About this mod

Lightweight destruction overhaul mod - changed perks tree and added new abilities for some vanilla spells

Requirements
Permissions and credits
The main goal of this mod it's to make some vanilla spells more useful, especially on high levels. And also make a difference between fire, frost and storm mages. I add new abilities to  runes, cloaks, walls, area spells and master spells (to unlock abilities need learning perks), add two perks for spellsword. And I also unlock dual cast for masterspells (casting animation is the same).
