battle mage

You can now cast any spell with a weapon or nonmagical staff.

describe

This is a simple model for aspiring Battlemages. If you have a weapon enchanted by Arcana, or a non-magical staff, you can cast the spell with a powerful attack.

To set this up, use a Battlemage configuration with a smaller amount of power that should be added when loading the game. With it, you can set at what attack power the spell is cast. You can set different spells during standing, forward, left, right, backward and Bash power attacks. When you use a non-magical staff, you can also set up a casting spell.

Also using the Battlemage configuration function, you can choose to use different configuration files. You can set up to 5 profiles with 6 attack power castings, as well as personnel casting. In MCM you can also set a hotkey to change the profile you are using at any time.

Some other notes:

• You gain the Arcana ward from the Arcane Steel Sword. You can find one in Farengar's dormitory.
• Troops cast using this system do provide some experience, but only during combat
• Condensation spells can be used, but they only last for one second

-Due to the mechanics of the mod, spells don't always line up perfectly with attacks

• Magical staff can be purchased from the vendor at Winterhold Academy, or from Neloth in Solstheim
• Slightly lower personnel costs through personnel input than through weapons or hand projection

Description

This is a simple mod for the aspiring Battlemage. If you have a weapon enchanted with the Arcana enchantment, or an unenchanted staff, you can cast spells through them via power attacks.

To set this up, use the lesser power Battlemage Configuration that should be added when you load the game. With this you can set what spells are cast during what power attacks. You can set different spells to cast during either Standing, Forward, Left, Right, Backward, and Bash power attacks. You can also set a spell to cast when you use an unenchanted staff.

Also using the Battlemage Configuration power, you can choose different profiles to use. You can set up to 5 profiles with 6 power attack castings, plus the staff casting. In the MCM you can also set up a hotkey to change what profile you're using at any one time.

Some other things to note:

-You get the Arcana enchantment from an Arcane Steel Sword. You can find one in Farengar's quarters.

-Spells cast using this system do give some experience, but only during combat

-Concentration spells can be used, but they'll only be last for one second

-Due to the mechanics of the mod, the spells won't always line up perfectly with the attack

-Unenchanted staffs can be bought from the vendors at the College of Winterhold, or from Neloth on Solstheim

-Spells cast through staffs cost slightly less compared to casting them through a weapon or with your hand
