MAGIC AND MAGICKA

The Dangers of Magic and the Importance of Discipline

�So, you learned a new fire spell and are anxious to try it out on the first bandit you see? Hold on a minute. Haven�t you bee listening to all those Nords around you? Magic is dangerous, friend. It�s best you just leave it alone. What�s that? You want to see your enemies burn? Okay, then let me just advice you that you need to learn some discipline before you go burning yourself up instead!
Anyone can cast a magic spell, but it takes effort to achieve the discipline to cast it correctly. Every magic school requires a certain amount of Discipline for each of its levels, from Novice to Master. Without it, you are not properly trained to cast a spell and this could cause the spell to backfire. It could create the exact opposite effect you want or give you some other unwanted trouble. People have been known to become unable to effectively fight for several days, and some have even died. Even healing spells can be dangerous.
If that is not enough reason to learn a little discipline before you go trying to be a wizard, then you should know that each Discipline perk will also make casting a spell take less magicka and could increase its power, as well.
So please, we don�t want to see you die. Skyrim needs a hero not another ash pile. Make sure you take the effort to get the discipline to cast a spell before you go shooting it off and risking people�s lives. �

Every spell has at least one adverse effect associated with it. This effect has a random chance to occur every time the spell is cast. That is the unpredictable nature of magic. The only way to avoid this effect is to learn the Discipline perk associated with the spell�s school and level. For example, the beginner�s Flames spell needs the first Sorcerer�s Discipline perk, while the master level Blizzard spell needs the final Sorcerer�s Discipline perk available only when your Destruction score is 100. All Discipline perks are in-line and will only become available at certain Destruction skill levels and only when the prior level perks have been chosen. For example, you cannot become disciplined in expert Destruction spells until you choose the perk associated with adept and lower level Destruction spells. That is the way of magic.
The risk of an adverse effect is random and begins at a 1 in 5 chance of happening. This risk increases as the spell level becomes more powerful. Master level spells have can have an adverse effect about once out of every two castings.
The adverse effects increase in severity with the spell�s level. Most novice level spells have minor effects, but some can potentially be deadly. They generally last only as long as the normal spell effect. Higher level spells become more harmful and last longer. Master level spells have effects that can last a very long time for the PC and can prevent him or her from adventuring safely for some time. There is almost always a danger of a long-term halt on Magicka regeneration with this level of spell, but there could also be lowered attributes, skills, or other handicaps if one is cast without the proper Discipline perk.




Magicka Exhaustion

�I�m sure everyone has seen or heard about some inexperienced sorcerer passing out while trying to freeze his enemies or the self-sacrificing healer who suddenly falls unconscious because she used every last bit of her energy to heal a wounded companion. These people were all so caught up in what they were doing that they forgot that magic requires energy simply called Magicka, a mental and spiritual source of power that is within every being. Some races naturally have a large amount of this energy and some have very little. It is to spell-casting what Stamina is to physical labor and combat. When one casts a spell, Magicka is drained for that spell to work. Thankfully, it recharges so we can continue to use it and the rate of this recovery varies among each race. It is possible, with experience and focus, to increase the amount of Magicka available so you can do more with it in a short time, and this is advisable to anyone who is going to be regularly casting spells because if all of your Magicka is depleted, then you suffer Magicka Exhaustion. This affliction causes you to fall down and pass out right there where you stand.
You are not totally unconscious, however, because you can see and hear still. You can even fumble through your pouch for a Magicka potion to restore your energy. You should always keep some of these with you because you will stay in this catatonic state until your energy comes back. Some races that recover Magicka quicker do not need to worry so much because they will be able to get back up after a second or two. The Altmer don�t seem to suffer this effect at all, being naturally immune to its effects. Orcs and other races that are not so adept with magic better hope they are in a safe spot when they go down because it could take them a while to get back up.�

When Magicka for a PC or NPC gets below a very low level, then that character will fall down and be unable to get back up until that energy gets back above that level, whether through natural Magicka regeneration or a potion. This level starts out to 5% of a character�s Magicka but that decreases as the Magicka pool increases for that character. Altmer are the only races immune to this effect, while Bretons and Dunmer are not as affected by it as other races.
In combat, you will likely see NPC�s falling down due to having expended too much Magicka. This leaves then wide open to attacks, but your PC will be in the same condition if you are not careful so always keep in mind how much Magicka you have left.

