My master spells cost 0 when im at 100. Thats a little overkill.

To those that may still want to know, this does work with Special Edition. I just dropped the "arch-mage.esp" into my Data folder and it works just like it did in Oldrim. Unfortunately, it looks like the Adept Resto is still an issue, unfortunately, but this is still a great mod for my uses.

I love the mod, but it gets a little OP in the end-game because all spells become basically free at 100.. if it weren't for that, this mod would be perfect. The buffs were very much needed, just that the magicka reduction is a tad overkill

Can you please make this mod available also for Special Edition? ;)

Makes mages a little bit OP. But it's a cool idea!

Wondered if you could upload this for the SE, this mod is great I cant play as a mage without it anymore. it really balances the game out and makes magic a substanstial force, especially at the higher levels where our imaginations tell us it should be absolutely devastating, this mod delivers that.

Will this awesome mod be added to the Special Edition or can i simply copy paste its contents?
Neosuduno 1 Dec, 2016 @ 10:18am 
would love to see this in the special edition. Would make playing a mage character much more worthwhile.

does this make it possible to cast spells for free?

This mod has transformed the game for the better and got me back into playing Skyrim as a mage :P
Moriaritus 6 Sep, 2015 @ 1:30pm 
I've noticed Adept Restoration spells don't become free when I have 100 Restoration and all of the cost reduction perks.. All the other level spells do, "Master, novice, etc," hopefully it's not just me.

Данній мод очень нужен тем, кто прокачивает магию. Не вносит дисбаланс, радует уроном и возможностями. Рекомендую.

I have been looking for a good mod that will make the magic of skyrim worth using and i got it here in spades. this mod alllows a player to play higher levels of difficulty while using magic, and at the same time it keeps your character balanced. this is a great mod THANKS!
MarehGul 27 Jan, 2015 @ 11:44pm 
После установки обнаружил на одном из персонажей, стоимость заклинаний разрушения имеют нулевую стоимость. Навык 100, перки на -50% стоимости взяты, но нет никаких чарок на уменьшение стоимости.
Не знаю может ли быть здесь замешан тот мод.
:falkwreath:
Wex 28 Dec, 2014 @ 5:01pm 
Yeah DAC agrees. I like the part of the "infinite Magicka at Mastery" thing. It's like a reward for completing a skill tree. But the increased damage makes it too powerful.
Vampire Woona 1 Nov, 2014 @ 6:35am 
flame wall in those last two sentences... ugh
Vampire Woona 1 Nov, 2014 @ 6:33am 
anyone else using this mod notice flames addin a three second long flame wall type effect on anything made of wood? trying to figure out whats causing it... it still smoulders out like normal on stone and dirt, but if i shoot a house or a training dummy i get shield wall and i dont like it. flames shouldt be doing that. only shield wall should.
McBam 9 Oct, 2014 @ 4:20pm 
Makes being a mage more fun late game but when you hit 100 in that school and get the mastery perk then it seems a little bit broken - no mana cost for any spell in that school. Would be better if it was maybe only 0.5% reduction per level, then at least you would have to use enchanted items to get mana-less casting. Other than that is a great mod, actually one of the few reasons I use this workshop and haven't entirely moved over to NMM as it allows you to use spells other than firebolt :InjusticeCatwoman:
zergvsgenin 20 Aug, 2014 @ 7:17am 
This doesn't affect enemy mages, does it? Most of the time, they're troublesome enough already even on lower difficulties (I'm looking at you, bullshit Lighting Bolts).
SombraDeOnca 24 Jul, 2014 @ 6:46pm 
Thanks for this mod, even if it is a tad OP it's still better than the weak powers I had once I passed lvl 40. I had to struggle thru several attempts to complete some of the solo quests. I like a challenge but I also like to be able to finish a solo quest without having to repeat it several times.
Vampire Woona 14 Jul, 2014 @ 8:11pm 
i love this mod but theres one problem. the conjuration spell "Spectral Arrow" that fires like a destruction spell is not affected because cunjuration only gets a duration buff... would you mind making a simple fix mod that moves that spell under the destruction skill so it gets a power boost too? i know there are other so-called "spectral arrow" mods, but all of those are people attempting to create their own spell from scratch... i cant seem to find one that just moves the class of the vanilla spell... would you mind helping me out please? :3
Quakenbake 17 Jun, 2014 @ 3:01pm 
I found one small problem. Your description leads me to believe that at skill level 100, all spells should cost nothing to cast. My current character has all the magic schools maxed, and I find that your description holds up for all spells EXCEPT for Adept-level Restoration spells. For some unknown reason, those spells do not follow the rest of the spells in the game. In case it was some error in the patching I even made the skill legendary and brought it back up to 100. Same problem. I have every perk in the restoration tree, and a skill of 100, and adept level spells, and only adept level spells, cost magicka. I hope you can look into this, in case its a programming oversight. The strongest ward spell is adept level, which is something of an annoyance when it costs close to the standard amount of magic per second. Thanks for the great mod otherwise. Big help in full mage playthroughs.
DreX 16 Jun, 2014 @ 12:48am 
with all the mods i have running adding difficulty.. such as revenge of the enemy.. SOT.. supernatural ai.. being a mage was impossible b4.. now i can with this mod.. plz do not remove the buffs b/c that would defeat the purpose of this mod.. i mean you can enchant for regen and school cost less.. but damage in vanilla standings is worthless with a game modded and playing on legendary.. btw great mod..
upturnedcup 12 Jun, 2014 @ 2:48pm 
I know that I just copied wexman's comment, but I had pretty much the same things to say.
upturnedcup 12 Jun, 2014 @ 2:47pm 
can you make it so that it only effects magicka usage? When you add the increased damage by leveling system, magic just became too OP and made the game boring. It'd be much better if this mod just supported magicka usage and not magicka damage. But still, great mod. Very useful! Besides the super OP fact, you got my sub.

late game weak, mid game not weak
pressurepoint14 6 Jun, 2014 @ 8:22pm 
after lvl 80 most magic is useles. The max lvl of all illusion spells is 26. That's great if i am going after a skeever. And 150 dmg fo a master lvl destruction, useles. my bow does 400+ when i am sneaking plus another 200 in enchantment dmg. with the exception of restoration magic is outstripped fairly early on.

@peter.giesbrecht does this work with Midas Magic and other mods that add more spells?
Einar 5 Jun, 2014 @ 10:17pm 
Way OP.
FireandEarth 5 Jun, 2014 @ 10:09pm 
seems like it should be .25% cost reduction per point tops.
CaptainMcToasty 5 Jun, 2014 @ 7:36pm 
Hell, I ain't complainin'.
Almea 5 Jun, 2014 @ 1:01pm 
100% off spell costs is obviously too OP./..
Zythris 5 Jun, 2014 @ 12:06pm 
Underpowered? Magic is OP as hell. Go mage and the whole game is easy mode. Add any more power and you might as well just set the difficulty to novice or even /kill command everything.
krist 5 Jun, 2014 @ 10:01am 
Seriously?If you have magic at 100lvl and some magic rings and other shit, it will be pretty powerful.
Mathias 5 Jun, 2014 @ 5:32am 
Weak? Magic is f*cking OP late game.
Insufferable Smartypants 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:50pm 
Er... is there a cap on that mana reduction? 100 skill... 100% reduction would be completely over the top.
BlissfulFish24 4 Jun, 2014 @ 2:15pm 
unlimited spell thrower...;] but makes game too easy on mage.
