DESCRIPTION
----------------------------
This mod implements a new system that gives the player a dynamic Fortify Maximum Magicka multiplier based on their total casting aptitude. No longer is race a massive factor in playing a viable mage!
Aptitude is the sum of the six casting skills: Destruction, Restoration, Alteration, Conjuration, Illusion, Mysticism. At certain aptitude breakpoints, the character's Magicka Bonus increases by 0.5 - the breakpoints are as follows:
Aptitude / Magicka Bonus
750.5
1501.0
1951.5
2452.0
3002.5
4003.0
5003.5
6004.0
The higher your casting skills are, the more magicka you will get. Therefore, any Mage class character will start with a Magicka Bonus of 1.5; however, a Redguard Nightblade will only begin with a 0.5 bonus, whereas an Altmer Nightblade will have 1.0 due to racial skill difference. But any class can increase their bonus simply by leveling up their skills.
RACIALS & BIRTHSIGNS
----------------------------
There is an attached Racials/Birthsigns .esp to be used in conjunction; it serves mainly to balance the racials and signs while removing magicka bonuses, as this mod handles that.
I could not come up with any better alternatives for the Mage / Apprentice / Atronach signs; they basically allow you to have a 0.5 / 1.0 / 1.5 magicka bonus to begin with, and your aptitude on top of that determines your total bonus. So an Atronach Mage would have about a 3.0 bonus to start with.
It is not required to use this, but highly recommended.
QUIRKS
----------------------------
You won't see what your actual magicka bonus is until after leaving the census office.
