Complete MAGIC Overhaul For Skyrim 2023 – Best Magic Mods

Welcome back everyone in this video we are going to look at a collection of mods to overhaul magic in Skyrim these mods will help you build a more complete magic experience and become the Mage you always wanted to be starting out let’s look at some of the

Best spell mods with the first one being mysticism a magic overhaul this mod will work as the base for our new magic system both balancing the vanilla spells with hundreds of bug fixes and adjustments such as allowing you to cast to Master Spells with one hand instead

Of two actually making them viable in combat as well as adding almost 200 new lore friendly spells based on previous Elder Scroll titles some of these include new utility spells to allow you to open a locked object or to literally walk on water and new high-level versions of some of your favorite

Vanilla spells this mode is implemented very well and feels natural within Skyrim’s progression system offering you a balanced magical experience throughout your entire playthrough then we have my favorite spell mod called forgotten magic redone this mod adds 39 new spells to the game which may

Not be as many as other style packs but does so in a very unique way each spell comes with its own unique progression system so for example this wolf pack spell will gain experience as I use it once you gain enough experience you will receive a talent point that can be used

To improve or upgrade that spell using the mod menu again with the wolf pack I can make them do more damage provide player Buffs or even become invisible each spell has 10 upgrades but can only be upgraded five times so you will have to Choose Wisely as you progress further

You are able to create powerful and unique spells that can vary greatly depending on the talents you choose I love this design concept which really allows you to build your own mage then we have another favorite mod of mine called storm calling magic which adds three new spells all related to

Lightning these include streak which allows you to dash forward like the flash Mage Fury which cools down a bolt of lightning on your enemies and lightning flood that creates a storm on the ground damaging nearby enemies for a short time all of these spells look and feel

Amazing I am also using the add-on that turns the lightning into that beautiful golden color they are also all expert level spells and will only start appearing once you reach 75 in destruction if you want even more spells in your game then the last spell mod I’m going

To show you today is the apocalypse magic of Skyrim spell pack this mod adds over 100 new spells to Skyrim spread across all of the schools of magic all of the Spells are all seamlessly integrated into Skyrim’s leveled list and I found they help make the magic schools of alteration illusion and

Restoration become more viable allowing you to solely specialize in one of those schools if you wish there are also some great utility spells such as akato’s recital which will Auto cast up to three spells when entering combat altogether these spell mods add more than enough for you to sink your teeth into

Moving on we are now going to look at a few new mechanics or additions to the Skyrim magical system firstly let’s look at a mod called conduit this mod is for people who enjoy playing as a spell sword as it adds a power that allows you

To infuse your weapon in one hand with the spell in your other hand giving your weapon a powerful magical effect this effect will change depending on the spell type you were using so you can pull off some pretty nice combinations for example the fire conduit makes this powerful fire tornado when performing a

Power Attack the next mod is more optional as people might consider it a little overpowered called No spell casting time all it does is remove the charge time from your spells so you can essentially rapid fire different spells as long as you have the Magicka available I like to use this mod

So my magic feels more responsive and in combat I can be a lot quicker to react in certain situations it also does not affect Master Spells so you don’t have to worry about the imbalance there overall I do enjoy using this mod to liven up my magic casting

Next is a mold called enhanced atronachs which overhauls our astronauts work to make them more effective to use in Skyrim essentially it increases the damage and stats of the three vanilla astronauts to make them more formidable in combat it also removes the level cap so they will continue leveling with the

Player as well as adding a new ability to each of the potent variations this also applies to enemy Electronics so be ready for some new exciting battles in vanilla Skyrim the astronauts become very underpowered in the late game so this mod actually makes them a more viable option throw out your entire playthrough

Then we have the mod magic sneak attack which very simply allows you to perform sneak attacks with magic for those who want to play as a sneaky Mage there’s really no reason not to have this mod and it probably should have been in the base game just remember to also get the

Silent casting perk now we are also going to need a perk overhaul and I’m sure most of you already know this one but for those that don’t I recommend using ordinator the problem with vanilla perk trees is the magic schools lose half their perks to accommodate for cost reduction this mod

Fixes that by condensing those perks down into a single point it also overhauls all of the other perks so you can create very unique and Powerful magic builds this is especially important for the alteration and restoration trees that felt very lackluster in the original overall it’s a very good and popular perk overhaul

Moving on to some magical animation mods first up are the Geisha animation series by Vero Levy these animations cover the walk run and Sprint animations as well as the spell casting sneak magic and Enchanted staff movements these animations are all made by the same author and were produced as part of a

Series so all together they give a nice flow to your gameplay and have seamless transitions highly recommended to use these mods for spell swords however there is another option called the spell sword moveset which features a nice set of animations when wielding both a one-handed sword and spell

The Geisha animations also covers foul swords so if you would rather use those then you do not need this mod and the last animation mod is called Dynamic random spell idol this mod adds random idle animations when wielding spells as well as random equipping and unequipping these animations will only

Work if you’re willing spells so they will not apply when wielding a weapon or a shield they all look fantastic and are very smooth I especially like the one where you juggle the spell up and down now let’s take a look at a collection of visual mods for Magic the first is

Called strange runes this mod adds magical runes to your hands when casting magic the runes will appear when casting spells or Scrolls and are compatible with molded spell packs such as mysticism or apocalypse it also has the added feature of this large room for when you are casting a ward spell

Next is the mod called Frozen electrocuted combustion this mod applies visual effects to NPCs and the player after being slain by Magic some of the results can be pretty Grim or shocking you could say but offer some spectacular visuals of what your spells can actually do this is an amazing mod

And one I wouldn’t want to play without I highly recommend giving it a try on a similar note is the mod called deadly spell impacts which gives texture to surfaces when struck by a certain spell Bell impacts include fire lightning Frost and spit ENB users can also use the complex Parallax add-on to

Give the textures some 3D depth to them another awesome mod that showcases the after effects of your magic then we have the mod then reworked Elemental cloak spells which replaces the visuals of the elemental cloaks fire Frost and lightning these are in my opinion a lot more visually appealing

Than their vanilla counterparts and are also less intrusive in first person view similar to that is a mod called spell Rune retexture which replaces the visuals of the Rune spell this is a very small mod but looks much better than the vanilla versions of the spell runes in

My opinion a nice little addition to any modulus next is the mod known as burp spell tones this mod overhauls the cover of the spell books found in Skyrim so you don’t see the same book covers over and over again these textures look fantastic and appear very magical I will also link

A patch collection so you can use these book covers for other spell mods like mysticism I also recommend picking up the Embers XD mod that will re-texture your fire end game including your fire spell this is the best fiery texture mod for Skyrim in my opinion and you won’t be disappointed

And lastly for ENB users you should also be picking up the mod EMB light so your spells give off their nice glow effect and light up their surrounding environments it also makes fire spells seem a lot more realistic now let overhaul magic sounds for that we will be using the ear gidelum magic

Sounds mod which reworks all of the vanilla magic sounds but instead of me just talking about it here is a short showcase Foreign as you could hear these sounds are amazing and make your magic have much more impact and game lastly I want to cover a few magical items the first is the equippable spell tomes redone mod which adds equippable tomes to be worn by your character other than looking pretty sweet they also come

With handy enchantments to empower your magical abilities they have also been added to leveled lists so you should come across them in your adventures of Skyrim then we have the mod called wizard hats this mod adds a snazzy looking wizard hat available in various different colors and can be crafted at the forge

You may also notice some of your favorite Wizards found around Skyrim will also be sporting these hats they have also been made to look like the vanilla robes so fit well within the visual identity of Skyrim and the last mod today is the outfit I’ve been wearing throughout the whole

Video called The Wild witch outfit to obtain the outfit you can either craft it or complete a small Quest the outfit also supports SMP physics and should be available for most body type mods it looks great in game and although it’s made for female characters males can wear it as well

Otherwise that’s it for this video I hope it helped making your Skyrim a more magical experience big thanks for watching if you made it this far I hope you enjoyed and I will see you all next time cheers
