THIS IS THE SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION VERSION OF THE SHARINGAN POWERS MOD, AND IT WILL NOT WORK WITH REGULAR SKYRIM. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE REGULAR SKYRIM VERSION OF THIS MOD, PLEASE FIND IT AT THIS LINK: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27387/?
THIS IS A DIRECT CONVERSION OF THE ORIGINAL MOD, AND AS SUCH CONTAINS ALL THE SAME FUNCTIONALITY (AND GLITCHES) AS THE FINAL VERSION 2.4 OF THE ORIGINAL MOD. I HAVE FOUND A COUPLE OF NEW MINOR ISSUES CAUSED BY THE CHANGE IN NIF FORMAT AND GAME ENGINE OF THE SKYRIM SPECIAL EDITION. THEY'RE LISTED BELOW UNDER THE KNOWN ISSUES SECTION. PLEASE READ THEM BEFORE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS. I WILL NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION IF IT'S LISTED BELOW AS A KNOWN ISSUE.
As suggested, this mod will add new abilities to Skyrim. Fans of the Naruto series will definitely recognize these abilities. All abilities can be added by going to Mzulft, which becomes accessible only during the mages guild quest line. Shortly into Mzulft, there is a door tucked into a corner on your right, at the top of a ramp. Entering the door should bring you into a small room with a dwemer button. Press this button to gain access to all abilities. When testing, it was sometimes necessary to press the button 3 or 4 times before the abilities were added. Currently, the mod adds:
Sharingan – Basic ability of this MOD: consists of Night Vision, Detect Life, and a subtle slow time effect. If playing without the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan turned on, using mangekyou abilities (Amaterasu, Tsukoyomi, Susanoo, etc) will cause the effectiveness of this ability to diminish over time. First, the slow time effect will disappear, which probably won’t be very noticeable. Next, the Night Vision will no longer function. And finally, there will be a vision blurring effect for as long as sharingan is enabled. For those who don’t wish to use the Eternal Mangekyou, toggling the switch on and then back off will reset the sharingan to its basic function. While this ability is active, the player will lose 20 Magicka and Stamina per second. Cast ability again while active to disable it.
Amaterasu – Lesser power that engulfs the target in black flames which burn until only ash is left, causing them to panic and flee like a little girl as they burn. Without Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan active, each use will cause a temporary vision blur as well as degrade the effectiveness of the basic sharingan spell. This ability will cost half of the player’s maximum Magicka and Stamina to cast.
Tsukoyomi – Lesser power which will instantly paralyze the target for 10 seconds. There is no way to resist paralysis, however targets marked as immune to paralysis still won’t be affected. During the paralysis, the enemy will lose 30 points of magicka and stamina each second. Without Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan active, each use will cause a temporary vision blur as well as degrade the effectiveness of the basic sharingan spell. This ability will cost half of the player’s maximum Magicka and Stamina to cast.
Susanoo – Lesser power that surrounds the caster with purple flames, protecting them from all damage until disabled. Caster is unable to move or attack while surrounded by this effect. Without Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan active, each use will cause a temporary vision blur as well as degrade the effectiveness of the basic sharingan spell. While this ability is active, the player will lose 10 Magicka and Stamina per second but will also heal by that amount each second. Cast ability again while active to disable it.
Kamui – This ability will make the caster incorporeal for 5 seconds, causing any attacks against the caster to pass straight through without causing damage. The caster can attack while this ability is active, but it will cause this ability to end immediately. Without Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan active, each use will cause a temporary vision blur as well as degrade the effectiveness of the basic sharingan spell. This spell will cost 20% of the player’s maximum Magicka and Stamina to cast.
Kamui(Warp) –When casting this ability on an enemy, you will receive a menu prompting where to send the enemy. You will have the choice of putting them in 1 of 4 containment cells, or sending them into the void. Putting them into a cell will result in their being accessible via the Dungeons within the Jikukan home area, however sending them into the void will cause them to be gone forever. This ability cannot be used against Dragons, Mammoths, and Giants. Without Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan active, each use will cause a temporary vision blur as well as degrade the effectiveness of the basic sharingan spell. It will cost half of the player’s maximum Magicka and Stamina to cast this spell.
Kamui(Teleport) – Teleports the player to a fully usable home, complete with a housekeeper/merchant, all crafting stations, extensive storage, weapon/armor displays, vault, dungeon access, dragon priest mask racks, and black book displays. Home also includes a central teleport pad and buttons to set teleport destinations; all cities and each faction from Dawnguard DLC are available for teleport. Since Dawnguard isn’t required for this MOD, faction teleport destinations are approximated as closely as possible to grant access to each. Fast travelling from the home is available, so any map markers found throughout Tamriel should be accessible as well. Home is fully navmeshed for NPC use, however the only NPC able to access these areas is the housekeeper since the teleport ability is the only way into this cell. Also, in addition to the standard home decorations, there is a special teleport pad on the upper level. Using the upper pad will enable you to reach a special area where you can upgrade one of your Sharingan Powers (you will also need three special keys hidden throughout the player home to access the power upgrade area), or enable/disable the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. You will need 4 Centurion Dynamo cores for each time you want to access the upgrade area. If you use the teleport ability while in any of the home areas, you will immediately be returned to wherever you were standing when you teleported into the player home.