WARNING: If you are using Amazing Follower Tweaks and change the Combat Style of your follower to be one that turns off magic use for that character, then that NPC will immediately fall into Magicka Exhaustion. This is because that mod just sets the NPC�s Magicka to 0 so they don�t cast spells.

HEALING
�Tamriel is dying. Men and mer are at war yet again. There are dragons about and the World-Eater is returning. Kyne�s sacred tree in Whiterun is dying from a lightning strike, something that she should have had control over. Yes, it seems even the gods themselves are having problems. This chaos has affected magic. Not only is it dangerous for most people to cast, but healing spells have been weakened tremendously. If only there was a way to restore the healing powers of the World. Maybe if we found a way to please Kyne, then healing would restore at least some of its former power.�

Magic spells are about half as powerful as vanilla Skyrim. Their power can be restored through a certain quest and perk, however.



EQUIPMENT AND ITEMS

Weapons
�To fight effectively, you gotta know what you want from your weapon. Do you want to strike fast or strike hard? Do you want to stagger your enemy or try to land that perfect hit that�ll kill it right there on the spot? Different types of weapons and different materials are better for what you are goin� for. So, the weapons those elves make, they can be fast, but they can�t kill a troll with one blow like an orcish weapon sometimes can or stagger a bandit like a dwarven weapon. A big Warhammer can shake up your enemy real good, but it takes a long time to swing it and it just doesn�t cause as much damage as say, a battle-axe or greatsword.�

Iron weapons are basic weapons in all qualities. Steel weapons cause a little more damage but are otherwise similar to iron. Orichalcum weapons can be honed to be sharper than others so they cause a little more damage than steel, but their main quality is that they cause more critical damage and have greater chances for critical hits than almost any other material. Weapons made from moonstone are lighter and faster, but cause a little less damage and much less stagger. Dwarven weapons are heavy and they cause more stagger than any other material. Glass weapons are like moonstone weapons, but cause more damage. Ebony weapons are heavy and have all around good qualities, except for speed. Daedric weapons do more damage and criticals and are also faster than ebony.
Swords are the basic weapon type upon which all others are based. Maces cause a little less damage and have less reach, but they cause a lot more stagger. War axes have less reach, but cause more damage and criticals. Greatswords have increased qualities of a sword. Warhammers cause the most stagger, but are also the slowest. Battle-axes have the best criticals and cause more damage than a greatsword, but are slower and do similar stagger.
Bows and arrows also have their own qualities when it comes to their materials and these match up with those of melee weapons. The range and speed of an arrow is also determined by its material. Heavy arrows like steel and ebony do more damage, but they are slower and have shorter ranges due to weight and air resistance. Moonstone and glass arrows are the opposite.
Auto-aim for PC arrows has been disabled.
Damage caused by both the PC and NPC�s is twice as much at skill level 100 as it is at 10.
All weapon damage has had their damage increased approximately 50%.
Weapon type and material now each have one or more specialties associated with it: speed, weight, stagger, damage, critical hits, or speed. This allows for a more personalized combat style and makes for more immersion. The qualities of each weapon type and materials are described below sorted from the lowest attack damage to the highest.

Iron: Basic Weapon
Steel: Similar to iron
Moonstone: Very light weapons, increased weapon speed, more damage than steel, less stagger Orichalcum: Increased chances for critical hits, higher critical damage
Dwarven: Heavy weapons, increased stagger level, slow, decreased critical chance and damage
Glass: Like moonstone, but more damage and stagger
Ebony: High damage and stagger, heavy weapons
Daedric: Highest damage, best critical hit chances and damage, speed like moonstone




Armor

Armor Base Factor increased to 0.04 so that every piece of armor worn by a PC adds 4% to armor rating.
Armor Rating Max increased to 1.5 so that armor is 50% more effective at skill level 100 as it is at 10. Maximum damage resistance for PC and NPC�s is 95%.
Armor stats have been adjusted to be more immersive and realistic by adjusting the percentage of protection each piece in a suit of armor bestows. In vanilla Skyrim, cuirasses account for approximately 30% of a suit�s protection. Boots and gauntlets offer about 30% the protection of cuirasses. In reality, cuirasses would account for more protection, while boots and gauntlets would account for less. The chart below shows the approximate percentages of protection each piece in a suit of armor bestows.

