Physically Skilled - Round 2

Physically Skilled - Round 2 is an unarmed combat mode. Increases your unarmed damage. Use your hands to deal elemental damage or soul trap enemies.

Sit comfortably, close your eyes, clear your mind, and feel the energy of Aetherius flowing into you.

The mages of Tamriel know this energy as 'magicka', and the Akaviri call it 'ki'. I prefer the simplicity of the word. I will teach you to channel this energy through your body. Use your hands to kill.

You'll even learn to imbue your strikes with elemental power. If your art is disciplined, you can continue to learn more power.

========================

Physics Connoisseur - Round 2 is indeed another unarmed combat mode. It has nothing to do with WetWire's Physical Adept mod except in concept.

Enable the mod in the mod configuration menu and your unarmed strikes will receive a damage boost based on your altered skill level. When you attack an enemy unarmed, your Alteration skill increases.

Your hand-to-hand combat can be further improved via the mod configuration menu. This allows Physical Adept - Round 2 to be compatible with any other perk overhauls you may be using. (After leveling up, choose a health, magic, or stamina boost, then exit the skills menu and open the mod configuration menu to spend your extra points.)

This mods also adds Ring and Glove Strengthening Unarmed to the level list, making enchantment no longer unique to an item.

You can further customize your unarmed strikes by learning styles. Styles allow you to use your unarmed strikes to deal with the effects of magical weapons, costing some magic per hit. Only one style can be active at a time.

Any spelling supplier will sell novice and apprentice style manuals. Professional, Expert, and Master style manuals are only sold in the Ice Fist training room near the crossing point near Cyrodiil, and only if your transformation skills are high enough.

Each style deals 5 points of additional damage, which can be increased by acquiring the Ki Mastery perk. Using a style in a brawl will be considered an attack and bounties will be awarded accordingly.

Beginner style:

Dragonfire - Fire damage

Ice Ghost - Frost damage

Thunderstorm - Shock damage

Apprentice style:

Dawn - Only the Undead Only the Undead

Hungry Ghost - Soul Trap

Skillful style:

Spider - Poison damage to life

Bear - Damage Stamina

Hagraven - damage magic

Expert style:

Vampire - absorb health

Dark Tempter - Absorb Stamina

Atronach - Absorb magicka

Master style:

Chaos - fire, frost and shock damage

Possibility ========================

Known issues

Reaching a new rank in Ki Mastery will not take effect when new styles begin.

If you kill a creature in the form of a hungry ghost with one hit, you won't be trapped in its soul.

The NPCs in the ice boxing training room don't do much.

Other things to note

If Alternate Start - Live Another Life is installed, you can select "I Learn Under Master Ice Boxing" from its dialog box to start with Ice Boxing School style and a random newbie style known.
