Overview:

 Long ago when Akatosh made Alduin and the first dragons, he gifted them with a unique and obscure magic. This magic manifested itself in the form of crimson lightning. These Ancient Dragons used this power to raze Nirn and the races of man and mer beneath them. This unique source of magic is highly volatile, often consuming the user if they could not contain and tame this power. The magic however was intoxicating to the dominating personalities dragons possessed. The dragons soon began to succumb to the power as the crimson lightning began to engulf and erupt from the insides of them resulting in horrific explosions that would vaporize everything in it's shaping Nirn around it and even shaking Mundus itself. Alduin began to fear this power as he felt and saw the true power of this "gift". Being the oldest and strongest of the dragons he fought his kin to prevent them from using this devastating power. As time passed the knowledge of and use of this magic became obscure and taboo amongst the dragons and it was completely forgotten to the oppressed men and mer of Nirn.  

Design Philosophy: 

I designed the spells and and visuals to represent the lore I have made up for this mod. My friend Madame Gremlin, helped alot with a lot with the design philosophy and getting the thought process into a legible format. It's supposed to be a powerful and volatile magic and I wanted that to be showcased in the visuals as something that the player is barely able to contain within themselves. I think this is best represented in the enchantment visuals as the magic that couldn't properly be converted leaks out in the form as the heat distortion radiating off the weapon. The spells are also meant to be a bit on the more powerful side of things but cost more magicka to cast.

Accusation: 

The spell books, and weapons can be looted from slain dragons based upon a Distar file made by Gremlin starting at level 40. You can attune this to your liking in the ini within the distar files. There are eighteen spells and one new enchant within the mod for you to play with. Alternatively you can always use additemmenu but that's boring in a normal playthrough :P. 

Future:
 
I do not plan on stopping with updates on ADL as it is my passion project(my baby) and I plan on continuing to update with new spells if an idea strikes me(haha, I'm here all week folks.) an actual summonable Dragon would be pretty cool and a custom move set involving ADL would be pretty cool, but for now it is a great state and I plan on starting my new project "Soul Magic" tomorrow. Once again if your have any ideas or other shock spells you would like to see in the mod, or ideas, collaborations, etc you can comment, dm on Nexus or dm me on discord @leiptr_rairyu. I am sorta active in the development channel of the Skyrim Modding Discord as well if you catch me. For any videos or screenshots you capture and want to be displayed, please do so, or tell me and I will link them directly.
