Additionally you can use one of the beds and chests in the dorm, they are marked. The vendors here will, between them, buy basically everything. One of the vendors sells hunting supplies, one sells information and another sells mysticism tomes in addition to more common items.
Trophy collection: Inside your chest will be a hunting manual and a lore book. The hunting manual is a "spell book" which teaches you the perk required to harvest trophies, be sure to read it before you waste your time killing enemies for no drops.
The ledger: The ledger in the main hall will give you your chest key and can be used to turn in bounties for silver nuggets. The ledger will be disabled if you kill the NPC Regalt.
Hunter's crafting: learned from reading the hunting manual. portable crafting for various consumables such as bandages and silver oil. creating dust from nuggets requires a rockbreaker sold by haskill
The information broker: He offers notes that describe the location and denizens of most of the Bethesda vampire lairs, warlock lairs, draugr crypts, dragon priest crypts and hagraven nests. These notes are sometimes misleading on first glance or light on directions. He does not sell information pointing to unmarked locations (eg. the warlock near lakeview manor), minor locations (eg. falkreath watchtower), hagraven nests which are also forsworn camps or vital quest locations (eg. glenmoril coven). He also offers a "quest" to Felglow keep for the Attunement magic system.

Eastmarch Gentleman's Club, found in cell dealssyndicateclub and dealsdistributioncenter:
Facilities: Bed, safe storage (both cells)
The ledgers: Used to perform favours, hand in quest items, get rewards etc. depending on which one it is. the ledger will be disabled if you kill the NPC near it.
membership: offered only to thanes, army officers, guild masters, etc. become a member by talking to the club manager
Favours and service coupons: The club doesn't accept payment for services, they require service coupons which are given to members which have done the syndicate a favour. Favours become available based on things like being a legate, being a guild master etc. and currently just cost gold. Bonus coupons are earned if you perform the same favour multiple times.
Enjoying the club: The club has 5 different services to use coupons on. The bath/soap room give +10 speech for 36 minutes, the sauna 20 stamina, the prostitute 10% increased skill gain. The bar offers a trade of coupon for rare beverage. The gambling table can be used to play under-over-7. Additionally, while you have a coupon you can take advantage of the complimentary food and drink.
Working the club: If you wear a syndicate amulet of dibella you can work the club. The same 5 services are available but have a different effect. For the bar, sauna and gambling table you gain 1 credit toward the 6 required for a basic employee favour. The bed and baths offer 1 credit toward the 2 required for an advanced employee favour. The pay is awful and the patrons can give you diseases and bruises.
operatives: if you have been to the ragged flagon or delivered something to the club from one of the questlines you can ask for work that isn't at the club which unlocks the distribution center cell and starts the questline
Syndicate curative: (unlocked via the mageblight questline) gives you a 100% bonus to healing and stamina recovery for 3 min

Any active cult activities/orders/business deals etc. will be lost if you go to jail while waiting for a reply.
Investment ledger: The ledger upstairs (available after the first use of the cult and unpacking the supplies that arrive) can be used to manage the investment business. Letters require writing supplies that must be ordered through the outbox and every letter you send requires courier fees. Investment opportunities are created by sending business proposals and having them accepted. Likelihood of business proposals being accepted goes up with your investor reputation, and will always be accepted if they are "fancy". Accepted business proposals can be sent back out with gold as investments of varying risk levels. Investments will be returned with a varying return depending on chance and risk level.
Cult plotting map: Lysara can be sent to recruit cultists and your cultists can be sent on missions to gather blackmail material or freshly broken hearts or use influence. These missions can fail, killing the cultist (cultists can be reused on success), and even on success there is a chance that notoriety will increase. Failure chance goes up (goes down instead for recruitment) as your notoriety increases. Notoriety can be reduced by carrying out successful influence missions, using blackmail material. The cult plotting map will be disabled if you kill Lysara.
Hearthfire elements: Fairly straightforward minimalistic elements. Can sweep the cobwebs, fill the vase, set up the cooking pot and manually stock torches in the sconces you want lit.

Magic Systems:
Unless stated otherwise, the only vanilla perks which affect any of these spells are the basic cost reduction ones, many also do not benefit from dual casting. Most generate XP but not all.

