About this mod
A Spell Research import patch for Mysticism, using JContainers to read the spell metadata from an external file rather than baking it into the script.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This patch imports Mysticism's new spells into Spell Research, allowing them to be discovered, studied, and for tomes teaching them to be written once you've learned the spell. It also makes adjustments to a number of the vanilla spells, reflecting the changes from Mysticism. It uses JContainers to read all of this metadata from a JSON file instead of baking it all into the import script, which should significantly improve maintainability and human-readability.
This project originally began as an unofficial update in the comments section of Charlymbx's equivalent patch. Over the course of a number of community updates, it had become a buggy and unreadable mess, so I resolved to make a new version from scratch.
Another honorable mention here is Djarb's Spell Research JSON Patch framework. I've done something very similar to what that mod does, but had to make my own variant that supports un-importing and re-importing existing spells, since Mysticism is a broader magic overhaul as well as just a spell pack.
Complementary Mods
If you're looking for a mod to force you to actually research new spells instead of eating spell tomes and learning them instantly, consider Spell Research Synthesizer. This is a patching tool which eats the Papyrus source code from normal Spell Research patches, JSON files made for Djarb's framework, and the custom JSON format used by this mod to produce a master patch with the option to prevent tomes from teaching spells, instead listing their Spell Research archetypes.
As an alternative or complementary addition, there's also Immersive Spell Learning - DESTified. Spell tomes will continue to teach spells, but learning them from a tome will require several hours of study. You can use this alongside the Spell Research Synthesizer, and it'll effect any tomes which you've left out, such as if you've excluded novice-tier tomes.
