I would like to present to you Fearsome Magicka, a new 'magic user's overhaul' mod.

Those videos says it all:

The mod is to be released soon, hopefully before Christmas.

Looks pretty darn good :tops:

Looks great, especially Time Stop! How do you do it, 'just' (not ment in a 'oh that's easy way') modifying the fGlobalTimeMultiplier in the ini? Also, what is the general theme of the mod, you mention 'overhaul' but I mostly see some cool new spells. Not that it would be any less of a mod, I'm just curious as to what kind of changes it might be making to the existing magic. )

P.S. Oh and I can't wait to see how you scripted all those cool effects (*drools* over Time Stop, Magic Missles and much much more. *drools*).

awesome :goodjob:

Thanks, I'm glad you like it

I've written 'overhaul' because this mod will make ALL magic users of Oblivion to use the new spells(all spells, including Time Stop).

EDIT: well there will be some other changes also, but this mod is designed to be compatible with other magic overhaul mods, like L.A.M.E. or Supreme Magicka, so I think I'll leave mose of the tweaking to those mods.

Yes I noticed that and forgot to mention I'm drooling over that too.

And to keep myself from imploding due to impatience might I ask how Combat Telekinesis works? Does it simple throw the closest object at the target or whichever object was selected last? Oh and with Magic Missles, are you changing the angles of the projectiles themselves or are you scripting the entire trajectory (in which case, double kudos and double the excitement)? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just really excited after seeing the videos.

[edit]
Hmmm, how will it look when an NPC casts Time Stop? Will everything be frozen except for the NPC itself and then just watch as he beats you to a pulp? That might make an interesting challenge. :hehe:

I love that combat telekinesis, brilliant!

THese things look incredibly powerfull.
Will Npc's have these powers as well?:)

Beautiful effects!
Looking forward to this.

Voila.

Godamn this'll be great^^.

Combat Telekinesis selects the heaviest nearby object(as the damage dealt increases with the weight of an object).
In Magic Missles the whole trajectory is scripted, the angles are also updated to match the direction along which the projectile is currently moving.

Oh, as I written in the first post, this mod is a 'magic user's overhaul'. It not only adds new spells to enemies, but it also alters their AI to use those spells effectively.

EDIT: when NPC's casts Time Stop he/she will mainly concentrate on casting spells at his/hers opponent, which might have devastating results, especially if he/she uses some of the 'guided' spells, like Magic Missles or Acid Arrow.

These are some of the best custom spells I've ever seen! Good work!

Holy... This looks awesome! First (working) time stopper that I have seen, plus it stops projectiles(?)!
So, if I cast Time Stop, will I be able to create arrow storm with bow? That would be terrific!
EDIT: Disregard that, I am idiot and didn't watch first video.

This and Chargeable spells show a lot of promise.

very neato looking.

... Wow! This looks amazing!!

One question, why do the spells appear to consume no magicka? I thought maybe tgm for making the video, but your char was taking damage...

I really love the missles and the fire spell where the npc was pulled upward. Very cool effects!!

*bookmarks

How would it work with LAME's?


Also how are the Spells distributed? I noticed a random axe wielding bandit in fur, and all using the Veil of Darkness spell, as well as http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/image/926702.html?gf=12. Was that just for the trailer, and the spells will be more controlled and rare in the final version?... at least the very powerful ones.

Currently the mod is extensively tested, so I made NPC's to use those spells quite often. In the final version it is NPC's magic skills will determine the which spells he/she will be able to use.

Wow, those spells exceed even the epicness of Midas Magic! oo: So downloading this once you release it. Keep up the good work!

I would love if this neatly intregrated into supreme magicka . As other have said , some of the spells are really cool . I'll wait and let a few other test and such as I finally got a stable fcom game now

Wow! This looks amazing! I can't wait to try this one out. That storm of Fireballs looked really cool. Is there a version of it for Frost and Shock, too?

Wow i didn'y look trough half the video before i was amazed and just stared at the magic missiles. This is a true keeper.

Very nice work on this. I was going to suggest that you have the damage of objects from combat telekinesis be dependent on the item's weight/quality (if applicable), but I see you've already taken that into account. As someone who always plays a Rogue type, I'm looking forward to having some fun with veil of darkness. Will the spells scale up with more impressive effects at different skill levels? For example, more projectiles with a higher level magic missile, larger fire explosion, perhaps more than one item at once with combat telekinesis? In any case, the work so far looks excellent. The effects are very well thought out and looked very polished overall.

Yeah i would nice if they got more impressive scaling with your skill or maybe you needed a certain skill to be able to cast them.let say 75 or something or maybe even have to seek an old hermit that is the only person that could teach you them.

Almost all spells are dependant to caster's skill level(e.g. number of projectiles in Magic Missles). All spells demand the caster to reach certain skill level before being able to cast them.

Woah, combat telekinesis looks a lot of fun.

Those spells look fantastic! Very slick. :thumbsup:

Is there equal support for third and first-person? Most of the videos were from first person perspective.
