About this mod
An expansion to my previous... expansion... Novice's Library.

My previous expansion to Mysticism, Novice's Library, aimed to address the one thing that was still bugging me about magic in Skyrim - a lack of options. Don't get me wrong, SimonMagus does a fantastic job of giving Skyrim that Vanilla+ feel, but this is Elder Scrolls, darn it! Just one game back you could go hog wild with spells and spell effects thanks to Spellmaking, and the only limit was your magicka pool. Now I can't do anything about Spellmaking being removed (I won't speak for Simon or his team, those people might actually be wizards), but what I can do is what I do best - chop up vanilla assets and call it something new.
For those who need a reminder, here's our returning stars from Novice's Library:
Destruction:
Illusion:
Restoration:
Seems like Destruction was getting too much love, doesn't it? It did to me, too, so here's what makes this the Expanded Library:
Alteration (2.2+ only)
Conjuration (Note that 1.11 uses the Spectral Arrow line, that DOES NOT benefit from Chaos Binding or Curse Binding):
Illusion:
All spells are integrated via CID into merchants' leveled lists to appear at appropriate points and vendors.
As usual, thanks to SimonMagus and the Simonrim team for all their hard work, an extra thank you to wSkeever for the script used to toggle spells, but most of all thank YOU for reading this far.