Draugrisation:
Lifeforce: Draugr have a max lifeforce equal to their base health rounded down (some things can temporarily increase max over this). As lifeforce depletes (through a variety of quests/spells/etc.) your current max H/M/S depletes. Depleted lifeforce is restored up to your maximum slowly while sleeping.
Corruption: accepting the deal from the gem will remove the sleeping regeneration and slowly lower current lifeforce over time. as a tradeoff, it will remove your maximum lifeforce cap and allow you to drain small amounts of lifeforce from slain draugr
"Dragonborn": accepting the corruption also provides a "lore friendly" alternative reason to be a dragonborn and ability to trade dragon souls for lifeforce at the gem
priest spells (alteration):
Illuminate: basic light spell
Minor telekinesis: basic projectile damage spell
Lifetap: consumes some lifeforce to restore magicka

Attunement system:
Favour system: To get a patron, you need a favour token for that patron. The patrons are: The lost hist, the fallen star, mannimarco, the ideal masters, the nullifier, the nameless patron and the phantasmagorical. Favour tokens for each of these can be acquired from one of the various new crafting stations around fellglow keep, more detail in the fellglow keep overhaul section. Everything required for each token is available around the keep if you look hard enough. These favour tokens will not be visible in the crafting menus until you have read the ritual notes.
The ritual: To perform the ritual you need to read the spell book on the table in the room where the stone of barenziah is in fellglow keep. This will give you a spell to change your mind to erase the spells from your spellbook and another spell to perform the ritual. The ritual will fail unless you have a focus ring attuned to a patron equipped when you perform it, though this ring is not required after that point. This ring is crafted with the blue-fire in the room. Casting the ritual with an attuned focus ring will remove both the ritual spells and give you your three pact spells as well as the debuff. The debuff gives a flat -100% magicka regeneration.

Hunger: after eating a marrow you are well-fed for a time. during this time you have 50% bonus health and stamina regen and gain 3 new lesser powers. If this duration expires you have -100% health and stamina regeneration until you eat more marrow
Wendigo powers (lesser powers):
Bloodhound nose: detect humanoids, does not cause hunger and can be used while hungry
Agility: slow time, rapidly lose stamina. requires well-fed and causes hunger on use
Frenzy: bonus melee damage, lose health. requires well-fed and causes hunger on use
Torpor: rapidly regenerate health, paralysis on self. requires well-fed and causes hunger on use
Ring of Namira: While wearing the ring of namira twice as many marrows drop
Curing: becoming a werewolf or vampire lord will cure wendigo psychosis and render all marrows useless, but will not reverse the stats changes

Dragonknight
The Eternal Flame: Embracing the eternal flame in sky haven temple grants the 3 dragonknight spells, based off the dragonknight ardent flame skills from ESO.
Ardent Flame: The spells are lessers powers cast with stamina equipped in the voice slot
The spells:
Firebreathing: costs 50 stamina. 12 point flames for 3 seconds. (this has a random duration from 0.5 to 3 seconds and I have no earthly idea why, balanced around average of 1.25 second duration)
Enveloping Flames: cost 50 stamina. 7 point flame cloak for 5 seconds.
Flame Wave: Costs 100 stamina. 30 point firestorm explosion on caster

######
Other Features: Out of order, level of detail varied. generally self-explanatory

Mysticism (alteration)
Detect magicka: detects entities, distance of detection depends on their current magicka. below 100 magicka they will not be detected
Drain magicka: drains magicka from target based on how much magicka they have, higher drains faster. below 100 magicka they will still lose magicka but you will not absorb any
Spell Shield: concentration spell that gives 100% absorb while active
Silence: ravages magicka for an arbitrarily high amount for 5 sec then full-restores targets magicka
Anima-snare: soul-trap on white souls only

The Brethren, found in cell dealsdeeponemine
has a quest associated, will not be spoiled here. this feature is disabled after quest is completed
the front ledger: can turn in falmer ears or chaurus eggs for gold nuggets
Deep One Transformation: night eye power, sunlight aversion (no actual stat penalty), 20% weakness to fire and 20% resistance to frost, reduced speechcraft by 10 points, lesser power that cures poison/disease, increases healing by 500% for 30 seconds and paralyses you for 30 seconds.

Riften ratway overhaul
All the hostile NPCs and almost all traps are disabled. Most of the loot has been disabled as a result of this. New skooma vendor. Drahff and Hewnon are CLONES rather than the base characters for compatibility. There is a new barricade over the door into the ratway, a door to the ragged flaggon and the mechanism for the bridge is now disabled at the start. generally speaking you can talk to, fuck, bribe, pickpocket or kill your way through the problem.

Felglow Keep Overhaul
New crafting stations, notes, etc. have been added to the exterior and first 2 interior cells. These are all self-explanatory ingame. The ones marked with * are used to make patron favours as well for the attunement magic system. Exterior: meteoric glass boulder, ayleid well, lens array*, compost heap, hist sapling*. Interior 1: vampire blood, corrupted shrine*, soul cairn portal*. Interior 2: magic anomaly*, extraction set*, hollow log, fireplace*, aedric essence extractor and ritual bowl.
The new craftable consumables (eg. aedric essence infusions) do not have permanent effects.

