Elemental Destruction Magic Redux
Adds earth, water, and wind as new types of destruction magic. Besides dealing the same amount of health damage as their vanilla counterparts, each new type of destruction magic has a unique secondary effect as well. Water spells stop enemy Magicka and Stamina regeneration for several seconds, earth spells stop Health regeneration and have a chance to stagger targets, and wind spells have a chance to blow targets away. This mod contains 29 new spells, including 23 destruction spells and 6 conjuration spells. You can increase their power of spells added by EDM through the vanilla perks. Earth, water, and wind spells benefit from the Augmented Flames, Augmented Frost, and Augmented Shock perks respectively.
How is Elemental Destruction Magic Redux different than the standard version of Elemental Destruction Magic?
These changes enhance compatibility and make this mod essentially compatible with all other mods made for Skyrim.
EDM Redux adds only spells and a couple of craftable staves. It does not touch other parts of the game.
(This means you do not need patches that the old version of EDM required in order for it to work with mods like Ordinator)

Spell and Staff Acquisition
Spell Tomes for the new spells can be purchased from any merchant that normally sells destruction/conjuration spell tomes. For example, Faralda at the College of Winterhold carries all of the new spells as long as your character's destruction skill is high enough. Staves can be crafted.
Note: The MASTER level spell tomes added by EDM will pop-up in vendor sell lists once you are EXPERT level in the respective magic skill. This is due to a limitation found in default vanilla Skyrim where there are no MASTER level 100 spell tome leveled lists. (they are obtained via quest not vendor in the base game)
There is also a cheat chest in Whiterun's Dragonsreach in Farengar's room. (contains all spell tomes and staves added by EDM)
Updates
Version 1.2.0:
- Fixed a blank keyword issue
- Added ESL flag to the mod (will no longer count towards your maximum number of mods
Version 1.1.0:
- Fixed leveled lists to now properly include novice spell tomes.
- Changed the name of the mod's esp from "Elemental Destruction" to "Elemental Destruction Magic Redux".
- The above changes make loot and other applications not suggest patches that are not required or recommended to be used with the redux version.
- You will lose previously acquired spells added by this mod. Reacquire them from a spell tome vendor or from the cheat chest.
FAQ
Q: How do I get the spells/staves?
A: Refer to the above section entitled Spell and Staff Acquisition
Q: Is this mod compatible with my other spell mods or overhauls?
A: This mod should be compatible with essentially every other mod made for Skyrim.
Q: Why are vendors not selling the spell tomes for the new spells?
A: A possible reason is that your character's destruction magic level is too low. These spells are treated like all other spells in Skyrim and will only be made available for purchase once your character meets the minimum destruction magic level requirement.