Vanilla IEO
Cuirass 30% 50%
Shield 25% 30%
Helmet 17% 10%
Gauntlets 12% 5%
Boots 12% 5%

This makes the choice of cuirass and shield much more important. The following chart for steel armor show the Armor rating of each piece.

Steel Armor Vanilla IEO
Cuirass 31 65
Shield 24 36
Helmet 17 12
Gauntlets 12 8
Boots 12 8
Total AR 96 129

The Armor Rating of every piece of armor has been increased for most armor pieces, with heavy armor having the greatest changes, but armor weight has been dramatically increased, as well. You will no longer be able to carry a large number of cuirasses, helms and shield to sell for loot so pick your loot carefully.

Loot
New items are available to find and collect such as a lich skull, hagraven head, various ritual items, and other rarities.

Item Names
The names of several items have been rearranged so that items of the same group will stack together in your inventory. Items such as Ores, Pelts, Ingots, Dragon Claws, Soul Gems, and others will now be found grouped together in your inventory for easier locating.


ENCHANTMENTS

Power
Enchantments are 2.5x as powerful at level 100 as they are at level 10 without perks or other bonuses.
No Limits on Enchantments
Restrictions have been removed from enchantments, so they can be placed on any piece of armor.

Armor Enchantments
Many armor enchantments have been changed to better reflect a more useful and immersive purpose. The chart below details these changes:

Armor Piece Former Enchantment New Enchantment
Heavy Cuirass Fortify Alteration Fortify Carry Weight
Heavy Cuirass Fortify Conjuration Fortify One-Handed or Archery
Heavy Cuirass Fortify Destruction Fortify Two-Handed
Heavy Cuirass Fortify Illusion Fortify Magic Resistance
Heavy Cuirass Fortify Restoration Fortify Stamina
Heavy Gauntlets Fortify Alchemy Fortify Blocking

Can you imagine doing alchemy wearing dwarven gauntlets and a dwarven helmet? How could you see out of those little pinhole eyes? How could you hold those delicate flowers in those bulky gloves. These changes will make enchantments more realistic.

Robes
Values on robes have been changed, but these items will serve a greater purpose in a later update.

Jewelry
Due to the increased difficulty this mod presents, it also allows your character to wear an unlimited amount rings and jewelry from vanilla Skyrim. If you think this is overpowered, then just limit yourself to the amount you feel is appropriate.
You can only wear one Divine amulet at a time because they like fealty. The power of every amulet has been increased, but if you finish any Daedric quest, then you will lose this increased power for good because the Divines have no love for the Daedra.

COMBAT

�For gods� sake, keep some stamina potions with you. You�ll get tired swinging your weapon and drawing on your bowstring. If you get too tired, you won�t hurt your foe as much as normal. Plus, all the gear that you carry with you will weigh you down so that you cannot move out of the way of their blows. If you get badly hurt, then you will also be easier to kill.�

Every attack costs stamina. Stamina below 50 will lower your damage dealt by 40% and decrease your carry weight by 50. Stamina below 20 will lower your attack damage by 80% and decrease your carry weight by 100. You can be slowed down if you are over-encumbered. If your Health drops below 20, then you will take more damage than usual.
Vampires are immune to the effects of low health and stamina.

Fleeing
Enemies will now pursue you if you flee combat. They will leave their crypts and keeps to kill you. They can even follow you home. They are now immune to loading screens and will use this to their full advantage.

