Overview
Mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to randomly equip one (1) fire / flame aura to a curated group of fire mage NPCs. Mod randomly distributes auras to fire mage NPCs in the following factions:
- Fire Mages (ALL: novice, apprentice, adept, mage, wizard, pyromancer, arch)
- Fire Mage Bosses (ALL: apprentice, adept, mage, wizard, pyromancer)
- Forsworn Shamans, Foragers, Looters, Briarhearts (those who primarily use fire spells)
- A curated selection of named fire mage NPCs - See Article (possible spoilers)
All groups can be mixed, matched, increased, reduced even disabled in the _DISTR.ini. In fact, you can re-configure the mod to distribute auras to any NPC and / or any group of NPCs that you wish! Random distribution will always be based on nine (9) fire / flame auras no matter how distribution is configured (e.g., female, male, level, faction, voicetype, etc.).
Mod randomly distributes one (1) of a possible nine (9) fire / flame auras to fire mage NPCs.
- Main mod distributes auras that trigger when NPCs are engaged in combat.
- Optional mod distributes persistent or constant auras. Auras are always on in this version.
- Auras are animated.
- Both mods are purely cosmetic. Auras provide no buffs, nerfs, enchantments, benefits, etc. Visual effect only.
- Pick one file to use.
Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods.
- Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) does not edit levelled lists, and does not modify or generate new records.
- Body slots, however, are not compatible. Choose wisely, or edit the body slot. I will not alter body slots.
Installation and Uninstallation
Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that SPID will not impact save games in any way. Safe to uninstall at anytime.
Configuration
Huge number of configuration options available. Please see Article for more information.
Caveats
- Pick one (1) file. No. One.
- Images are for illustration purposes only. Your fire mage NPCs will receive a random fire / flame aura.
- Auras may behave differently or look different depending on setup (e.g., robes, skin textures, etc.).
