Mysticism - The Lost Art
Mysticism – The Lost Art of Skyrim OG
"Mysticism - The Lost Art" adds spells and powers to Skyrim in an effort to restore the "Mysticism" school of magic from parts like Oblivion, Morrowind, and more.
It doesn't add mysticism per se to the game in parallel with the existing magical schools of destruction, restoration, summoning, alteration and illusion. Instead, it adds spells to those schools historically associated with mysticism. It also adds some new spells and powers that haven't been featured in past games but fit the mystic theme well. Finally, it adds some pre-existing spells in the game that are considered mysticism spells. As such, the new mysticism "skills" are better thought of as a common thread throughout Skyrim's existing magic schools, rather than an entirely new magic school in its own right.

SOUL HARVESTER
(néeCarquisitiveSoul Gems)
Soul Reaper lets you trap souls into soul gems more intelligently, helping you avoid accidentally trapping souls into soul gems that are too large to effectively waste gems. If you're familiar with "Smart Souls" or "Acasureitive Souls Gems", this functionality is very similar - and, once you've trained your Conjuration skills enough, it's just like installing one of those mods.
Importantly, please note that if you don't want to use leveling, you can enable full Smart Souls functionality in MCM right now.
A 20 summoning skill will allow you to tell if you cast a spell and* the soul you want to capture doesn't have a matching soul gem before you complete the objective and capture the soul. This gives you the opportunity to let the effect expire on the target, or to give up a larger gem you don't want to waste by capturing the soul, or even to somehow obtain a matching soul gem.
Anyway, here are the skill levels:
20 Summons - You will be notified when you have no matching soul gems.
25 Conjuration - Traps little souls only in Petty Soul Gems.
30 Conjuration - Traps only have small souls in small soul gems.
40 Spells - Traps common souls in common soul gems.
50 Conjuration - Always traps the soul into a matchi …
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.
