~~~ Author's Note ~~~ I am not longer updating or bugfixing these mods, as they are fairly old. They are as is- use at your discretion.

Version 1.05

:: Minor Update from V 1.0 ::

Changed Max Amout of Runes a player can place to 3.


I tend to enjoy the Destruction school in TES games, but Skyrim dropped the ball for me. The damage was negligible by the end of the game, outside of the fact that you -could- spam cast, but you shouldn't have to! You should be able to summon the power of the gods to smite your foes!

To this end, I decided to overhaul the Destruction Perk Tree, and make it scale your magic damage, as well as increasing perks for Element Specific damage.

And yes, I do know there are a lot of Destruction Overhauls out there with damage scaling with level. Maybe even better than my own. But this is my take on it.


Changes:

::: <Rank> Destruction :::

I have made it so every rank in Destruction not only halves the magicka cost for spells of that rank, but also increases the overall damage of all spells. The skill level required to get the original perks remains unchanged.


Novice Destruction - Level 20:
Cast Novice level Destruction spells for half magicka.

Apprentice Destruction - Level 25:
Cast Apprentice level Destruction spells for half magicka. Destruction spell damage increased by 25%

Adept Destruction - Level 50:
Cast Adept level Destruction spells for half magicka. Destruction spell damage increased by 50%.

Expert Destruction - Level 75:
Cast Expert level Destruction spells for half magicka. Destruction spell damage increased by 75%.

Master Destruction - Level 100:
Cast Master level Destruction spells for half magicka. Destruction spell damage increased by 100%.


::: Augmented <Element> :::

I have added a third and fourth rank to each Augmented <Element> Perk, raising the damage bonus to 100% for each after putting 4 perks into them.

Augmented Flames III - Level 80:
Fire Spells do 75% more damage.

Augmented Flames IV - Level 100:
Fire Spells to 100% more damage.


Augmented Frost III - Level 80:
Frost Spells do 75% more damage.

Augmented Frost IV - Level 100:
Frost Spells do 100% more damage.


Augmented Shock III - Level 80:
Shock Spells do 75% more damage.

Augmented Shock IV - Level 100:
Shock Spells do 100% more damage.


::: Note :::

I have added the Rune spells and the Cloak spells into the augmented damage perks along with the <Rank> Destruction spells, so their damage will scale as well.

Outside of that, the damage is calculated a little differently than I had hoped. It actually quadruples the damage(not as bad as it sounds, 60 damage doubles to 120, then doubles to 240) if you have Master Destruction and 4/4 of Augmented <Element>. I will actually be leaving this, as it makes it so the spells actually do good damage at endgame, and because to fix it, I would most likely have to make one of the two worthless(i.e Once you get Master Destruction, Augmented <Element>s would be a waste of perks).
