About this mod
Adds 4thUnknown's Flame Atronach as a new standalone type, able to be encountered and summoned separately, without replacing the vanilla Flame Atronach.

This mod was designed with 4thUnknown's Flame Atronach in mind, intending to let them coexist with the vanilla Flame Atronachs, rather than replace them. I'm personally not a fan of outright replacing anything vanilla, and though there are other mods such as Flame Atronach Variants, which will randomly pick a type whenever one is summoned, that's not really how Bethesda would do it, in my opinion. Typically with a summon spell, you know exactly what you're summoning - any deviations are instead a completely separate spell. If you prefer the variant approach, by all means, use that mod instead. Otherwise, read on.
Due to the closed permissions on 4thUnknown's work, I'm unable to include their models directly. This download only includes copies of the vanilla Flame Atronach models as a failsafe, with a note on how to replace them with other models.
You can use any Flame Atronach model, though it is very much intended for 4thUnknown's, with its distinctive horn.
Though it is a very simple process, it takes reading and an extra step to make this work properly - if that's something you can't do, I recommend you do not download this.
Flame Atronach Impalers are named for their distinctive horn, which they use to gore enemies while burning them mercilessly. It also makes a mean kebab.
Stats-wise, they are identical to regular Flame Atronachs, with the only real difference being in aesthetics.
If you have Leveled List Object Swapper installed, Flame Atronach Impalers can be found anywhere regular Flame Atronachs can, and the same goes for their spell tomes. There are two INIs included, one for enemy distribution and one for spell tome distribution, so you can delete either if you only want one or the other fully distributed. Delete both if you don't want any distribution at all and simply want a unique hidden spell.
Regardless of leveled list distribution, you can find a spell tome to summon a Flame Atronach Impaler hidden somewhere in Haelga's Bunkhouse. What could Haelga possibly want with it...?

Flagged as ESL.
Elemental Potency perk supported.
Due to having to make it a separate race to ensure its death effects work properly, some patches for certain mods that add to Flame Atronachs may be needed for these changes to carry over. I've uploaded patches for Luminous Atronachs and Talkative Flame Atronachs.