ALCHEMY AND FOOD

�The natural world is full of magic. Spells can simply by drinking a concoction made from a few herbs or various pieces of animals or monsters. Every alchemist knows that the most common properties of ingredients are those that restore or damage health, stamina and magicka or the recuperation thereof. These are considered the natural effects of ingredients, but there is a second tier that not only builds upon this one by allowing the alchemist to fortify health, magicka or stamina and create stronger poisons to damage them. This tier also dips into more magical effects such as bestowing either resistances or weaknesses to the elements of fire, frost and shock. More experienced also know the third tier, that which allows the imbiber to increase their skills. Finally, the greatest alchemists know the most esoteric properties of ingredients, the magic locked deep within them that can only be unlocked by luck or knowledge. These effects can turn on invisible, create a suit of iron armor on them, let them walk on water, and do a number of other fascinating feats!�

Alchemy skill factor increased from 1.5 to 2.0 so potions are twice as powerful at 100 Alchemy as they are to 10 Alchemy. This will help match them up with stock potion values.

Ingredients
All ingredients have had their effects completely changed to a system with many benefits. They have been distributed by power, rarity and most important of all, in a manner wherein now, it is impossible to make a concoction that has both negative and positive effects with two (2) ingredients. Secondly, each effect tier of an ingredient reflects the power of the ingredient as shown in the list below. The first tier of an ingredient will only either restore an attribute or damage it, but it may also cure poison. The 2nd Tier fortifies attributes, damages them over a long period, cure disease, and either resists elements or bestows weaknesses to them. The third tier fortifies one of the 17 skills. All skills but alchemy are included here. The 4th and highest tier are the most magical in nature and includes new effects like wabbajack, flame cloak, waterwalking and armor bonuses.

Recipes
Recipes have been updated to become lists of ingredients for each effect. Each is immersive, being written by an actual author, but they may nor may not be complete because some author�s might not be aware of some of the most powerful effects. New effects do not have any recipes associated with them because they are rare to discover.
You can buy recipes from any general trader or alchemist. Riften has more recipes related to thieving potions and Falkreath has more recipes related to poisons.

Harvesting
Harvesting an ingredient from a plant or felled enemy will now yield various amounts of its ingredient. For instance, you could get a single blob of troll fat or2 you could get 4 blobs. You could get one nightshade flower from picking it or 3. It is all random and varied depending on the size of the creature/plant and what it is so it will not be imbalanced.
Several plants have been renamed to be more immersive.

Potions
-Healing and other restorative potions now have a duration while still restoring the same amount of points.
-Potions have been renamed to stack with their own type in your inventory.
-Potions are more equal in the steps of their magnitudes. For instance, potions that increase your carry weight /now do so in increments of twenty, 20/40/60/80/100, instead of the vanilla system of 20/30/40/50/60
-Restorative potions for magicka, health and stamina can be combined by boiling together in a cooking pot. This is done WITHOUT any loss of magnitude or value.
-Various magnitudes and durations were increased to make certain potions more useful.

Food
Since EIO has reduced the regeneration values for health, magicka and stamina, you will need to eat and drink in order to fortify those values. Fruits and vegetables increase your magicka rate; apples also give you disease resistance. Cheese and meat fortify your heal rate. Breads and sweets raise your stamina rate. Stews and soups have the same ingredients as their ingredients, but last much longer.
Water is available in EIO and it is very useful when you are running all over Skyrim because it restores your stamina for 60 seconds. You do not have to get it from wells or other sources, because water boiled for drinking is readily available at any Cooking Pot.

Alcohol
Alcohol has good effects and bad. First and most importantly, it can make your character fall down drunk, even after one ale! It can also be detrimental to various skills like pickpocketing, lockpicking, and archery. It has the beneficial effects of increasing your damage resistance because alcohol often makes people feel no pain. It is also good for frost resistance.
Nords do not suffer any ill effects from alcohol, however, and there is a perk available that will grant the same benefit.

Immersive Cannibalism
Flesh from Men and Mer yield the ingredient, Flesh, but this cannot be used for making potions. Instead it can be eaten by both Wood Elves and those who have completed Namira�s quest, the Taste of Death, to receive a very strong Fortify Health bonus.

Moon Sugar
A staple of khajiit cooking, moon sugar allows this race to consume it and gain a very strong and long-lasting fortify stamina regeneration effect. In ES lore, moon sugar gives a person consuming it a happy and euphoric feeling. It can be cooked in a Cooking Pot to make skooma, or it can be turned into a poison that has a powerful Calm effect on the target.

WORLD IMMERSION
Spoiler�s Ahead

Redoran�s Retreat is now sure to have plenty of Dunmer hiding out there as the name implies and they brought some items from their homeland with them.

