Forbidden Library - 1.7
Adds a room to the Midden that allows books to be traded for a random other book of the same type, e.g. Spell Books, Skill books or standard lore books.
Key to Library in Arch-Mage's Quarters. Library itself in Midden next to the Atronach Forge.

Hopefully it's fairly intuitive, but if not:

- Open the container in the Forbidden Library called "Book Depository".
- Place in a soul gem (explained below), a ruined book (either of the two vanilla variants work), and a book of the type you wish to recieve (explained below).
- Pull the handle trigger
- Take your random book out of the depositry after the summon animation has finished.
- That's literally it.

For the purpose of this mod, categories of book are:
- - Lore Book, any of the lore books in the game (Does not include journals, notes, bounties, potion recipes or Elder Scrolls)
- Lore Books require Petty Soul Gems or higher, because these books are only really flavour text, and so it doesn't make sense to make them expensive.
- - Spell Book, any spell book in the game (Vanilla + Dragonborn DLC Spell books in the main mod, other books added by their relevent optional add-ons)
- Spell Books require Lesser Soul Gems or higher, because they're very useful, but also are only single use.
- - Skill Book, any of the books that level up skills (Again, Vanilla + Dragonborn DLC books only in the main mod, and others added by relevent optional add-ons)
- Skill Books require Greater Soul Gems or higher, because not only are they useful, but after reading them, you could just put them back in the library.


You will recieve a random book from these archetypes based on which type of book you put in the box to begin with.

REQUIREMENTS
- Skyrim (up to date)
- Dragonborn DLC


Minor other things include:
Some ruined books scattered in the library.
The Library is navmeshed for what it's worth.

There are add-on plugins on the file page as optional downloads, place those patches below this one in the load order.


INCOMPATIBILITIES
- I couldn't find any, and i have tons of mods installed, but i assume any mod that alters the Arch-Mage's quarters or the Midden would fuck it up.


Changelog (any version numbers not included here are because they were shit and didn't get uploaded but are still kept as a seperate version in my archives):

1.7
Main edited to add a more intuitive cost for the different types of books.
Also, tweaked a couple of things like the Arch-mage note and some scenery.
Altered the recipe lists to allow unfilled as well as filled, for the mean time this is the only way to allow the use of soul gems that haven't been found filled or purchased pre-filled.


1.6
Main mod edited to allow add-ons to be included in the Forbidden Library's functionality
Add-ons uploaded

1.1
Main mod uploaded

This is the first mod i've added, so let me know if you have any questions, thoughts or insults.
Thanks,