All of the spells have a sharingan activation sound from the series when they hit the target, although it’s not a high quality one. For the spells that toggle on and off when used, toggling off the spell will cause the standard sharingan ending sound to play.
Kotoamatsukami – Puts the target under a genjutsu illusion, turning them into an unwitting follower that will assist you in combat. Due to differences in their brain chemistry: Giants, Mammoths, Dragons, and Dragonborn (cough...Miraak) are unaffected by this spell. Casting this on a target that is already under its effect will allow you to either release them, or to toggle their Follow/Wait here options. You may only have this spell active on one NPC at a time. Casting it on a different NPC will cause the first follower to return to their original location in the game, and will cause the new NPC to follow you instead.
Future Plans for this MOD
None. Sadly, I’ve shifted interests from modding Skyrim and have moved onto other games. I’d originally planned to re-release this MOD with a fully function dwemer city and questline, however I’ve abandoned those ideas. Short of fixing any bugs not listed in the “Known Bugs” section, I will no longer make changes to this MOD. If anyone would like to take over future development of this MOD, simply ask me. Most of the dwemer city is actually built already, although it’s lacking NPCs and there is no way into it without using the console.
Any feedback is welcome. Whether it’s to compliment the spell effects, or even if it’s just to tell me how I messed something up with one of the abilities. If you want to request a specific spell be added, just let me know which one. I can’t promise I’ll definitely be able to do it, but I’ll try my best to accommodate.
Known Bugs
In Skyrim Special Edition, the formatting of the 3d NIF files was changed. Due to this, the ribcage visual for the Susanoo seems to be broken. The spell itself and purple flames work fine, but the ribcage only works intermittently. I attempted to fix this, but it seems to be due to an error in the NIF file itself - even after I ran it through the program to optimize it for SE. If anyone with more knowledge of NIF file editing wants to take a crack at fixing this, go right ahead. If you can get it to a working state and are willing to share your work with everyone else, please let me know. I'll release a new version of the mod with an updated NIF, giving you full credit for your work in fixing this issue.
Also, while testing, I noticed that the sharingan upgrade room NIF seems to reset itself every time you exit it. I'm guessing this is due to the NIF file format change with SE, or possibly due to the change in the game engine itself. This won't be a real problem, unless you forget to grab all three access cubes BEFORE you leave the room. If you forget to grab them and leave the room, the room will reset and the cubes will probably be gone. If you leave and lose them, you can use the console to add them back to your inventory, but it's easier to just grab them on your way out. The player home has ample storage options to choose from, so just grab them and store them in the home for quick access.
When casting Susanoo, it's possible you may still be affected by knockback effects. This can cause you to be pushed out of the susanoo animation. Simply turn it off and back on again to make it appear around you.
Standing in puddles of fire/ice/etc. with Susanoo active still hurts you. DO NOT stand in fire. I'm not fixing this. You deserve it for standing in fire!
If you travel into another area while one of the toggle spells are active, it will cancel the spell. This is part of the game engine and perfectly normal. However, when you cast the ability again to enable it, it will behave as though it’s already active. After the first cast, though, it will sync itself back up and function normally again.
If you cast Amaterasu onto an enemy and they flee into another area through a load door, it will cancel the Amaterasu effect on them. They will immediately come back to fight you again. Since the game engine removes active magic effects when travelling between cells, there is nothing that can be done to fix this. However, using the upgraded Amaterasu will cause them to almost always get the effect back when they re-enter the area, since it will usually drop a ground flame on their exit/entry point.
When I tested using the upgrade room to upgrade Kotoamatsukami, I kept getting a CTD. I was able to get around this by starting a new game, so I think it's something saved into existing savegames that used this MOD before Kotoamatsukami was added. You can either start a new save, or open the console and type Set UchihaUpgradedPower to 43. This will set Kotoamatsukami as upgraded without needing to use the upgrade room, thus avoiding the CTD issue. All other spells are confirmed upgradable without a new save/console command.
Kotoamatsukami(PLEASE READ)- Not all NPCs in Skyrim are designed for combat. The spell will tweak their settings to prevent them from fleeing as soon as the fight starts, but that doesn't necessarily make them useful in a fight. Some NPCs are simply too weak to be effective in a fight. Also, since this spell actually creates a copy of the original NPC, it's possible the copy may not be exactly the same as the original. For example, when used on a bandit/stormcloak/imperial NPC, the copy may be a different gender, have a slightly different appearance, or possibly even have a very different fighting style than the original. Also, trolls, bears, ice wraiths, and wolves all seem to spawn from the same basic creature, so casting this spell on one type may actually result in you getting a follower of a different kind. The only way around this would be to not create the copy, and have the original NPC follow you instead. This is entirely possible, but not a useful option since it could break the game by altering NPCs default settings.
FAQS
Why don’t Khajiit and Argonian have glowing eyes?
Because I hate cats and lizards! But seriously, the vanilla Skyrim eye meshes don’t support glow effects, despite the CK giving the option to add them. By looking at what was done in a separate glowing eyes mod, I was able to figure out how to make them for other races. No luck with Argonian/Khajiit though.
