About this mod
Replaces the in-hand vfx for water spells like those added by Elemental Destruction Magic.

- Permissions and credits
I was always underwhelmed with the default effect for having a water spell equipped in Elemental Destruction Magic or Elemental Destruction Magic Redux, so I decided to take a crack at re-doing the effect. This turned out to be a slightly more involved process than I originally expected, so I decided to upload my mod to save anyone else the trouble if they were also unsatisfied with the default effect.
The new effect is essentially a recolored version of the calm/fear spells from the vanilla game. I thought that the pattern of motion present in those meshes could be interpreted as flowing tendrils of water and I'm overall really happy with the way it came out!
Installation
Compatibility
All this mod does is replace waterfxhand01.nif and add a new gradient texture for the mesh, thus it will overwrite the hand effect of any mod using that same naming convention. This wont cause any bugs but it will cause these other mods to use my hand effects. So far these are the mods I've noticed that use this same naming convention:
To be clear: this mod does not add any spells, it requires at least one mod using waterfxhand01.nif in order for the effect to appear in-game!
