FEATURES
This mod uses Vanilla assets only to add:
- five craftable "mage furs" that look like fur/hide armor but act like mage robes (+magicka regen).
- five craftable "fur-lined hoods" (+magicka).
- craftable fur hand- and foot- wraps.
Frostfall is supported.
How to get the items:
- Loot -- The enchanted items have a chance to show up in boss loot chests, and the rare bandit mages wear them. The unenchanted hand- and foot- wraps have a chance to show in normal bandit loot chests.
- Merchants -- Merchants that normally sell mage robes now sell mage furs and hoods, too!
- Tanning Rack -- You can craft them with the appropriate level of Enchanter perk and the materials as listed below.
- Console -- Run 'help "mage furs"', "help "fur-lined hood"', or "help wraps" to find the <id #>s, then 'player.additem <id #> 1'.

REQUIREMENTS
Uses Vanilla assets only. No DLCs or other mods required.
USLEP strongly recommended because it fixes the bug where "elk hides" are called "deer hides". If you don't have USLEP, you'll have to keep track of your elk vs. deer hides yourself.
For the "Modded" female look:
- Practical Female Hide Armors (only available for SE at the moment)
- Modesty Mod
- Comprehensive Sleeves Pack (I did not do an exhaustive search for good male replacers. Feel free to leave recommendations in the comments.)
COMPATIBILITY
Supports Frostfall. Mods that replace the Vanilla models and textures on the following items are compatible AND will affect my mod. This is intentional.
- Forsworn armor and boots.
- Fur armor, kilt w/mantle, bracers, and helmet.
- Hide and Studded armor, and Scaled helmet.
- Novice, Apprentice, and Adept hood.
The crafting relies on Vanilla Enchanter perks, so I suspect this mod is NOT compatible with perk overhauls. It will also be incompatible with mods that edit:
- The bandit mage NPC outfit [ckid:BanditMageOutfit]
- Four leveled lists related to mage robe merchants and loot, and bandit armor loot. [ckid:LItemEnchRobes75, LootEnchRobes10, LootEnchRobes15, LootBanditArmor25]
NPC BEHAVIOR AND BALANCE
Though not fully playtested, I expect the following:
- Stronger bandit mages (in the rare event that they spawn) because they now have access to mage-specific gear.
- NPCs may comment on your poor state of dress if you're wearing the Novice or Apprentice Mage Furs.
- NPCs should NOT comment that you look like a 'wizard or something' or to be from the College.
- NPCs that barter clothing or furs should (generally) be interested in these items. They should be priced similarly to Vanilla mage robes/hoods.
- NPCs that barter armor should NOT be interested in these items.
