CROSS_Crucible_SE

Added Crucible blade from Doom16. Complete with new special effects and spells.

<< Skyrim LE Link >>

Details: This was originally designed as a side project for the CROSS_Blades mod for Fallout 4, but it would be really nice to bring to Skyrim. For Skyrim, the Crucible Blade's special effects have been completely reworked!

New to the Skyrim version are drawing and using FX, as well as conjugation spells for summoning blades, and the Atronach forging recipe to permanently gain access to real items. Also new is the ability to hurl flaming skulls with powerful attacks, scorching the earth as they pass through and explode enemies.

Spellbooks are added to select Court wizards and Conjugation trainers, which have scripts added so there is no override. The Atronach forging recipe can only be used once. Once summoned by the Atronach Forge, you have the real thing, nothing in Oblivion can be summoned.

The fiery skull projectile explosion deals damage based on your conjugate perk, with additional damage added by newbie mastery. The normally bound crucible has the weakest projectiles, the mystical bound is slightly more powerful, and the real crucible has a significantly more powerful explosion.

Balance: A bound Crucible spell is a continuation of the Bind Weapon progression. It benefits from the mystical bonding perk and similar bonding perks further up the tree. It is a skilled spell with the same power as Bound Greataxe, but with the added ability to hurl exploding skulls. The true Crucible from the Atronach forge is quite powerful, comparable to the Ebony Greatsword, but is lighter and swings slightly faster.

LORE: There is a book in the game with some lore-friendly lore and the secret to summoning the Everlasting Crucible of Truth with the Atronach Forge. It can be found in the temple of Mehrunes Dagon.

-The Bound Crucible Blade spell tome was added to the level-level Conjugation merchant list.

• Can be purchased at Markarth, Morthal or Mages Academy
• Added using script, this mod does not need to be merged with other level list mods.
• A spelled version can also be crafted with Atronach Forge.
• The recipe is simple: burn book, black soul gem, skeleton (human)
• Notes for recipes can be found in-game at College Forge

• The True Crucible must be summoned along with the Atronach Forge
• Only one Crucible can be summoned, once you use the Atronach Forge to bring it to Mundus, you cannot summon another.
• Atronach forge settings with script injection. This mod will not overwrite any other mod that adds the Atronach Forge recipe.
• The recipe can be found in the game for Mehrunes Dagon's Shrine.
• Real Crucible recipes are more complex than this book, and none of the ingredients are very rare, but they shouldn't be easy for low-level characters.
• If you don't want to find recipes in the game, here's a spoiler:
