We all know that, unfortunately, Skyrim punishes high-level destruction magic users. The spells simply don't scale well (if at all), and ultimately most people simply accept that enchanted weapons are the only way to really master end-game leveled characters.

I was very happy when I found Alex's Destruction Spells - Powerful Flames Frostbite and Shock by AngryKarakuri, because it made what I feel are the three best all-around destruction spells (Flames, Frostbite, and Shock) actually useful for non-beginner characters. These spells are the tits, frankly speaking, but are basically worthless once you start actually leveling.

This mod is an add-on ESP-Lite for Alex's Destruction Spells. His mod is required, this mod only modifies the damage of the spells.

Per his mod's description:

[Alex's Mod] adds 3 new spells to the game which are the basic Flames, Frostbite and Shock but instead of making 8 damage, they do 50 damage per second now. They are also now Adept Spells, the cost is more or less 125 magicka per second, and you can buy them from Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach (Whiterun) or pick them up on a shelf in his room where the Alchemy Table and Enchanting Table stands.

Specifically, all this mod does is change the power of these spells from 50 damage/sec to either 100 or 150 damage/sec, respectively. This makes these spells useful even for very high level characters (again, I am level 151 and 100 in destruction, and with the relevant perks that means the 150-power one does 225 damage/sec, which is basically right in line w/ my 100-smithing/enchanting melee weapons, thus equalizing the playing field for mages).

Obviously, if you are not a high-level character, these spells will be overpowered. That's on you to use responsibly!!


INSTALLATION:
(1) Download and install Alex's Destruction Spells - Powerful Flames Frostbite and Shock
(2) Download EITHER (NOT BOTH) the 100 damage/sec OR 150 damage/sec ESPs (they are ESL-flagged so will not take up any plugin slots)
(3) Enable both Alex's mod and mine (mine after Alex's, of course)
(4) Enjoy having destruction spells that can actually do something!!


COMPATABILITY:
Should be compatible with any/all mods, as Alex's mod adds 3 NEW flames/frostbite/shock spells, and is not modifying the vanilla ones. I use this with multiple magic overhaul mods (Apocalypse, Mysticism, etc.) and all play lovely together.

A big thank you to AngryKarakuri for making his mod in the first place, and giving me permission to post this mod. It's my first mod (I'm only playing skyrim for the first time and already have over 825 mods running thanks to all you guys), so please enjoy it!!
