Does this mod have equivelent effects on NPC destruction magic?
I have noticed mid-way through the game (level 26) that some medium/higher level mages (that die still very quickly in melee, so they aren't boss-level) will sometimes do damage with adept level spells that kill me in seconds, and can even two-hit me (one spell in each hand) with expert level skills, even though I have 300 heath. These NPCs will sometimes seem like normal or 'normal+1' enemies in every respect of their durability and melee, but when they start casting spells i will drop dead out of nowhere before I can react when seconds prior i was breezing through them. I too am playing on expert.
If it is the case that this mod buffs NPC destruction magic in the same way as the player, I can tolerate that; I'll just need to adjust my equipment and strategy to protect more against magic. But I really just would like to know if this is the case or just my imagination.

You're right, it isn't your mod-there was a conflict, and it's fixed. Thanks.
Rangasoup  [author] 22 May, 2015 @ 5:53pm 
The last time I updated this was 3 years ago, I don't think this is my mod, but there might be some weird confliction.
astastny 21 May, 2015 @ 5:43pm 
Is there any chance that this mod could make all destruction spells free by mistake? I started a new game and encountered this-I have no other mods affecting magic enabled.
MM 11 Mar, 2015 @ 4:43pm 
Can i use this with TheThirdRace Skill Overhaul ??
Btw nice mod
ZephyrLuxx 2 Mar, 2015 @ 8:00am 
Thank you! You saved my wizard from certain deletion. :)
Rangasoup  [author] 28 Feb, 2015 @ 3:18pm 
There should be no conflictions. And I haven't used midas magic myself but as long as the magic is destruction magic it should be altered by this mod.
drpep007 28 Feb, 2015 @ 3:02pm 
does this work with midas magic? or will it mess it up?
Rangasoup  [author] 4 Jan, 2015 @ 4:24pm 
They should be affected
Fierce Deity Fable 3 Jan, 2015 @ 4:14am 
How does this mod effect Runes? I've been wanting to forever play a rune based character, but you can only place one at a time, and sadly they are flat set to 50 damage.
Rangasoup  [author] 29 Nov, 2014 @ 5:06pm 
This does affect dual casting. And thank you everyone that has commented supporting the mod!
Baby_Alien 29 Nov, 2014 @ 1:26am 
brilliant, excactly the mod I've been looking for, I appreciate that this one aims to balance the destruction magic, rather than just making it overpowered as far too many mods seems to do
Tiberyn 27 Nov, 2014 @ 11:41pm 
Does this not effect dual casting? I don't use impact and would
maD 16 Nov, 2014 @ 12:32pm 
thanks, nice mod
deruzejaku 11 Jul, 2014 @ 7:52am 
Just remove posibility to 100% decrase magica cost of spells, that would preety much do the trick xD While also leaving that mod as it is it would become not only more realistic destruction like in mod (and more logical), but also add, a need to fight with certain tactics, cause mana would end at times hehe.
Shadus 21 Jun, 2014 @ 6:56pm 
I use this except for on the nexus because mods are better there.
sgtwinkler 10 May, 2014 @ 7:20pm 
This has been needed desperately! Props!
Pr.Jitterskull - best bug fixer 2 Mar, 2014 @ 3:19pm 
so let's say if I had the spell that does 100 damage and with level 77 desctruction I would just do 177 damage? Doesn't really improve the magic really, even though I wish to know how to do it, so I would adjust the magic balance to myself. And not just destruction, but alteration and other too.
Rangasoup  [author] 20 Dec, 2013 @ 3:23pm 
I'm not exactly working on this mod anymore but if i get back into it i will. Could you use one of those mods you described alongside mine in the meantime? And thank you for the support!
Fat Traveler 16 Dec, 2013 @ 8:53am 
Now i know there are other mods that do this, thats all this mod really needs to be fully complete. Not that it needs it at all because this is an excellent mod.
Fat Traveler 16 Dec, 2013 @ 8:52am 
Thank you, and this is a great mod and I am not trying to tell you what to do because I know that modding is hard work, but on the topic of runes would you be able to make it so that the runes benefit form the augmented perks and the disintergrate, deep freeze etc perks
Rangasoup  [author] 12 Dec, 2013 @ 1:26pm 
Yes
Fat Traveler 12 Dec, 2013 @ 6:28am 
Does this affect runes
Rangasoup  [author] 11 Dec, 2013 @ 7:56pm 
Yes
GilleyThaKid 11 Dec, 2013 @ 7:51pm 
Yea is this compatible with the Midas Magic mod??
WightKing 22 Nov, 2013 @ 10:39am 
I'm playing on legendary, with the Duel Combat Realism mod, and all of my characters have one life, so if they die even once, I start a new one (Skyrim was too boring and easy, I needed a challenge) However, whenever I try to make a mage, I never make it past level 10, because I Destruction sucks and doesn't hurt anyone, and other mages can hit me with a 200 damage lightning bolt. I've been looking for a mod to help make destruction stronger without overpowering it and this mod does a pretty decent job. Thanks :)
$rilik0 7 Aug, 2013 @ 5:00pm 
Is this Compatable with Midas Magic, or any other maigc altering/additon mod?
Horagen81 16 Jul, 2013 @ 5:37am