Halted Stream Camp is home to a unique spell tome that allows a person to turn iron into silver and gold. In my opinion, this book should be an artifact not just because it�s unique, but that once you get the spell, you have an easy way to get rich just by mining iron ore. I have made this book much harder to get. The bandits in this camp now consist of more mages to do the casting of that spell for the boss. The boss also bought several hounds to guard his mine from intruders. At first, he was going to bring in more bandits to protect the camp, but then realized that dogs don�t ask for a share of the gold and will happily guard it for mammoth meat.

There is a dead khajiit merchant on the road between Whiterun and Markarth, the route that another well-known khajiit uses. Have you ever wondered how he died?


RACES
Races are made much more specialized and unique. Every race has attributes that make sense for that race. For example, high elves start out with more magicka than orcs, but the latter have more stamina. This same differentiation applies to h/m/s regeneration, as well. Carry Weight is also varied among races with Nords and Orcs being able to carry much more than a Bosmer or Breton.
Movement is varied among races now. Big races like Nords and Orcs are slower than usual. Khajiits are very fast on land, while Argonians are faster in water.
Races no longer have starting bonuses to skills, so all skills will start at 10 for every character. Instead, every race receives a bonus to the skill it is known for. For example, Bretons have a bonus to the duration of their conjuration spells while wood elves gain a bonus to their attack damage with bows.
In addition to this, there is a perk tree for every race that includes various bonuses, including increased experience in the race�s natural skills and new abilities have been added to certain races to balance out their playstyle, but only if it fits with lore. For example, Bretons are known for their conjuration skills, so they no begin with a weak summoning spell.
Most races have immunities to certain things already, but IEO also gives the Nords immunity from the negative effects of alcohol so they can use the positive effects in combat. Redguards do not suffer a stamina drain when they are running because they are a race that is known for its stamina. Altmer do not pass out when they deplete their magicka.
All this combines to make every playthrough of Skyrim different from the last depending on your race.

DRAGONS

Dragons have been made more powerful. They now possess a great amount of health and their damage has been increased tremendously. Furthermore, there used to be a perk that made them take extra damage from the Dragonborn; they no longer have that. Until Deadly Dragons or some other mod comes out, this will make dragons the powerful entities that history has written about.

TRADE
Buying and Selling
fBarterMin and Max are 1.5 and 3, respectively so items are purchased at 3x base value at 10 Speech and 1.5 base value at 100 Speech, excluding any perks or other bonuses. PC can sell items at one-third their base value at 10 Speech and two-thirds their value at 100 Speech, excluding perks or other bonuses.
fBarterBuyMin and fBarterSellMax are 1.05 and .95 so that the lowest price the PC can buy an item is 5% above base price and the highest price the PC can sell an item is 5% below the base price.


Immersive Merchants
All merchant inventories have been changed to fulfill two purposes. First, to give them a larger amount and wider variety of items to sell. Second, to make them more immersive by specializing each merchant in items that are common to his/her area. Local mines, flora, fauna, and other factors now play a major factor in what a merchant sells. Some examples are:

Risaad�s caravan This caravan goes from Markarth to Whiterun and back, so he has a lot of silver goods and dwarven items from that western city, as well as a lot of Reach items like hagraven claws, forsworn items, and native flora. Caravans like this are the only places where lockpicks are for sell.

Imperial Trading Company
This is the largest merchant in the game. They have a lot of everything. They have rare and powerful items. If you are looking for the best of anything, keep an eye on this merchant.

Grave Concoctions in Riften
This alchemist has more poisons and poisonous ingredients than any other merchant due to her proximity to the Dark Brotherhood and the deathly vibe of Falkreath.


Orcish Strongholds
These are the main sources to purchase orcish equipment and metals.

Bee and Barb Inn
This merchant is very careful with dealings with the Black-Briars. As such, she offers their products almost exclusively, forgoing most all other drinks, except for the specialties that her husband sells.

There are many general changes to what all merchants carry, as well:

Inns
Inns sell only prepared and other ready-to-eat foods. Soups and stews are common, and Hearthfire foods are readily available. Inns also stock something to drink besides alcohol, namely water and milk.

