About this mod
Eating books is so lame. This mod overhauls the way you learn new spells.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This mod is similar to Better Spell Learning and Immersive Spell Learning. Actually it is inspired a lot by them. However, I still felt like it is lacking something. So I set out to create my own mod with how I have imagined studying spells should be in Skyrim.
Mechanics
Study Session
If you have a book, you can study it. Go have a seat somewhere and start a study session.
While studying, you may over use the spell tome. Torn out pages, spill drinks on others, ... The spell tome may be unusable anymore!
If you have just finished a study session, you must rest a bit.
Some times you are more focused than others. If you are more focused you study the spell more efficiently.

Note: This is mostly intended for my personal use. I am not sure when or if I will update it.
Mechanics
Study Session
If you have a book, you can study it. Go have a seat somewhere and start a study session.
- For immersion, you cannot study in various conditions like combat.
- The efficiency of the study session scales with the complexity of the spell and your proficiency in it's school.
- You can study multiple spells in parallel, but only one per study session.
- There is a cooldown between sessions. (min 1 hour, max. 48 hours)
While studying, you may over use the spell tome. Torn out pages, spill drinks on others, ... The spell tome may be unusable anymore!
- A chance to lose the the spell tome after studying.
- The chance increases for longer study sessions.
- The chance increases for longer study sessions.
- After learning everything the spell tome has to offer you may decide to throw it away.
If you have just finished a study session, you must rest a bit.
- The exhaustion parameter scales with:
- Session duration: Longer sessions leads to more exhaustion.
- Spell complexity: More complex spells leads to more exhaustion.
- School Proficiency: More proficiency in the spell's school leads to less exhaustion.
- Sleeping reduces portion of the accumulated exhaustion.
- Increased exhaustion can give various debuffs:
- Increase study cooldown.
- Decrease focus
Some times you are more focused than others. If you are more focused you study the spell more efficiently.
- Your focus may slightly increase or decrease randomly.
- You focus better while sitting.
- You focus better when you are rested.
- You focus better if you learned a new spell recently
- You focus less if there are a lot of people around you.
- You focus less if you are studying multiple spells in parallel.
- You focus better if you focus your study on few spells.
- Your focus is affected by where you study:
- Some locations give various amounts of boosts to your focus. Classified under 3 tiered (lesser, minor and major).
- Some locations give various amounts of debuff to your focus. Classified under 3 tiered (lesser, minor and major).
- Inns count as lesser boost locations.
- Player houses count as minor boost locations.
- Hostile interiors count as major debuff locations.
- Warning! If you are too focused you get more exhausted.
- No compatibility patch required for new spell tomes added by other mods mods
- Does not touch any spell tome or spell records. So should be compatible with any mods that alter those records.
- This mod uses various keywords to do calculate the modifiers. It shouldn't be much of an issue compatibility wise though.
