This mod main focus is to make magic more interesting while keeping it fairly "Vanilla" there's a lot of stuff and spells returnign from previous games but also a lot more new stuff as will find out from skill description below.



ENEMY COMBAT
Enemies will now use spells like blind, soultrap and such else, so be careful or buy counter-spells, at higher level you will encounter enemies with expert level spells and even powerful lunatic cultists of daedra.

MANA, SPELL COST AND SPELL CASTING

now all races have much slower mana regeneration and less mana overall, all spells cost much more and require more time to cast, yet they also reward you for this, so that you won't be just spamming same firebolt spell 100x times per second, instead spells like ice storm deal massive damage and slowdown everyone while taking 0,5s to cast, but it costs a looot of mana and is hard to land. Fireball on the other hand has less damage and mana cost whilst being easier to land, but it takes 3,5s to cast. So choose wisely if you want to throw your entire mana pool just on a one bandit when casting a powerful spell.
Oh, and you cal also put elder scrolls on you back like Serana did and gain bonuses yo your spells from it.

SPELL BOOKS
You start the game without any spells, and you can't learn them, unleas you have enought magicka, also instead of normal spelltomes, now you will find wizards selling "grimoires". These books teach you the spells of certain levels. (like: book of fire part 2 will teach you fire magic on apprentice level) etc.
Once you buy a grimoire and learn a spell from it, it will disappear like normal spellbooks. Basically it's a spellbook packs with multiple spells. You can still find 
regular spelltimes that only offer you one spell tho. But basic spells are sold in bulk to promote more diversity in spell casting.

NEW ROBES
There are alternatives to archmage robes if you are bored of them, at level 50 in any school of magic you can craft new archmage robes, and upgrade them further at level 60 in any magic school. You can craft them at Alchemical station (Alchemical stations now serve as both alchemy tables AND magic crafting stations)

RITUALS
Some type of Grimoires are not directly related to spells, instead they allow you to perform rituals at dark shrines wich you will find across skyrim.
Depending on what kind of grimoire you have, you can either teleport yourself, summon permanent atronachs or undead that will not add to your minion count and will listen to your command, or summon unbound atronach in mid battle as an act of desperate need of help. The amount of rituals is too great to describe here so let me be quick: You can summon permanent atronachs, undead, soul cairn minions, flesh atronachs, sell souls to ideal master to get new spells. You can do a lot.
(These atronachs and undeads will also benefit from perks like dark souls etc)

UNDEAD DRAGON
When your conjuration is powerful enough, you can summon giant black undead dragon named Noon'mere 
he will use special necro-themed spells and summon an army of soul cairn soldiers with his unique shout
You can also ride on him into battle for some ultimate dark lord experience.
Dragon stays forever after being summoned and doesn't add into summon count, he will fly around patroling terrain and if he get's lost you can call him by using the power again.

APOCRYPHA AND DEATH MAGIC
While lurking in Apocrypha, you may encounter new spelltomes dedicated entirely to Haermerus Mora or Death Magic, in combination with new Mora armor (look at photos) you can now roleplay as Mora cultist or powerful Necromancer.

PORTABLE CRAFTING
Now you can use new "alchemy altar" crafting station to make usefull mutagens, scrolls, essences, advanced or black soul gems (more on that in enchanting/alchemy description) But you can also craft portable alchemy/enchanting/altar stations at smiths  in case you need to travel where you won't find these commidities.



DARK SHRINES
You can find objects knows as "Dark Shrines" at random places across skyrim, one is near falkreth mage tower, these objects are used to perform variety of rituals and interact with other features of this mod.


CORRUPTED DAWNBREAKER
After you complete your mission for meridia, you can choose to use the dawnbreaker same way the necromancer tried to and corrupt it at any dark shrine, or cleanse it at the shrine of arkay if you wanna come back to the previous version.
Corrupted dawnbreaker will soultrap the living and will summon corrupted shade after killing his victim.


STAFFS CAN CAST MULTIPLE SPELLS
with the newest enchanting update, staves can cast multiple spells, all depends on how powerful you are, advanced enchanter can now craft unique staffs with mutiple effects and use the basic effects, advanced effect, and ultimate effect, more about it in the Enchanting section

ALCHEMY - KOŚCIEJ AND MUTAGENS!!!
Alchemy has been remastered, roleplaying as alchemist is now a viable option. But let's run it down.
-You can find/buy book called "essence of alchemy" part 1 and 2
-these books will let you use alchemical workbench to create "essences" which are basically super overpowered potions with multiple effects
-on top of that, you can create three special elements: Rubedo, Albedo, and Nigredo (Witcher 1 inspired) and add them to essences which in result will add another effect to the essence when you drink it
-Nigredo will increase your reflexes, Rubedo health regeneration, and Albedo magic powers.
-This way you craft idk, essence that gives you super high magic powers and add nigredo to it, so now you'll get magic powers plus the time will slow down for the duration, or add Rubedo and you will get HP regen for the duration (You can add only one element to essence)
-Another inspiration from Witcher 1 is the elements, advanced alchemist can now pufiry ingredients into pure elements (Hydrogenum, Rebis, Aether etc..)
-Each of these elements serves as it's own ingredients but with WAAY more powerfull effects than regular ingredients. You can use them to make incredibly better potions, but mind that they require lots of things to make.
-New effects added to somee of the ingredients: Etherilize, Slow, Night Vision, Damage Undead, Combust (Fire cloak)
-Advanced Alchemist can create mutagens, these are extremely powerful potions that will give you permanent buff after you succesfully survive the mutation
-Mutations can range: Night vision, Health bonus, mana bonus, enhanced reflex, poison spit, magic absorption/resistance, or empowerment to your dark magic.
-You can also find alchemical book on how to create spider servants and undead werebear, use them as you wish, the higher your alchemy level, the more sick experiments you can perform.
-You can also craft special and incredibly powerful ingredients by taking the normal one and purifing them at alchemy table.



NEW PLAYER HOME - mage tower in Falkreth and near Riften
Falkreth watch tower (that old tower near falk, that had one necromancer in it and was really ugly)  has been turned into player home, so you can roleplay as a mage living in your tower. It has enchanting table, alchemy lab, and dark shrine just next to it. There is also another, much bigger tower, north of Riften if you want some more high fantasy mage roleplay.
