Evenstar - Minimalistic Standing Stones of Skyrim
Features
Vanilla standing stones are an interesting game mechanic, but certain stones are clearly better than others, and the 1/day stones are unappealing unless you cheese them with the Aetherial Crown.
This is a small mod that improves the standing stone bonuses, changing 1/day powers to passive abilities and improving underpowered or uninteresting standing stone effects.
