About this mod Machine translation
A mod that lets you dream up nature-focused creatures. You no longer have to just summon Dadra and the Undead!
1886/5000 Adds a dozen summoning spells for tree-hugging hippie types who don't want to limit their metamorphosis to an evil pack with daedra and undead.
Visit a wood elf druid called the Gray Witch not far from Dwarf Fennel Lodge (near Riverwood). She can train you in spells (note: for some reason, when I converted this to be compatible with Special Edition, the dialog prompt says "alchemy". But in reality, she trains you in spells.) She sells the following spell books:
Frostbite Spider (minimum level 5)
Mudcrab (minimum level 5)
Wolf (minimum level 5)
Horse (minimum level 5)
Bone (minimum level 5)
Hawk (minimum level 5)
Chewy (dog) (minimum level 5)
White Deer (minimum level 10)
Snow Knife Cat (minimum level 10)
Snow Bear (minimum level 20)
Mammoth (minimum level 30)
Priest Spriggan (minimum level 30)
All summons last 5 minutes except for: Mammoth (2 minutes), Spriggan Priest (2 minutes), Horse (10 minutes, obviously player mount).
All summons are level with the player.
All summons will be improved for health and stamina. Spiggan is given the Heal Other function and will use it to heal you during combat. Horse speed slightly increased.
All summons have been added to Player Alliances and Player Friend Factions, so they can be summoned in the city without any ill effects.
In terms of minimum skill level, the more powerful summons do require more casting.
When visiting the Gray Witch, feel free to use her various crafting stations. You can also tinker with items in barrels and chests, which will sometimes regenerate useful artifacts. She is also a seller of 30,000 gold coins, which can buy almost anything. It seems that there is still a gold glitch in SE, so make sure you sell to her first before buying a large book or training at a high level, as the seller function will glitch if she accumulates too much gold.

Adds twelve summoning spells for the tree-hugging hippie types that don't want to limit their conjurations to unholy packs with daedra and undead.
Visit the wood elf druid named The Gray Witch not far from Anise's cabin (near Riverwood). She can train you in Conjuration (note: for some reason when I converted this to be compatible with Special Edition, the dialogue prompt says "alchemy". But she actually trains you in Conjuration.) She sells the following spell tomes:
Frostbite Spider (min. level 5)
Mudcrab (min level 5)
Wolf (min level 5)
Horse (min level 5)
Skeever (min level 5)
Horker (min level 5)
Chewy (Dog) (min level 5)
White Stag (min level 10)
Snowy Sabre Cat (min level 10)
Snow Bear (min level 20)
Mammoth (min level 30)
Spriggan Priest (min level 30)
All summonings last five minutes except as follows: Mammoth (2 minutes), Spriggan Priest (2 minutes), Horse (10 minutes and obviously serves as a player mount).
All summonings level with the player.
All summonings are slightly boosted for health and stamina. The Spiggan has been given Heal Other and will use it to heal you in combat. The horse's speed is slightly increased.
All summonings have been added to the Player Ally and Player Friend Factions so they can be summoned in cities without any nasty repercussions.
More powerful summonings do have higher casting requirements in terms of minimum skill level.
While visiting the Gray Witch, feel free to use her various crafting stations. You can also help yourself to the contents of her barrels and the chest, which occasionally re-spawn useful crafting supplies. She is also a vendor with 30,000 gold to buy almost anything. It appears the gold glitch still exists in the SE, so make sure to sell your stuff to her FIRST before buying the tomes or training at high levels because the vendor function will glitch out if she accumulates too much gold.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
