Breakdown:
"Serana and her family are vampiric royalty ; "Daughters of Coldhabour". This mod allows her (and her mother) to assume her true form - A dragon at midnight."

This mod is a derivative of the wonderful work done by Borgut1337 and tsptds to realize Serana in her vampire lady form. This mod adds to their work by allowing SKSE to do the tasks that typically strains papyrus, making it as responsive as native code.

In addition, she has great spell variety in vampire lady form, and her mortal form. This mod wouldn't be possible without the amazing assets from the Sacrilege mod (All you'll need are it's 2 BSA files; not the esp).


Please, visit it's mod page (Sacrilege) for a more in-depth break down of her spells and powers.

Mortal Form:

- Lamae's Daughter (Transform)

These powers are spells are in addition to her normal spells. She will gain all these as you journey with her (Including perks from Sacrilege) and will use every single one of them, consistently.

Features:
- Might and Magic - In vampire lord form, she doesn't regenerate magicka/stamina in the respective stances (Magic/Melee). Thus, fluidly and consistently swaps between the stances to manage her resources.

- Lamae's Wrath - Serana uses Skyrim's threat ratio system to discern when she is truly in danger before transforming. This process is truly dynamic, instead of transforming based on specific enemy types. She will first check that her enemy is stronger than her (Threat ratio < 1.0) .

Then, check that intolerant people aren't part of her combat team (e.g., guards, dawnguard). Then, check if the enemy's team strength is stronger than her team's strength. If this threat ratio is less than or equal to 0.625 (when you're team is getting outmatched) she will transform.

This can result in her transforming immediately as combat begins, or when she starts getting "rekt", and she assess that her team won't make a difference in helping her.

She can only transform if the lighting level is low enough, or if it's around night - early dawn, or if she's indoors, or during an Eclipse. After which, she needs some time to rest and recoup her strength before transforming again.

Please, see this wiki on how the threat ratio system works to understand better.

- Swift, like the wind- (Ultimate NPC Dodging (UND) Add-on) - With UND installed, she can use her Bat Form power evade attacks intelligently, as well as flank and pursue foes.

Load Order and Installation:
Please, see the requirements Tab. This mod removes the default spells, actor scripts, combat style, & class from Serana and Valerica.

It has been tagged with the appropriate bash tags. However, it's good practice to load into SSedit and check that other mods aren't re-adding these elements. It's also recommended you avoid adding new spells to them, as this can mess with their AI and fighting style in both forms.

It's best to load this mod below any mods that affect Serana's and Valerica's NPC records. Any mod that re-adds some of their actor scripts, vanilla combat style, or class can break their AI in Vampire Lady form.
