About this mod
Materialize your spells into different swords and armors!
This is not my mod. The original author doesn't require permissions but does require credit. Credit goes to leron9999 for this mod. This was ported from Legendary Edition and all I did was updated the Nifs. The mod description is copied and pasted as-is. Do not expect any update

Battlemage Extended
There was a time when battlemages were amongst the most feared in combat; not for their prowess in magic and sword, no, but for their ability to merge both as if they were one and the same.
What is it?
Battlemage Extended is a magic and gameplay mod that allows you to equip a suit of armor and a sword from the spells you charge.
How is it done?
You have a lesser power called "Materialize". Activate it while charging a spell to don the armor or conjure the sword. Charging a spell on the left hand will equip a layer of armor over your current equipped gear, while charging a spell on the right hand will equip a sword as if casting a bound weapon. The swords and armors correspond to the school of magic. Example: charging a fire spell on the left hand and activating the Materialize spell will don the Fire Armor.
In case you equip something else, like another sword or a spell, activate the lesser power again without charging any spell and you'll equip the last sword you materialized.
Power attacks, sprinting, jumping, and holding of the walk/sprint button will trigger the effects depending on the armor/sword. For Alteration and Conjuration swords, try power-attacking a corpse.

Updates:
v1.12 A Few Things
Assets v1.2
v1.02 Hotfix... of a hotfix
v1.01 Hotfix
How to update:
Roadmap (of no promises):
Technical:
It uses scripts, yes, but I've tried it on my playthrough with 200+ plugins with little to no issue. Hopefully you won't have too much trouble. Also, a lot of the scripts there are unused, I just figured I'd put it in for everyone to see.
Compatibility:
Compatible with other spell mod as long as it uses the proper keywords. Any new item or equipment mod that uses the Slots 50 and 51 will be incompatible with the armors (they use that slot).
Requirements:
Vanilla Skyrim
SKSE
Known Issues:
A slight lag might occur when you summon the sword.
Some effects with regards to power-attacking corpses may not trigger.
Permissions:
Use it as you will, but please at least credit me if you're gonna use its scripts or assets. No permission necessary.
Tools:
3DS Max
NifSkope
GIMP
Creation Kit
Notepad++
Used Assets:
