Elemental Apocalypse Magic mod is here to change your perception of destruction school and show you what magic can really do. The authors have done an amazing job with these effects, especially considering that these effects depend on many factors, some of them being critical hits, expert spells, and instant-kill as well!

These are configurable in your MCM, so you can always change your mind when it comes to these effects, as there are some nice options. However, this is not all, EAM also features cooking, raw meat is no longer a mage’s problem.

Legible Item Descriptions changes your description boxes of items, spells and magic effects. It is brought to you by Thotep on Nexus!

We all know how painful it can be to try and read some of the lengthy item descriptions, this mod aims to fix that.

Ace Blood Magic, this mod not only brings you wonderful spells and their crimson effects but allows you to appropriately build a balanced character that bases their skills on utilizing blood magic.

Personally, I like how there is blood magic in almost every school, destruction being one that you’ll probably use the most as it has some pretty important abilities and post-effects.

As you might have guessed, the spells are not just “shoot and damage” because each of them has a specific purpose, yet allows you to chain them differently according to your character.

This awesome mod is brought to you by noptasis and those who have contributed to Arcanum on Nexus.

Arcanum is a spell mod with around a hundred of new spells to enrichen and spice the gameplay up for your magic-oriented builds. 

• “...inspired by everything from Dragon's Dogma to Planescape, Arcanum may be the most ambitious magic mod ever made. “ ~ The author states.

Not only does it add new spells to your game, but, unlike many other spell-mods, this one actually has vastly creative custom visual effects.

But that isn’t all, because, with this mod, you won’t be stuck casting one spell through most of your game. It will offer you an array of combos, thus never leaving you bored with that single overpowered ability that allows you to decimate everyone around you. It will make you think before you cast, get used to techniques and how to gain certain effects. 

As stated on the page by Felisky384, the creator of this great mod, it will show you how much damage is dealt on actors, making it so that numbers appear above NPC when they take damage.

This is convenient if you wish to track damage dealt to your enemies, for testing or any other purpose. Personally, while I don’t prefer to see this for immersion purposes, it has been a neat addition when testing spell mods and weapon mods for balance, and for that reason, I decided to post it.

Extensible Follower Framework, or more commonly known as EFF provides variety of options for your both custom and vanilla followers, such as changing their equipment, residence and much, much more.

First thing to know about it, when you activate your followers (Press “E” while targeting them) you will be provided with a command wheel. It’s easy and practical to use. The first wheel will have some of the most essential, most used commands and if you still need to change something about your hirelings, the section “More” on the wheel should satisfy your needs.

Features

Clockwork Castle - A quest mod with great story hiding in the depths of the mountains. The quest will start with a bandit wanting wanting to rob you, after you eliminate him, you can find a note in his belongings which should start you off immediately. 

While there isn’t a lot of choices you can make, after you finish the main quest, you can get this beautiful castle to call your home, a steward and a good translocation machine which will allow you to instantly traverse through holds of Skyrim and Clockwork Castle.

Voice acting is very good, you can definitely hear the characters due to their robotic voice, the author has made sure that the characters introduce you to their story and how they came to be, as well support you on your mission with information you’ll need. 

There isn’t an excessive hand-holding through the quest - which is very good, you can easily find what you need to progress further. The markers can sometimes be confusing, therefore you’ll need to use your brains for a bit and think. 

I should also mention that the furnishings in the castle are quite amazing, and bring that old - gold feeling.

Without further spoilers, this is a great mod, very nice constructed & twisted story.