Midden Improvements
The midden has the servitor spell tome and the recipe for the new atronach forge crafting. The midden dark has 2 shrines and the spell tome to dummon the dark tutor. The shrine of hermaeus mora gives a 10% XP gain buff as well as pointing directly at a ritual site if you haven't started the associated quest. The shrine of mannimarco makes your controlled undead heal 1 point per second, both function as normal shrines.

Servants and Séances
talking to Sadren Sarethi in his house south-south-east of sleeping tree camp opens the ability to work for him. involves blocking dialogue enabling activators around the house which must be used to cause a short passage of time in exchange for a small paycheck or deliveries. between serving duties, can talk to him to enable uses of the memento mori magic feature

Ambition, Revolution and Change
agreeing to let the cultist mark you unlocks conjuration training for amulets of stendarr and his vendor inventory while also teaching you sigil crafting. he will then blow up the witchhunters guild when you enter the shack again after reaching level 30.

College student.
The spell research system is fairly straightforward. The research 101 book is gained from dialogue with urag and adds an ability that allows you to perform or steal research. After using this ability there is a 4-hour ingame cooldown period before it is available again. When you use the ability you have a 1% chance to become inspired, creating notes you can sell. For every 20 BASE magicka or 10 points in magic skill you gain an additional 1% chance (always rounding down). Eg. at 200 magicka with 50 enchanting, 50 illusion and 90 destruction you would get 30% chance for inspiration. The other way to gain research is by murdering warlocks, then converting their notes. Converting notes is done via the same spell as experimenting, but has a 100% chance to convert a reclaimed research note instead. This adds a roleplay friendly way for players to stay at the college, while also incentivising dungeon crawling. You must read the book before notes will start to drop. While mentally exhausted from researching, can blow off steam with the other students to clear your head for the next research session.

Falion's Fast Travel
Falion sells the Slipstream Translocation spell. Casting this causes auto-load doors to appear at each of the standing stones for 5 seconds which take you to a pocket realm with doors to all the other stones. Auto load doors do NOT detect if you are standing on them when they appear. Stand back while casting the spell and THEN walk into it

Summon servitor
Found in a knapsack in the midden. The servitor functions as a standard conjure but cannot attack and has essentially no health. However, with each cast there is a 10% chance it progresses by a tier (1-5). As tier of the servitor increases, it gains health/stamina and attack damage. Each tier also has increasing reduction in player xp gain while the spell is not active, and ravage magicka effect while it is active. The spell never regresses in tier. The tier 5 servitor is instead an NPC that can be summoned to follow you around.

Bring me that (Black) Book
Offers a buff that cures disease and buffs health/stam by +X/+X for 36 min. The apprentice in the retching netch will accept books you have finished the quest for. The first book given removes the cost for her buff and gives details on the flesh cult and hermaeus mora ritual site. Each book handed in increases the buff by +10/+10

Altar of Molag Bal
In moldering ruins. If a vampire activates the blood sacrifice it summons a malign presence and allows use of the altar. The blood sacrifice reduces healing and stamina recovery by 75% for 1 ingame day. Using the altar before the malign presence despawns gives you vampire lord form and an experience gain penalty.

Blade of the Ravener
Held by Bashnag in Southfringe Sanctum. The sword gives access to a lesser power while equipped. Using this power gives you 2x healing rate and 50x stamina rate for 10 seconds while slowing time by half for 15 seconds. Each use of the sword increases your corruption level, once you reach "total corruption" the power of the sword changes. Further uses of the sword will summon the ravener (unused gargoyle boss profile) which will try to murder you, but will also be hostile to everything else as well. The ravener does not time out, if you summon it at a chokepoint full of enemies you will need to kill it to pass.

Clavicus Viles wishing well
Some of the wishes give joke items/spells, others give large % increase/decrease in skills or stats. I won't spoil the surprise on what you get. If you want to clear the wishes, wish to "Start Over".

Dark Tutor
Found on the shrine of Hermaeus Mora in the Midden Dark. Summoning the tutor gives you greater ward, close wounds, fireball, frost cloak, frenzy, rally, telekinesis, ironflesh, revenant and frost atronach spells for 36 minutes. You will have a malus of -75% xp gain for 72 minutes. You cannot cast it again until the malus times out.

The Tragedy of Stauf
The instruction manual can be found inside a chest in the storage cupboard on the top floor of the bard's college. The instructions are pretty clear. If you follow them you get a contract, a scroll which on use will give you: 100% bonus health/stamina/magicka regeneration, 25% better buy/sell prices and 100% bonus experience gain for 1 skyrim year. At the end of that year your character dies.

