_-=[ DESCRIPTION ]=-_

Arcane Archery, is now a separate mod taken from my mod Arcane Assassin as i am splitting it's contents up so its easier for people to have what they want instead of having some things that they didn't need.
You can now find these spells being sold at the Riverwood Trader

All bows benefit from the Soul Stealer Perk, and Critical Shot from the Archery Tree which will produce a bigger explosion

Spell resists now halve the damage by the percentage of the targets Resist Value, allowing you to use Weakness Poisons to benifit for more Damage.

Fire Resist (50) = 50% of the fire damage will be halved

_-=[ DAMAGE SCALING ]=-_

Scaling of the arcane bows are based on your level and destruction skill (Base Value, not modified value that are increased via Enchantments)

Base Damage is 8 for every spell effect (Equivalent to the Damage of a Iron Arrow)

The following example of the damage scaling Fire Bow with no Fire Resist on the target
Player Level (1) = 0 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (15) = 2.25 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (0) = 0
Total = (8 + (0 + 2.25)) = 10.25

Player Level (1) = 0 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (100) = 15 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (0) = 0
Total = (8 + (0 + 15)) = 23

Player Level (50) = 25 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (15) = 2.25 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (0) = 0
Total = (8 + (25 + 2.25)) = 35.25

Player Level (50) = 25 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (100) = 15 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (0) = 0
Total = (8 + (25 + 15)) = 48

The following example of the damage scaling Fire Bow with Fire Resist on the target
Player Level (1) = 0 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (15) = 2.25 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (50) = 0.5
Total = (8 + (0 + 2.25)) * 0.5 = 5.125

Player Level (1) = 0 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (100) = 15 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (50) = 0.5
Total = (8 + (0 + 15)) * 0.5 = 11.5

Player Level (50) = 25 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (15) = 2.25 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (50) = 0.5
Total = (8 + (25 + 2.25)) * 0.5 = 17.625

Player Level (50) = 25 Damage Increased
Destruction Level (100) = 15 Damage Increase
Fire Resist (50) = 0.5
Total = (8 + (25 + 15)) * 0.5 = 24

_-=[ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ]=-_


Q: These bows seem different than the one established in your mod Arcane Assassin
A: This mod was re-written from the ground up

Q: Are the arrows Physical Damage like normal Arrows
A: Pure elemental / poison damage, so they can be resisted

Q: I got Critical Shot perk, i am receiving critical strike but no big explosion effect
A: As the arrows are not physical damage like normal arrows, the chance to receive a critical strike is different than the normal arrows. But the Random Chance still applies to the Arcane Arrows just those two are not globally shared when it occurs

Q: Will you add more bows?
A: Yeah i can, just leave your ideas in the comment section

Q: Target says it resisted but it still damaged the target
A: Base damage was Resisted, the rest of the damage was halved

Q: Are there any mods that conflict with Arcane Archery
A: Spell Sneak Attacks is so far been reported to conflict
