Hello, I've decided what my next mod will be. I've read many threads about complaints for shivering Isles, and many of them were regarding Shivering Isles...end reward. SI Endgame Spoiler!

Spoiler

You become the Madgod at the end, but demigod state

With that in mind, I've been thinking. Why not make some more spells for the end of the MQ? I know I already did the Vault of Order, but this is different. Something for mages, rather than warriors. Although even warriors will be able to cast it.

Anyway, here's the theme

You get

6 Lesser Powers, 3 Mania Oriented, 3 Dementia Oriented
4 Greater Powers, 2 Mania Oriented, 2 Dementia Oriented
2 "Apocalyptic" scrolls that respawn in a chest every 3 days, 1 Mania Oriented, 1 Dementia Oriented.

Here was what I was thinking

=======
Mania
=======

Lesser Powers (3)

???

???

???

Greater Powers (2)

Instant Maniac - Frenzies any Individual.

Sheogorath's Whim - Ever hit Sheogorath? You know how he teleports you high in the sky? This power lets you do the same to your enemies! Only works outdoors, and on NPCs. (So you can't use it on big monsters such as the gatekeeper)

Apocalyptic Scroll

Summon Watermelon of Doom - Summons a "Watermelon of Doom" in your inventory. When dropped, and you enter sneak, it will explode, killing anything in a 30 ft. radius by powers of the elements!

========
Dementia
========

Lesser Powers (3)

Summon Skeletal Hound - Self explanitory
???
???

Greater Powers (2)

Demented Laughter - Same as in my PSM. If you didn't check it out, basically it causes a target to become filled with fear, by transmitting a demented laugh via telepathy into the targets mind. The target freaks out and runs away. Won't work on Undead.
Disintegrate - Melts the targets skin off, instantly killing him\her. Doesn't work on Essentials or Creatures.

Apocalpytic Scroll

Souldrinker - Kills everything in the area and replenishes your health, magicka, and fatigue all the way. 50 ft radius, says "DIE!" when cast.

I do not want this to require OBSE, so please don't suggest that.

I also want this to be balanced

If I use your idea, you will be put in the credits. Oh, and feel free to provide an idea for a substitution for an existing idea. If I like it better, I will also put it in.

Discuss, please

Here's an idea for a Mania lesser spell.

The Duke of mania is addicted to a drug so you could use those drug as a "companion trap". You know, if you have some of the drug on you (maybe with the mod, create an easy way to get some), you could cast a spell with a name similar to "Addict" and then the person is addict to the drug and will follow you everywhere and fight for you. If you want to keep him as a companion, you need to give him a regular dose of drug and if you don't, he would just collapse and when he wake, he no longer follow you.

Just an idea

BTW, nice to see you have your own section too

That's a good idea, but that'd require editing a lot of NPCs to be "addicts" and Thadon ends up

Good idea though, and thanks

Can't say as I have any ideas yet but I'll be thinking on it for ya.

I just stopped in to offer my welcome to Spellhold Studios to my friend Jackmix.

Nice to have another modder in this section. I was feeling kinda lonely .

But now , and have a

Thanks Nico, I'll take that cookie, but Hobbs can have those beer mugs

ooh, nice ideas, nice ideas =D I've got nothing for ye, yet, but, congrats at having your own forums! *hugs!*

And, yeah, Hobbs would be better having the beer! XD

*Steals beer* Glashd you has your own plash!

Good to see you have your own mod forums. How about for a lesser power you could create a dome of fire around your character for about 15 seconds? You will not be harmed if you touch the dome/shield but any enemiews will.

Sounds good, but I can only use Oblivion's default visuals, I'd have to make special effect .nifs for that which I don't know how to do

The best I could do for special fx would be shaders, which wouldn't work in this case. Good idea though

Good to see you have your own mod forums.

Thanks, good to see you here at spellhold bud

Thanks man. Hmmm I'll take a look into .nifs and see what i can do

[jackmix69]

C'mon, any ideas at all? I'm not starting this until I've got all my ideas.

Why this ? I think just a high level "Command Creature/Humanoid" would do the trick. I don't mean create a complicated companion that you can see his stats, his inventory, etc. I just want someone that fight with my char, whatever I try to deal with.

As for more idea, I just have a Order related one, and it wasn't in your proposition so I'll keep it

If you can have edited or custom meshes, you could have a Mania spells to imprison somebody with roots. Actually, that's not mania exclusive but... Anyway, yeah... an imprison spell with custom roots that form some kind of cage around the enemy. Could be helpful for escaping a big meanie. You could also transform this idea into an offensive spell. Something like: you summon the cage spell, a (or many) Gnarl come out of the ground and hit the target.

Yeah, but then it would work on anyone, not just "addicts"

And what Order related spell did you have in mind? I love order and would love to hear your idea

That would be a good idea, actually, I'll look into it. I bet with a bit of mesh searching I can model hack a "Root" prison

EDIT: Wait, I misunderstood your "addict" request. Heh, yes that can be easily doable, but I don't want it to require anything, in this case, greenmote.

Uh... no, I don't think you misunderstood What I meant is, if you have greenmote on you, you can cast some kind of Command Humanoid spell on a person. If you don't give him more on a regular basis (let's say 1000 sec) he would just collapse and no longer follow you.

As for my Order idea, well, you did a crazy job on the house and I really like it It would be cool if you had the power to summon a little Order spike that would take you to another (or the same) Order themed home Dunno if it's possible though

Yep, I understood that, but that requires at least a piece of greenmote

Yes, that is possible, actually, just have the crystal be a door itself, so you can just activate it and bam you're in your home, but it'd take a while to make.

Anyone have anything for Dementia lesser powers?
