ABOUT THE TWEAKS
- Ancestor's Firepower: Lesser power with a cooldown boosting Fire spell damage by 30% for 60 seconds
- Ancestor's Inferno: Lesser power with a cooldown that's a firey blast doing 50% of the damage of the Master spell Fire Storm
- Ancestor's Wrath: Now a lesser power with a cooldown. Same fire cloak damage, but also adds Frost Resistance 50%
- Azura's Curse: Power damaging health, stamina, and Magicka 3 points a second for 60 seconds
- Azura's Protection: Power boosting Fire Resistance to 85% for 60 seconds

- Dark Elf Endurance and Intellect: Lore says the Dunmers' endurance and intellect make them excellent warriors. So Stamina is +20 and Magicka +30
- Dark Elf Knowledge and Mastery: Lore says Dunmers are masters of Destruction. So they learn Destruction skills 30% faster and Destruction spells cost 20% less to cast
- Dark Elf Evil Eye: Lore says Dunmers are feared for their dark reputation for revenge. So they have a 100% better chance to intimidate
- Dunmer Deals: All Dunmer merchants give you 30% prices when you buy or sell
- Starting Skill Boosts: New player characters get Destruction +15; One-Handed +10; and Archery, Illusion, Light Armor, and Sneak +5. Total bonuses increased from +35 to +45
ABOUT THE COOLDOWNS
Ancestor's Firepower, Inferno, and Wrath are now semi-lesser powers. Cooldowns prevent them from being used more than 6 times a game day. They can only be used once every 10 minutes (4 virtual game hours). If you try to activate the powers before the cooldown ends, you see the message, "You don't have to magicka to use this power," and the cost for the spell is temporarily increased to 999. The cooldown for each doesn't affect any other powers or abilities.
COMPATIBILITY AND DISABLING
The mod changes only two things--the Dark Elf and Dark Elf Vampire races. Nothing else is changed. Mods adding new characters should be compatible. If you're using mods that change races, adjust the load order so this mod loads after them. As with all mods with new powers, you should wait one full game day for all magic effects to end and save your game before disabling or deleting.
100% SUPPORT FOR THE VICTIMS OF UKRAINE
100% of the DP points for all of our mods go to support the Ukrainian families who are victims of Russia's war against their country. Many thanks to Nexus for providing this opportunity to assist them.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Did you know we spend more time playing the game without mods than we do making them? We do this to help ensure each mod works as expected, and glitches are fixed before they're released. But no one is perfect! If you think you've found a glitch, please let us know.
