Spells in Skyrim don't glow, but that doesn't make sense, right? If you have a fire in your hand, why is there no light around you? This mod adds light to your spells :D

When I was playing Oldrim, there was a mod called Spells Will Give Off Light that did the exact same thing, but it is no longer available today. After learning about mods from the game files, I decided to make this version for Skyrim SE Skeleton Jack/EverWatch also made another mod (SJG) for Skyrim SE that lights up - a spell-emitting light, but some spells don't work, like some Shock, Illusion and Alteration spells. Due to Casting Art's .NIF animation, they don't seem to work well with lighting parameters.

What is ~Colorful Magic Lamp~?

When holding a spell it adds a lighting effect around the character like a torch, I had to change the animation of the spell in my hand to make the mod work, also I changed the color of the shock spell (thanks to JustAnotherRandomDovahkiin), but it's okay, it's a better color :D Please report it and if you find some problematic spells I will try to fix them alL

▪Torch? No more, I have a spell!

▪Lighting matches the color of the spell in hand.

▪Change color of shock spells, they are purple.

▪The lights create shadows, I don't know yet how to change the shadows, maybe I can handle that in the next optional patch.

Install

Win MO2, install like any other mod, just put it after other light mods (elfx, enb light, enb particles, etc.)

FAQ

Will this mod replace ENB Light or ENB Particles?

No, ENB Light adds more interesting light sources for torches, insects, smoke, dragon fire, enchantments, certain details that make the game very nice and interesting, just like ENB particles work very well by adding a lot of things in the particles.

The "Spell's Colorful Light" is just an addition to the spell, adding a light source when you're walking around Tamriel without a flashlight.

Why use this mod if a similar mod already exists?

Some spells are incompatible, making them only work in "third person", and personally understanding that I prefer playing Skyrim in first person is due to certain animations at hand, which for some reason are beyond the furthest reaches. Forget it, casting the art doesn't allow the lights to shine properly, so I've been looking for a way to change the animation to make the lights work again while adhering to the standard spell colors. The color emitted according to the color of the spell is correct!

Can a compatibility patch be made for Revelations or other Spells mods?

Yes, but it's going to take a while, because I want all the spells that exist in vanilla to shine and be "everywhere"!

When I started working on Apocalypse it would be really easy if the animations worked fine under the lights, otherwise I would have to change all the animations that didn't work. I need patience and a little time.

Can you change the color of the shock symbol to something closer to white?

I can make a patch for this if requested.

Known issues

All similar mods with glow functionality have issues indoors, the spells only glow after entering the dungeon for a while until they no longer work and have to go into the room to work again, in some places they often don't work in others, but outdoors work 100%, no issues.

If the shadows are bothering me I don't know if there is a way to remove them and I will try to make this mod as enjoyable as possible.

If these spells are not glowing, make sure you load the module after other lighting modules (ELFX, ENB Light, ENB Particles) as these will replace the old corrected animations, preventing the module from working properly.

▪Some spells may not glow, please ask to report the spell you used. (vanilla spell)

Not compatible

Maybe in the mods for Revelations, Guardians, and Arkanum, since the new spells use casting arts that have been replaced to make this mod work, I will have to …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