press the "Subscribe" then it will automatic download and apply the mod

How do I download from the workshop?
Rangasoup  [author] 27 Mar, 2013 @ 3:18pm 
No reason it shouldn't
Prince Sue 27 Mar, 2013 @ 5:39am 
If i use this on an old save file will it still work
Arty 8 Mar, 2013 @ 4:49pm 
Great mod btw :)
Arty 8 Mar, 2013 @ 4:48pm 
If you guna play mage then make the most of the magic schools. I play heavy armour dual wielding mainly with a bit of destruction and conjuration on the side. With the new 1.9 Update you'll be able to do everything!
randy.parsons 5 Feb, 2013 @ 1:59pm 
Trystanwellman, its not so much that Destruction is a bad way to go, just that other methods, bow, or sword along with smithing and enchanting are very overpowered. resistant monsters(dragons), having to aim, low magicka pool (mostly at lower levels), are all disadvantages to destruction magic. At say level 40 a decent warrior can dispatch a dragon quickly, while the mage has to cast over and over again. Also lightning can drain your magicka.
キングゴリラ 22 Jan, 2013 @ 2:36am 
Can you make it like all spells will evolve a bit when you reach higher level? being high lvl is so dull for a mage.
Rangasoup  [author] 3 Dec, 2012 @ 11:48pm 
Honestly I don't need this mod either. I made it to learn my way around with the Creation Kit and to help out the people who feel magic to be underpowered.
Callidous 2 Dec, 2012 @ 10:02pm 
Honestly I don't see the need. I play a pure mage on Master with destruction being my primary, and I'm literally invincible. 85% magic resist, 80% physical resist and fireballs that just slaughter people. And yes I played master all the way from the beginning until now, and I've never once thought that destruction needed a bonus. Good on you for making a mod to help, but could you explain to me your reasoning for making it? I'm honestly curious.
khajiit has wares in hdr 4 Sep, 2012 @ 10:46pm 
If you do get Dawnguard, could you make all the Dawnguard changes a separate mod? I don't want to have to buy a DLC just to enable a mod.
randy.parsons 2 Sep, 2012 @ 1:59pm 
He meant Destruction level. Nothing in the mod seems to take into account player level. But it does seem to be on par with melee. If you enchant and smith maybe melee will still be more powerful though.
Zenos4 1 Sep, 2012 @ 2:08pm 
your example. If you say "you are level 69" , do you mean the players level or the level of my destruction?
Erior 22 Aug, 2012 @ 8:13am 
You should do the same with healing and damaging Restoration spells, in my opinion. Hope you get Dawnguard soon, and you look up what isn't working with Vampiric Drain.
Jabber 15 Aug, 2012 @ 12:59pm 
Is this mod compatible with MIdas Magic?
Rangasoup  [author] 10 Aug, 2012 @ 12:05pm 
@randy.parsons
You bring up good points, and personally I like it the way it is, so I'll leave it for now. If someone has a problem with it then they can make their own damn mod. Like I did, there was no overhaul mod I liked so I took it into my own hands.
@Aetrion
As soon as I get dawngaurd then I can start fixing things up, sorry for the inconvenience.
