Changelogs

Version 6a
- Removed the FISSES dependency. It is safe to upgrade mid game.
- Disabling FISSES mid game is not recommended and other mods might require it. If you do disable FISSES you will have one Unattached Instance from FISSESScript.
- I will recompile with the FISSES calls removed when I get my system ready to compile scripts.
Version 6
- Tested and working on both AE and SE. You must use the current versions of skse64 and FISS for the game version you have.
  Must start a new game for this version.
- Setting a level cap for Magicka and Stamina is now required!!!! Not doing so will cause unlimited growth and potentially cause problems.
- Reconfigured the multipliers for a more realistic, but not painful Stamina & Magicka leveling experience.
  The leveling experience is more linear. As a new mage or warrior you are still learning, as such the growth will be minimal. The more you cast spells and fight the more Magicka & Stamina experience you gain.
  You can now max out the experience multiplier (max of 2) without breaking immersion.
- Channeled events add Stamina & Magicka experience the fastest. The following are some of what is considered a channeled event.
  Eagle Eye
  Channeled Spells (Wards, etc)
  Running
- Additional events that add Stanima or Magicka.
  All power attacks and bashing with a shield or any weapon increase stamina experience.
  Any spell cast will increase magicka experience.
- The multipliers have been decreased.
  Setting the multiplier slider to MAXIMUM will no longer cause run away growth.
  Your growth will now stop at the level cap you set.
  The level cap can be changed mid game, but doing so could potentially cause problems. So choose your cap well.
- Wish list - Any help with making these happen is welcome.
  Find a way to have carry weight increase stamina growth.
  Find a way to have unarmed combat increase stamina growth.
Version 5.1
- This version is more restrictive and hopefully immersive as it restricts growth and places a soft cap on the Magicka and Stamina limits. The default values and ranges were drastically reduced; and setting the soft cap should help to control potential run away growth.
- Changes to Stamina
  
  Power Attack EXP multiplier changed to 10 from 20.
  Default Stamina limit set to 3,000, you need to set it to your preferred value.
  Slider Cap defaults to 3000 and can be changed to 8,000.
  Multiplier Range changed to 0.1 to 0.5
  Default Multiplier set to 0.1
- Changes to Magicka
  
  Dual Cast Multiplier changed to 1.5 from 2.8.
  Default Magicka cap set to 2,000, you need to change it to your preferred value.
  Slider Cap defaults to 2,000 and can be changed to 6,000
  Multiplier Range changed to 0.01 to 0.50.
  Default Multiplier set to 0.01.
  The slider will go below 0.1, but it will not display the actual value. It is still calculating your growth.
Version 5
- Fixed the FISS preset load script in magicka and stamina. A patch is available for v3.5 and v4. The V5 is now the main release, all others will be phased out. Incorporates script edits for stamina growth provided by Jet33owul34 . This should fix problems with stamina not recognizing the growth cap (hopefully) fixing the IsBelowCap() bug.
- The latest (and hopefully final) version, ESL v5, has all the most recent updates and fixes. This can be used to update the BETA, otherwise a new game is recommended.
- All further updates will be based on the v5 ESL version only.
Version 4
- Added a compressed and ESF version. Tested for 20 levels with no noticeable problems.
- As the records are compressed to flag this as an ESL, I recommend using this with a new game. You might get away with adding it on a current save, but the old scripts would have to be cleaned from your save. This is for you to decide.
Version 3.5
- Drewkerr provided some fixes for the run away magicka and for bound weapons. Thanks for the trouble shooting and fixes!!!!
- Some mods were triggering "CastStop" without first triggering "MRh_SpellFire_Event" or "MLh_SpellFire_Event", which update DynamicMagickaTime. These issue were fixed by setting it to an impossible value (a negative time) after "CastStop" is triggered and OnPlayerLoadGame then checking if it's positive before continuing.
- Checking playerRef.GetAnimationVariableBool("IsCasting[Dual/Left/Right]") or instead of playerRef.GetEquippedSpell([0/1]) allowed bound weapons spells to work.
- Drewkerr also made some minor design changes like tracking concentration spells and using the effective magicka cost instead of the base cost for calculating XP.
- There are two files you can download. If you just want the updated script download the patch. For first time users download the full mod.
Version 3.0
- Changed the way the Magicka script handles its calculations.
- Removed the reset feature on Magicka and Stamina.
- Make the patch work on either version.
Version 2.0
- * Changed some of the values in calculating how fast Magicka and Stamina grow. Stamina now grows dropping the multiplier as such. (weight/total carry weight*5 times multiplier) Was a 10 times multiplier
  
  * Changed the default starting values. Magicka and especially stamina grow at a much slower, more realistic rate. The multiplier can still be changed in the Menu
  
  * Re-compiled the scripts against SkyUI_SE 5.2
Version 1.0
- Ported Skyrim LE version 7.01 to Skyrim SE with permission of Zenith44. All previous changes are listed on the original mod page.

Now working on AE!

Mcota created a patch that removed carry weight from the stamina calculations. You can download it here. Dynamic Magicka and Stamina Growth - No Carry Weight patch

NOW ESL-ified!!!
VER 6a - Removed the FISSES dependency. Safe to update mid game, HOWEVER... There is only one FISSScript orphaned when FISSES is removed mid game. Keep in mind other mods might need it. Disabling FISSES mid game is your call.

