Alchemy treatise (with mod support)

This mod adds a series of alchemy books that teach the effects of ingredients and places them in Skyrim's lore-friendly locations, with built-in support for several popular mods that add CACO, Beasts of Tamriel, Immersive Creatures, Skybirds, and Heartbreakers.

These books now teach ingredient effects! No more looking up what each ingredient does, just read them once and the effects will show up the next time you enter the alchemy menu.

Years ago, when Vanus Galerian was still a student on the island of Arteum, he discovered Asliel Direnni's musical notes, which have been passed down through generations. After leaving and founding the Mages' Guild, he completed and published these notes with two alchemists. This set contains 9 books (organized by ingredient type) and a reference book on the most effective ingredients for each effect. One of the alchemists, Gildor Inglorian, hated Galilean's refusal to include human, fish, and orc ingredients, so he created his own book containing these ingredients. These books are rare (magicians are not cautious about their research material), but at least one copy of each can be found in Skyrim, while more common books can be found in several places, sometimes in alchemy shops. . Other alchemists are also searching for these books, so some barbarian might have a clue as to where to find them.

detail

This mod adds a collection of 11 books to the game, teaching the effects of different ingredients through options in vanilla Skyrim and CACO. In addition to the reference books containing lists of the most effective ingredients for each potion's effects, each book looks at ingredients from different types of sources (plants, animals, etc.). The books will also teach the role of ingredients in other Mods - BOTs, Immersive Creatures, SkyBirds, Hunterborn, and Heart Breaker, provided they are active in the load order. There are no hard dependencies, it just requires that my mod can detect the .esp. Both CACO and vanilla versions have this feature, or if you want both CACO and vanilla have a version without auto-learning. I recommend CACO because it's a great mod that greatly improves alchemy, and because this mod was originally designed with CACO in mind. In the vanilla version, there are very few ingredients per book, simply because CACO adds so much. These books are:

Dirt (Bedbugs)

Flora I - Flowers, Fruits and Nuts

Flora II - Leaves, Roots and Mushrooms

waters

sky

beast war

The Children of Auri-El and Y'ffre (Giant, Sprig, etc.)

unnatural and otherworldly

Minerals and gemstones (pearls, salts, oils)

Reference: Active ingredients

The first three are regular books - available for purchase through the Alchemy Shop, and have multiple defined locations. The next three are less common, but are still occasionally found in stores and in a few places. The next four are rare - each of them can only be found in one location, but if you're lucky you might find a copy in Arcaneum. There is only one copy of the last one. Some barbaric alchemists (i.e. not shopkeepers) can provide some clues to help you find rarer books.

Install

Just install one of the four major versions. Both CACO and vanilla have scripted and non-scripted versions. The scripted version teaches the effects of ingredients, while the unscripted version serves as a reference book only. Both script versions require SKSE. CACO version requirements for - you guessed it - CACO. Other than that, there are no requirements. All versions contain ingredients for all supported mods in the text. The scripted version will teach the effects of ingredients added in supported mods, provided their .esps are active in your load order, but these .esps are not required for the mod.