General Merchants
Traders now stock merchandise such as pick axes, woodcutter axes, clothes, books and building materials. They sell bulk foods like bags of flour and cheese wheels, as well as food that will keep for a while. They also have a chance to stock bug jars.

Dark Elf Merchants
Every Dunmer merchant in Riften, Windhelm, and Winterhold stocks items from Solsteim, including armor, weapons, clothes, books, spell books, and special items.


Noteworthy Items
There is a very small chance that a merchant will have a very special item for sale. It could be a dragon claw, a Black Book, some Daedric equipment, an unusual gem, some unique item of clothing, or some unique decoration.


LEVELLED LISTS

Items
Levelled lists for items are mostly unlevelled now with higher end items being obtainable, but rare, throughout all levels. New levelled lists have been created to add immersive items to existing containers and levelled lists.

Creatures
Most NPC lists remain untouched for now. New levelled lists have been created to add immersion to some areas and to create hordes. It is possible now to encounter packs of wolves, swarms of spiders, and even a pride of sabercats.

SEPTIMS

Merchants
Merchants will carry random amounts of gold independent of character level, but dependent on what they sell and where they sell. Small town merchants have less gold than city merchants; blacksmiths and general goods merchants have more than other vendors.

Bandits
The amount of gold carried by bandits is unlevelled, but also reduced. Bandits guarding a wall would not be carrying around hundreds of gold coins on them. A few will carry about 100 septims with them in case they are routed and need to move on from their captured base, but most will carry less than that. New characters get the chance to loot more gold from bandits, but it will not be too much, and it balances out with high level characters looting much less gold than in vanilla Skyrim.

Draugr

PERKS

Most perks have multiple levels. The short descriptions below give the minimum and maximum bonuses you get from each perk dependent on the level. There are no restrictions forcing you to take one perk before you can take a different one. Perk requirements depend only on the level of a specific skill, attribute, or miscellaneous stat, ie. # of people killed, # of pockets picked, # of intimidations. A few perks require certain quests to be completed before they become available, such as the Daedric perks.
Perks that require certain skill levels usually have levels above 100, allowing you to pick increasingly powerful perks up to skill level 200. To access these perks, you will need an uncapper mod.
The perks that require a miscellaneous stat to be a certain amount are those that are specialized towards a certain action. For instance, the base Alchemist perks require a particular amount of potions to be created for each of its levels rather than poisons because it offers bonuses to potions only. The Poisoner perk requires a certain number of poisons to be created for each level. If the Alchemy skill level was used as a requirement instead, then a character could just eat a thousand ingredients and become proficient alchemist without ever mixing a brew.
It is recommended that you play with a mod that gives you at least 3 perks every two levels or one that offers a book or spell that grants you extra perks. Two perks a level can be almost overpowered but may suit some playstyles.

Smithing
As previously stated, EIO was developed with the 3/2 perk system in mind, getting an extra perk every other level. The Smithing tree has been split up to reflect not only that, but the actual difficulty of creating armor and weapons. The mod author has been fortunate to have been friends with a family of blacksmiths for several decades and has seen first hand what goes into making swords, maces, pieces of armor, and even pole arms. The skill needed to create different items is not just limited to knowing your metal as vanilla Skyrim portrated it, it�s knowing how each type of metal can be crafted into both simple and complex creations. Thus creating a cuirass is much harder than a pair of boots. Also, creating armor is different than creating weapons because they have different purposes, so just because someone knows how to make a decent sword it does not mean they can make a good helmet.
EIO divides every metal into four perks. The two lower perks, one for armor and one for weapons, allow the PC to create the more simple items. The two higher perks, one for armor and one for weapons, allow the PC to create all items of that metal. They represent a mastery of that metal including knowledge of its weaknesses, strengths, and manipulations.
In order for a PC to be able to make all items associated with a metal, a total of 4 perks must be learned. This is why an additional perk every other level helps, but even then it shows that the PC has put effort into his or her training and that smithing a skill to be dedicated to, and is not for those who want to good at everything.
To compensate for the higher amount of perks needed for the mastery of a metal, each of these perks also bestow a 30% bonus to improving such items, for a total of 120% improvement that reflects the character�s skill.
