Overview:
Walk the Path of Sorcery, and become a true master of the arcane!

Path of Sorcery (PoS) is a complete overhaul of Skyrim's magic perk trees: Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Enchanting, Illusion, and Restoration. This mod aims to improve the experience of playing a mage by providing more interesting perk options and more ways to role-play, but without turning Skyrim's magic system into something alien.

The vanilla magic perk trees tend to be pretty boring, and lack the depth needed to make progression interesting. Almost every perk is either "do x% more damage" or "spells cost x% less to cast". Your perk choices have no real weight - almost no new functionality can be unlocked, and you can become a master of EVERYTHING, even when it doesn't make sense.

Path of Sorcery fixes everything that is wrong with Skyrim's magic progression system, and adds all sorts of exciting goodies on top of that. There's too much packed into this mod to explain in a short summary, so take a look at the info below to get a sense of all the awesome waiting for you!

Features:

• Improves and expands upon vanilla in a lore-friendly way while adding depth and balance.
• You can now specialize in different types of magic, customizing your play style.
• Spell power now scales dynamically with your skill level - a level 50 Fireball will hit much harder than a level 10 Fireball!
• Perk sinks have been replaced with perks that add gameplay and functionality. Passive boosts are less common, and more interesting than a flat increase.
• Rebalanced vanilla spell XP gain to be more immersive, eliminating the need for spell-spamming.
• Dead Thrall now works on most things; non-NPC zombies now follow you through doors.
• Fixes many vanilla bugs with spells, scrolls, and staves; adds missing vanilla scrolls.

Hard Requirements - Must be present in your game!

Installation Steps

Can PoS be installed on top of another perk overhaul like Ordinator?
Some perk overhauls may need to patch to make them compatible. But even with a patch, you MUST start a new game in this scenario.

Can I upgrade to PoS version 3.0 from my existing version of PoS?
NO! You MUST start a new game if upgrading to 3.0! Existing PoS saves are not compatible!


Compatibility:

FAQ
Q: Is this mod compatible with X other magic perk overhaul?
A: Probably not. If two mods edit the same thing, Skyrim will ONLY use the version in the mod loaded LAST. So it would be a pointless exercise to try to use Path of Sorcery with another magic perk overhaul mod. Just pick one.

Q: Is this mod compatible with my favorite spell mod?
A: Yes! BUT (almost) all spell mods will require a patch to take advantageof PoS perks. Them's the breaks, folks. That's just how it has to be to get the awesomeness contained in PoS. Links to various patches can be found in the pinned comments!

Q: Is this mod compatible with ASIS?
A: Not with version 2.0 onward, sorry. I may be adding perks to NPCs myself at some point in the future.

Q: Dark souls, The Relentless, Plague Carrier, Feel No Pain...none of the zombie perks are working! (And my zombies don't follow me through load doors, either).
A: You have another mod in your load order that is adding a "reanimation ability" to your raised zombies, preventing the reanimation ability in PoS from taking effect. Search your mods - if you have anything that affects zombies or reanimation, go talk to the author of that mod. They have probably implemented their own Apply Reanimation Ability perk, which means that that mod will inherently conflict with PoS.

Q: Spell Charging isn't working!
A: You have another mod in your load order that is trying to use the OneHandedSkillAdvance or TwoHandedSkillAdvanced actor values. The other mod is likely incompatible without script edits to make it use a different actor value.

Q: Ghost Dance isn't working!
A: You have another mod in your load order that makes use of priority 10 for an ApplyWeaponSwingSpell perk. Basically, it means that you need a patch for whatever that other mod is so that it doesn't have an overlapping priority.

Q: I don't like perk x. Can you change it?
A: If the reason you don't like perk x is because of a bug, or because it's super OP or completely useless, then I can probably do something about that. Submit a bug report. If you don't like perk x because it just rubs you the wrong way...you might want to go find another magic perk mod that suits you better.

Q: Yeah but seriously, x part of this mod sucks/isn't lore friendly/already exists in another mod.
A: I don't care. Go bother someone else.
