In my game, I wanted the effects of Ocato's Recital to be more difficult to obtain. With this mod, when a spell is triggered by Ocato's Recital, it will consume Magicka. If the player doesn't have enough Magicka for the subsequent spell(s), they will not trigger, and a message will appear. The consumed Magicka is a flat amount and is not affected by modifiers such as "Spells cost x% less to cast". It is reduced by Alteration skill level and halved if wearing clothing in the body slot: TriggerCost = (140 - Alteration) / 2 if there is clothing in the body slot. (The minimum cost is 10 as a failsafe, but it can not be this low normally.)
Here are some examples of the consequences of this cost:
- An armored character with 100 Magicka and 15 Alteration will not be able to trigger even a single spell.
- An armored character with 130 Magicka and 15 Alteration will be able to trigger 1 spell. (Novice hood at level 1)
- An unarmored character with 130 Magicka and 15 Alteration will be able to trigger 1 spell and still have more than 50% Magicka left for combat. (Novice hood + robes at level 1)
- An armored character with 100 Magicka and 100 Alteration will be able to trigger 2, but not 3, spells.
- An unarmored character with 300 Magicka and 80 Alteration will spend 10% of maximum Magicka per spell triggered.
I do not have the mod set up so the cost can be changed easily. If you want to change it, you will have to edit the source and re-compile the script yourself.