Having received permission from the mod's creator, I bring you the SE port of this great mod! Initially ported on SKSE64 v 2.0.10, it currently runs on 2.0.20, current Skyrim SE build and on AE with 2.01.3 with no problems.

This mod works with SkyrimSE Update 1.5.80.0.8 and up, FISS v 1.3.6 and SKSE64 2.0.16 and up. This mod has been reported to work with Skyrim VS, however you might have to use an older version of FISS. See the comments section for additional information.

Be advised I do not use Skyrim VS or any Console and have no intention of doing so. However if someone from the VS community wants to assist with making this work on the VS platform feel free to contact me.

I also do not use any mods from the Creation Club, as such I will not answer any questions about compatibility with CC mods. However if you do use CC mods and want to report on compatibility, do so in the comments section.

PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER ZENITH44 WITH CHANGE REQUESTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PORT. But DO make sure you download and endorse the original mod from HERE.

Permissopn from Zenith44

Hi Huurg,
Thank you for asking,
You have my full permission to port, modify, and upload the mod for Skyrim SE.

_____________________________________________________________________________

I will do my best to keep this mod current and work on any problems which might arise. The following description was taken from the original mod page, but the links were updated for Skyrim SE.

Zenith44 created and owns this mod, I am just its custodian on SSE..

-::= Quick Summary =::-
A simple mod that allows Magicka and Stamina to gain Experience and grow as you cast spells and swing your weapon around !! After Installing go to your mod configuration and check the box to activate the magic effects.

-::= More In-Depth Description =::-

For a long time I've loathed the static choice of health, magicka or stamina per level.
And hated never having enough magicka or stamina because I've invested in health.
So I made this mod for personal reasons and decided to share it here.
No Longer will I be the mage who has no health because I invested in magicka.
No Longer will I be the warrior who has no stamina because I invested in health.
With this mod both your stamina and magicka will increase as you exercise them.
Simply cast spells and swing your weapon around to gain exp and see your magicka and stamina grow.

How this works is if a spell cost 10 magicka you'll get:
- 10 exp at a multiplier of 1 means casting the spell 10 times to grow
- 2 exp at a multiplier of 0.2 means casting the spell 50 times to grow
- 20 exp at a multiplier of 2 means casting the spell 5 times to grow
Stamina works likewise, except replace spell cost with weight and casting with swinging.

-::= Dynamic Magicka Features =::-

EXP growth for Magicka based on spell cost
Configurable EXP multiplier (Default is 0.01 exp per magicka point)
EXP need is equal to Magicka Base value
Magicka Growth is one to your level random integer
Channeled spells grant 1 xp per second cast times the multiplier
Configurable Magicka Growth Cap (Stops exp when you have X base Magicka)

-::= Dynamic Stamina Features =::-

EXP growth for Stamina based on weight
Configurable EXP multiplier (Default is 0.05 exp per weight point)
EXP need is equal to Stamina Base value
Stamina Growth is one to your level random integer
EXP can be gained by swinging weapon (Weapon weight worth of exp * multiplier)
EXP can be gained by Sprinting (carry weight/total carry weight*5 times multiplier)
EXP can be gain by blocking (Half attacker's weapon weight times multiplier)
Configurable Stamina Growth Cap (Stops exp when you have X base Stamina)

-::= Installation =::-

Either version can be installed on an existing game for the first time. To upgrade see below.

Requires: SkyUI
Requires: SKSE64
Requires: FISSES

Download the mod.
Extract the .rar into your data folder or install with manager
Go to your load order
Activate DM&SG.esp
Go to skyui and activate in the mod menu
Set a reasonable limit using the slider on the configuration page.
Check your active magic effects for dynamic magicka and stamina effects
Have Fun :)

-::= Upgrading =::-

With V5 and up you should be able to overwrite the existing mod. I do believe the mod is where it needs to be and should not need any additional changes. But one never knows.

Now I've removed a few options from the menu and have changed the way exp is handled with the multiplier.
After installing you will have to change the settings to something you like.
I suggest something like 0.2 for a background feature and 1.0 for a quicker progression, 2.0 is the max.
You'll level up if your exp reaches the same value as your base magicka.
How this works is if a spell cost 10 magicka you'll get:
- 10exp at a multiplier of 1 means casting the spell 10 times to grow
- 2exp at a multiplier of 0.2 means casting the spell 50 times to grow
- 20exp at a multiplier of 2 means casting the spell 5 times to grow
[/spoiler]

-::= Compatibility =::-

Some modded spells and magic might not trigger dynamic Magicka.
Any mod that tampers with attack speeds or item weights may break dynamic stamina's balance. For example swinging a sword at the speed of light and weights more then your Stamina pool might cause some exponential growth. If this happens you may have to drastically lower the stamina growth multiplier.

Spell Research has been reported as causing problems while dual casting.
Stamina Matters is not compatible.
Imperious - Races of Skyrim has been reported to break Dynamic Stamina. Only activate the Magicka module with Imperious.

-::= Recommended Mods =::-

Tomes of Power - An Immersive Magic Scaling
La Bella - Simple Compendium
Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim
