This mod adds over 300 new and unique spell types. It adds beam, spray and projectile attacks. Turn bodies to gold, summon your own magic carpet, or dwemer transformer, or protect yourself with a ring of fire. This mod has several goals...
- Extend the Magic system of Oblivion without disturbing the current spell system
- Maintain the balance of the combat system
- Add a completely different way to obtain these spells from the normal system
To obtain these spells talk to the Vendor Midas. His shop is located to the Right as you enter the Arcane University Court Yard. Before you enter the University itself.

If you're having problems (spells not working). Make sure you have upgraded to oblivion version 1.2. Spells like Force spells, berzerk, & summons won't work without it. Also, the shop itself may not appear. If you are posting here concerning one of these issues, please indicate that you are running 1.2 or higher. If you are experiencing problems, having trouble creating a spell or finding an ingredient. Read the http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes4Mod:Midas_Magic/FAQ before posting here. It could save you a lot of time.
It was 06:45 AM here in Italy when I posted and I still was half-asleep
