GreyLight - The Soul-Summoning Mod

Description
BRIEF: Ever wanted to steal a soul and have it serve you? This mod involves travelling Skyrim, slaying creatures and capturing their souls. You will then be able to summon that creature's soul to aid you in battle.

NOTE: If you are having trouble with summoning multiple ghosts at once, try this mod instead: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=660296083

Greetings Steamers! Its been a long time since I have published a mod, but I am back and kicking with one of my longest developed mods. I have been working on this mod for a long time as an on/off progect, but now I think it is finally complete enough to present to you.


As the breif suggested, this mod is about slaying a creature, stealing its souls and then summoning it in battle. This is done through a new and unique crafting station. You use the soul gem with the creatures soul in it, an article or item that creature is associated with (ie a wolf pelt for a wolf), and a ruined book and you will be able to craft a spell tome which will teach you a spell to summon the soul of that creature. Pretty cool right? This works for virtually every creature in Skyrim!

Here is a precise list of each and every creature that is summonable: Note: these catagories dont actually mean anything, I just did it this way for ease of reading

Bear
Cave Bear
Snow Bear
Chaurus
Chaurus Reaper
Frostbite Spider

A good place to start is a location called Grey's Rest. Here you will find the Soul Fire crafting pot as well as some books and supplies that will come in handy. This new locatio has its own fast travel marker for ease of acess.

In addition to all of the craftable spell tomes, two more summonable creatures make an appearance. Slaughter makes a return from the mod 'Spectral Sumons' and is accompanied by Stride, a very fast spectral horse. Both of these companions are summoned through lesser powers which occupy the 'voice' slot. Thier tomes are found at Grey's Rest.

One last important thing I forgot to mention! All of the summonable creatures level as you do. Which means that you can use your favourite creature and not worry about it being not as strong as the others.

Make sure you watch the video above! It took me ages to make XD

Everytime I discover "Grey's Rest" my game crashes hard any ideas as to why?

can you only summon whatever you soul trap at the forge here once or is it multiple times?

Can play like the Necromancer from Diablo II now hahaha! Thank you for this mod. Works really well with Summon More.

Well, today it has the mod name now "Greylight-FIXED," so I guess it was just a one-time thing.

Oh really? Thats super random. Probbably has something to do with the updating problem, lol. At least its working.

Aye no worries mate, glad to have helped.

The file name is blank, LOL. It shows up in my data files as... nothing, with a check box next to it. It works fine so I don't think it's a problem, but I wanted to let you know.
Wow, I just tried this new one and it is AMAZING. I only had one summon available so my testing is limited, but I can confirm that at least for the bear summon, Apprentice Conjuration correctly reduces casting cost, Conjuration Dual Casting correctly doubles duration, and Twin Souls allows two summons.
In my testing, Summoner didn't increase the range of the summons, but that's not really an issue since the base range is so long already. My testing was rather unscientific anyway, so maybe I am wrong. I had totally forgotten about dual casting, so the inability to increase the duration with atromancy/necromancy is not so sad.
This is still far above and beyond what I was hoping for when I posted originally. You are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make a random internet stranger super happy.

Oh ok, I see. Thanks for the update, the link works for me now. It's a little sad that the perks that increase duration won't work, but I can understand the programming problem. Even just having twin souls is fantastic. I am looking forward to trying this out.
Thanks again.