What if I don’t want glowing eyes?
Use MOD version 2.31. It was the last version I released before putting in the glowing eyes. Or you could use version 2.4 and just play as an Argonian or Khajiit.
Will susanoo be changed to allow movement in the future?
Possibly, but unlikely. This spell has always been a bit OP, and I think this balances it quite nicely. Also, my ability to create custom meshes is extremely limited. Allowing movement would require me to be able to attach the entire mesh onto the player so it would move with them. That's something that I've been entirely unable to do until this point. Given the limited time I'm devoting to modding, it's unlikely I'll suddenly be able to do it.
How do I upgrade one of my sharingan abilities?
First, complete my hide and seek challenge to find all three keys that unlock the upgrade room. Use the upper teleport pad (the one that requires 4 dynamo cores to use) to teleport to the upgrade room. Place each key in its appropriate pedestal, then use the dwemer button to gain access to the upgrade tome. Use the upgrade tome to select which ability to upgrade. It will tell you what each upgrade will do and ask for confirmation if you click on them. There’s also an option to revert all powers to default, in case you don’t like any of the upgrades.
Where are the keys to upgrade sharingan abilities hidden?
Look around and find them. I didn’t make them particularly hard to find. I will say that they’re all hidden within the player home. There’s 1 in the main area, 1 in the dungeons, and 1 in the lower levels. Take your time and look for small cubes.
Vision damage/Sharingan deterioration is on, and I don’t want it! How do I turn it off?
To disable the vision damaging effect, use the upper level teleport pad in the player home. You will need to spend 4 Centurion Dynamo Cores in order to power the teleport pad and reach this area. When you arrive, turn right and flip the dwemer lever on the wall up. This will add the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, disabling the vision damage and basic sharingan deterioration.
I’ve changed my mind because I don’t know what I want. How do I turn vision damage back on?
Follow the same procedure outlined above to remove vision damage, except flip the switch down instead.
I don't like that obtaining these spells is tied into the mages guild quest line. Will you change this?
This mod was originally intended to be much, much more ambitious. It was originally to have it's own story line that tied the Sharingan abilities into Elder Scrolls lore via use of dwemer technology, custom areas, NPCs, dialogue, and a lengthy quest line culminating in an overpowered final boss that would challenge a Skyrim player of any skill level. In short, it was meant to be on the same scale as Helgen Reborn or Moonpath to Elsweyr. Obviously, these ideas were a bit much for a newbie modder to achieve on his own, and I ended up deciding to focus solely on the actual spells and eye textures. Before I realized just how far out of my depth I was, I had made a design choice to kick off the quest line by stumbling upon it on your previously scheduled visit to Mzulft as part of the mages guild quest line. It makes all the sense in the world that such powerful magical abilities would be woven into the main mages quest line. So, no, this won't be changed. I may not have had nearly enough skill to follow through on all my ideas, but leaving this as-is serves as a nod to the original intent of this mod. If it really bothers you that much, there is another option listed just below to obtain these spells via use of the console.
How do I quickly get access to all the Sharingan abilities?
Open the console and type COC SharinganPowerRoom. You'll be taken straight to the button which adds all the abilities. IMPORTANT: If you haven't completed the Mages guild quest that takes you into Mzulft, I'd recommend using either fast travel or Kamui(Teleport) to exit the area after you get the abilities. Also, you can come back to this room at any point in order to add any new abilities I put into the MOD.
Compatibility
You must have Skyrim Special Edition installed with the latest game update for this mod to work. Aside from that, the only potential incompatibility issue I could see would be a mod that happens to alter the same space at the top of the ramp in Mzulft. That’s unlikely to happen since I picked a kind of random spot to insert the door into the room. However, even if it did, the spells could still be added via the player.addspell console command.

I may not have had nearly enough skill to follow through on all my ideas, but leaving this as-is serves as a nod to the original intent of this mod. If it really bothers you that much, there is another option listed just below to obtain these spells via use of the console.
How do I quickly get access to all the Sharingan abilities?
Open the console and type COC SharinganPowerRoom. You'll be taken straight to the button which adds all the abilities. IMPORTANT: If you haven't completed the Mages guild quest that takes you into Mzulft, I'd recommend using either fast travel or Kamui(Teleport) to exit the area after you get the abilities. Also, you can come back to this room at any point in order to add any new abilities I put into the MOD.
Compatibility
You must have Skyrim Special Edition installed with the latest game update for this mod to work. Aside from that, the only potential incompatibility issue I could see would be a mod that happens to alter the same space at the top of the ramp in Mzulft. That’s unlikely to happen since I picked a kind of random spot to insert the door into the room. However, even if it did, the spells could still be added via the player.addspell console command.

Feel free to use part, or all, of the info from this MOD in any way you see fit, but please give me credit for anything you borrow.

All the people using my MOD who contributed with idea on the comments page. I realize I didn’t use a lot of them, but they were all heard loud and clear. If nothing else, the ideas contributed did help me get the MOD to this point by challenging me to keep pushing further.