Trafficked
capture: can be accessed in 2 ways. talking to the new npcs at darkwater crossing and the hunter hotspring will result in player being "roofied", permanently becoming immune to accidental mageblight infection. syndicate associates will be safely released while other characters will be sold to the brothel and lose their inventory. webspinners can talk to lysara to arrange being sold deliberately but gaining 15 cultists and with no inventory loss
brothel mechanics: player can choose to skip directly to release if desired. otherwise they must service patrons via dialogue until earning sufficient credit for release. choosing to cooperate instead of resist increases credit gain.
penalties and rewards: submitting will slowly increase speech skill. resisting will slowly increase maximum magicka. skipping will decrease max magicka based on length skipped.

Build my house for me
Once you own at least 1 property, smiths gain dialogue to create items for you. This requires you to have the raw ingots in your inventory and costs 10g per craft. The construction crew is hired/fired via the drafting table

Shehai
The shehai spell is found in a pack by the frost troll on the 7000 steps. The shehai is a lesser power that functions as a bound sword in the right hand only. The shehai has an enchantment that gains +100% magnitude if you have the ancient knowledge quest perk and +100% if you have the third word of unrelenting force. Effects:
turn undead (5): completed DLC1HunterBaseIntro quest
stamina damage (7.5): completed C01 quest
soul trap (2sec): 75+ enchanting
shock damage (5): completed MS05 quest
paralysis (1sec): 75+ alchemy and roll a 1 in 4 on hit (may actually be resisted now that I look at it again)

frost damage (5): completed CW01B quest
fire damage (5): completed CW01A quest

pure damage (3): 75+ smithing
disarm (99): completed TG01 quest and roll 1 in 10
mehrunes razor effect: completed DB02 quest

Conjure Nightmare Courser
Functions similar to Arvak spell, courser is more aggressive and does more combat damage. Bought from Talvas or Phinis or from random expert conjuration leveled lists.

Dreamcatchers
In the inventory of the vaermina cultists. While you are wearing a dreamcatcher any enemy that is susceptible to basic illusion magic will drop nightmare fuel on death. You can use the waking nightmare power added while wearing the dreamcatcher at the cost of using 1 nightmare fuel. Waking nightmare has a 50% chance of fear, otherwise frenzy, on any level target that is normally susceptible to illusion spells for 15 seconds.

Gargoyle Crafting
After reading the book on valerica's table you can make gargoyle thrall "scrolls" at the forge, with a large quantity of stone and a soul gem. These will be banished if you cast another summon. The gargoyle gains 50 extra armor for every 25 points of alteration 25-100, 20 points of magic resist for 25 enchanting 25-100 and 60 points of stamina/health for every 25 points of smithing 25-100.

The Cup of Plenty
Found on one of the mead barrel tables in the Misty Grove. It is a "food" that can be "eaten" every 12 hours to spawn a mead in your inventory.

Rorikstead's dark secret
talk to mralki and agree to find out for him. head to lunds hut and read his suicide note. sneak into roriks manor when they arent home and find the basement. knock down the wall, read the note, place 250 septims on the offering plate and make your choice. the 3 personal wishes are identical to 3 of the wishin well wishes

Thaumaturgy
Complete wylandriah's fetch quest to unlock a lore dialogue that ends with 5 free points in alteration and illusion and 2 free spells at the cost of becoming so delusional you believe you are the dragonborn. reality is overrated anyway.
spells:
invulnerable (illusion): heal self
messiah (alteration): waterwalking

Telekinifty
Learning telekinesis opens the option to talk to neloth about his elevator which leads to a quest. Get the staff near the chest at the base of the waterfall. Return it for alteration master spells which function as 1-word unrelenting force and whirlwind sprint.

That Secret Magic
Drelas' cottage now has a transmute tome that works in reverse. The room with the white phial now has a transmute tome. The existing 2 tomes are disabled.

Elixir of "Life"
Neloth's alchemist will now offer you dialogue after completing her quest as normal. dialogue enables taking organs from slain mer which can be turned in for minor potions of well being with additional roleplay value

The Reach Belongs to the Forsworn!
After madanach is returned to druadach redoubt you can ask to join the forsworn. He gives you a storage chest with a bunch of forsworn gear and a massive bounty in the reach. Killing any reach-based hagraven, reach-based orc, markarth guard, non-breton reach resident or non-druadach forsworn gives you the option to multilate their corpse. You can return to madanach for a supply kit based on how many corpses and what type you have mutilated since the last supply kit.

Daedric Crafting
The recipes for Daedric crafting are unlocked by talking to phinis, getting the diadem of the savant and talking to him again. Requires the lunar forge at silent moons, the ebony smithing perk, knowing at least 1 bound weapon spell, a daedra heart and the ebony base item equivalent.

Hunting Experts
Faendal, Elrindir and Anoriath now have dialogue pointing to angi's camp. After completing all 4 of her tests she has dialogue pointing at Froki's shack
