About this mod

This mod makes magic combat and spells in general a more direct mechanic making almost all spells have no charge to cast and it adds more versions of existent spells like flames or firestorm of diferent magnitude and diferent elements, as well as some other support spells or powers, like speed, healing, regeneration and increased health.

Permissions and credits
Hi. I made this mod mostly for myself and I decided to share it. I like the magic in this game, but I don't like how it adds a certain degree of strategy, even if it's minimal, so that's why I made it so almost all spells, even the master type ones, are casted without needing to charge. This only applies to the spells you will buy or obtain from mage vendors. I have not edited spells from other sources or spells aquired using console commands.

I also added new spells based on my preferences when playing skyrim. I want to get as many killcams as possible, and I have
trouble triggering killcams with spells that doesn't connect directly with the target, like the explosion from the fireball spell, the path that takes the ice storm spell or the blast or a destruction rune, and spells that do damage over time, like blizzard or poisons. I also don't like spells that are loud like ice spear or thunderstorm or that tint the screen like the spell incinerate. So this new spells are based on spells such as firebolt or firestorm.
 
Some of my other preferences when playing Skyrim is playingas a pure mage leveling only magicka and going fast. Since this makes my character really squishy and weak, especially to magic, I made some spells that increase elemental defense and increase speed.
 
This new spells are obtained reading/consuming the appropiate spellbooks that are sold by the appropiate vendors. The new spellbooks don't have any requirement of skill. A recently made character with destruction at level 20 can still buy the new
spellbooks of the new master level spells, for example.

My only attempt of balance the spells itselfs without needing casting time to fully charge the spells are in it's magicka cost, and my attempts to balance the spellbooks are in how expansive they are.

Here is a list of the new spells added.
