Alterion Wards - Alteration

Adds a special area spell you cast once for a period of time so you can cast other spells. Now you don't have to touch vanilla repair schools or use wards/spell breakers to block spells and dragon fire. There are also regular ward spells.

BanjoBunny's original model

optional.esp reduced duration from 6/7/8 to 2/3/4 seconds

Optional retexture based on Holy Wards (also BanjoBunny), basically vanilla ward textures but greener.

Original mod description:

Lite version

This mod adds six new area spells to the game. New area spells renovate schools and have new visual effects. Three of them are regular wards but are changing. Then there are 3 new wards where you cast a ward once and gain ward isolation for x seconds. The effect is a green-orange animated ward effect that is consistent with the other altered color schemes but still looks unique.

Spelltome location

Brittleshin Pass, southwest of Whiterun. Inside you will find a Necromancer, and near him will be a charming table. Spells and diaries about their development are on the charming table.

describe

This mod adds six wards for apprentice, adept and expert level changes. They also take advantage of appropriate modification fees to reduce casting costs. Wards are more powerful (they are designed to be played with NPC spell-modifying mods such as Enemy and Deadly Dragon's Revenge).

The old Transformed Ward blocks incoming magic (up to 75/125/175 points) and gives a small armor buff (40/60/80).

The new spell called "Alterion's Barrier" blocks 50/80/110 magic damage for 6/7/8 seconds! To maintain balance, there are no armored components. These new wards will recharge themselves unless they are temporarily overwhelmed, unlike regular wards. They cast instantly, you just click, no charging required. To compensate, their magicka costs slightly more, but is still available and balanced around you for the appropriate perks to keep the cost down.

The changes already have a lot of meta-magic elements, like magic resistance, so how killer this mod is is really up to you.

The ward is located on Brittleshin Pass, southwest of Whiterun. Inside you will find a Necromancer, and near him will be a charming table. Spells and diaries about their development are on the charming table.

compatibility

Vanilla ward is not affected in any way and esp should not cause any conflicts unrelated to cell editing.

It may conflict with mods that edit Brittleshinpass01 cells. Other items may conflict if placed on that charming table. However, I don't know of any popular mods. If you're running a mod that patches spells like Perma/Skyre, you may want to adjust their skyproc settings if their mana cost/magnitude is high or low.
