Why this mod was made:

✰ There isn't any way to cast Light or Night-Eye spells for a short period of time in the vanilla game, or specifically dispel them.
  • A mage who understands these spells should realistically be able to decide how long they want to cast them for.
  • You could already dispel Light and Night-Eye spells by Waiting for an hour/Fast Traveling, or using the 'Dispel' Magic Effect.
  • Using 'Dispel' is not ideal as this is from a different magic school and it also removes all effects on your character including positive ones.

✰ The Vanilla game only has a few Light and Night-Eye spells actually available.
Spoiler:

I always used to cast 'Heal Minor Wounds' constantly in the dark as a sort of 'flashlight' type of spell, because it lights up the surrounding area while costing little magicka and lasts for a short duration. This helps immensely when looting dark areas without being detected, but could this be considered overpowered/stupid? If you think so, then you might enjoy this mod and my other mod Truly No Default Starting Spells.


What this mod does:

✰ Adds many more Light and Night-Eye Spells for different use cases.
All Light/Night-Eye spells (vanilla and the ones from this mod) have been perfectly balanced.
The new spells are mostly acquired the same way vanilla spells/spell tomes/scrolls are.

✰ Adds spells to dispel Light and Night-Eye without worrying about dispelling any other effects.
These new spells are in the same magic school (Illusion).
This helps to make your character feel more like a Luminist/Illusionist.

✰ Makes the Khajiit Night-Eye Lesser Power 'Eye of Night' toggleable and last forever instead of having to recast it every 30 seconds.
Cast the spell to turn on/off.
Simple and hassle-free.
Makes any other mod doing the same thing redundant.

✰ Changes starting Light Spells for characters choosing Illusion as a Starting Skill.

✰ Changes all Light Spell Tome icons to look like this:

✰ I have included an optional file which changes the Light Magic Effect icon to look like this: (this icon is from Custom Spell Icons)


✰ I have included optional files which alter 'Open' Spells:
(So you'll be nudged to use 'Searchlight' or a similar spell instead of 'Open Very Easy Lock' to light your way.)
Spoiler:  
Show
Choose only one optional file.
  • Open Spells on Touch: Makes the 4 Standard Open Spells and 'The Unwelcome Guest' Touch instead of Target.
  • Open Spells More Magicka: Doubles the Base Cost of Open Spells. Does not specifically edit 'The Unwelcome Guest,' although its cost is increased.
  • Open Spells More Magicka on Touch: Doubles the Base Cost of Open Spells. Makes the 4 Standard Open Spells and 'The Unwelcome Guest' Touch instead of Target.


Spell Changes & Additions:
(All Vanilla Light and Night-Eye Spells will be shown for comparison)

NOTE) On Magicka Costs:
In the Vanilla game, the actual Magicka cost of spells changes dynamically depending on your skills.
The values shown here represent the average cost. At lower skills they cost more, and at higher skills they cost much less.

NOTE) Dispelling Light & Night-Eye:
If you wish for the 'Dispel Light' and 'Dispel Night-Eye' spells added by this mod to Dispel ALL Light and Night-Eye effects such as...
Light & Night-Eye spells from other mods
Custom-made Light & Night-Eye spells
Light & Night-Eye enchantments
Light & Night-Eye potions
and etc...
...be sure to download the update file after you download the main file.

Aside from teaching you more than one spell, these tomes also have a little bit of text in them that explains/expands on game lore and offers hints in an immersive way. I think each volume is a fun little read.
