Overview
Mod utilizes a small script that runs once (at game initialization) to randomly equip one (1) ice aura to a curated group of ice mage NPCs. Mod randomly distributes auras to ice mage NPCs in the following factions:
- Ice Mages (ALL: novice, apprentice, adept, mage, wizard, cryomancer, arch)
- Ice Mage Bosses (ALL: apprentice, adept, mage, wizard, cryomancer)
- Forsworn Pillagers, Ravagers, and Briarheart Ice Shamans (those who primarily use ice spells)
- Two (2) named ice 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 six (6) ice auras no matter how distribution is configured (e.g., female, male, level, faction, voicetype, etc.).
Mod randomly distributes one (1) of a possible six (6) ice auras to ice 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. Just one. No. One.
- Images are for illustration purposes only. Your ice mage NPCs will receive a random ice aura.
- Auras may behave differently or look different depending on setup (e.g., robes, skin textures, etc.).
