Scotopia - Night Eye Spell

Added a Night Eye spell to allow players to see better in the dark.

SCOTOPIA - Night Eyes

This mod adds a small dungeon that contains the spell Scopelian Tome - a spell that allows the player to see better in the dark.

Many other copycats have added spells in one way or another, but this was an exercise for me to create a kit and add spells the way I wanted. My goal is to make this mod very user-friendly, immersive, and compatible. I'm thinking about making some simpler, friendlier spelling mods, so I might upload more in the future if that's something you guys want me to know about! If you have any suggestions on how to improve Scotopia, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

spell

Scotopia simply converts the Khajiit Night Eye racial ability into spell form, with a duration of 5 minutes. Therefore, the spell has the same graphical effect as the vanilla version - blurred edges and all. Depending on your graphics settings and any graphics mods you have installed, effects and how spells look will change. Casting this spell while the effect is still active will turn off night vision.

This spell is worth 200 gold, so it might be worth selling even if you're not a mage.

Scotopia is an apprentice-level illusion spell that is affected by the associated illusion perk.

where to find spell books

This spell is found in a chest at the end of a small low-level dungeon called Dark Descent north of Helgen at coordinates (4, -17). I've uploaded an image of its location, with the dark drop hovering in red. The dungeon is located to the east of the starting cave.

compatibility

I designed this mod for compatibility. No changes to the level list, only 1 vanilla cell. I added the entrance to Dark Descent in the Tamriel world space of (4,-17), so Scotopia will not be compatible with any other mods that alter this unit. Other than that, Scotopia should be compatible with everything.

If you find any incompatibilities let me know and I'll try to fix or mitigate them, or at least post them here.

Scotopia has been cleaned using SSEEdit.

Contact and Permissions

If you have any questions please ask in the comments or send me a message on I'm logged in often so you can get answers quickly. Please don't re-upload or change the mod without my permission, but if you send me a message asking for permission and I don't reply within a month, then give me credit.

SCOTOPIA - A NIGHT EYE SPELL



This mod adds a small dungeon which contains the tome for the spell Scotopia - a spell that allows the player to see better in the dark.

Many other modders have added the spell in one way or another, but this was practice for me to learn the Creation Kit and add the spell in the way I wanted to. I aimed for this mod to be lore-friendly, immersive, and compatible. I'm considering making some more simple, lore-friendly spell mods, so if this is something you guys like let me know and I may upload more in the future! Also let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve Scotopia, and I'll see what I can do.

The Spell

Scotopia is simply a converted form of the Khajiit night eye racial ability into spell form, with a duration of 5 minutes. As such, the spell has the same graphical effect as the vanilla version - blurred edges and all. How effective and how the spell looks will change depending on your graphical settings, and any graphics mods you have installed. Casting the spell while the effect is still active will turn night vision off.

The spell tome is worth 200 gold, so even if you're not a mage it may be worth selling.

Scotopia is an apprentice level Illusion spell, and influenced by the relevant Illusion perks.

Where to Find the Spell Tome

The spell tome is found in a chest at the end of a small, low level dungeon known as Dark Descent, just North of Helgen, at coordinates (4,-17). I have uploaded an image of its location, with Dark Descent circled in red. The dungeon lies just …
