Notes on balance: Some spells had no functional difference between tiers other than durations, making using anything except the cheapest ones rather pointless with this mod. To correct this, I edited a few.
As spell costs are required to gain xp, you need to have enough mana to cast the spell and for the reserve.
Reserve Costs and XP gain
Options/Configuring
Casting any toggled spell will give you "Toggle Spells Menu" which can be used to adjust most aspects of this mod. If you want faster or slower XP gains, higher or lower reserve costs, or to disable them entirely. Now you can also decide whether summons should be automatically resummoned on death. There's also a reset option in case of bugs.

Notes on balance: Some spells had no functional difference between tiers other than durations, making using anything except the cheapest ones rather pointless with this mod. To correct this, I edited a few.
Spoiler:
Show
- Flame Shield - Incorrectly set as a master level spell due to it's duration, I've put it as a Journeyman level to complete the set for that tier.
- Detect Life - Several spells here only had duration changes between skill level tiers. Instead, they now have a more natural distance increase.
- Void Gazer - There was no reason to use this over "Eyes of Eventide" so I gave it a conjuration buff, the idea being that you are gazing into the void of Oblivion
- Shroudwalk - This was simply a much worse Chameleon. It even cost more than a custom spell of the same mag/duration would. Now boosts speed.
- Eyes of Midnight - With this mod, there was no reason to use this spell. Now has an illusion buff.
- Invisibility - Excluded. Just by it's nature, it wouldn't work well as a toggle. It would break all the time and have to be toggled off and back on.
- Fortify Magicka - Excluded. It didn't make sense to me to pay a Magicka reserve to increase Magicka.
As spell costs are required to gain xp, you need to have enough mana to cast the spell and for the reserve.
Reserve Costs and XP gain
Spoiler:
Reserve costs now function as a percentage of your maximum Magicka, adjusted by skill level. The formula is Total Magicka * Base Cost / (1+ (Skill level / 100))
Base costs are: Novice - 10%, Apprentice - 20%, Journeyman - 30%, Expert - 40%, Master - 50%. This means that at 1 in alteration, you'd pay 10% of your total Magicka to cast Protect. At 100 alteration, it would cost 5%. This scales past 100, either with mods to increase skill level caps or Fortify Skill enchantments.
XP gain is based on your total number of active toggles in a given school, divided by two (with a minimum of one). Off by default, can be turned on in the settings menu. Default is set to proc every 10 minutes, and this is adjustable.

Known Issues
Spoiler:
Fortify Magicka from enchanted items is not accounted in reserve costs, just base Magicka and Fortify Magicka abilities.
Summons disappear if you fast travel. This is an engine limitation, and currently not fixable.
The reset spell has weird interactions if your armor is enchanted with Fortify Magicka. If you need to cast reset, which should only be used for bugs, take off gear enchanted with this first.
Spell effectiveness is ignored for spells affected by this mod. To change this isn't feasible right now.
Light spell and shader spell bugs are vanilla bugs.
