I am about to start a mage character and am curious if there are any mods that allow you to scroll through a few selected spells with your mouse's scrollwheel? Or perhaps something else for ease of magick use? Otherwise if you have any suggestions for general magick related mods please feel free to announce them, I'd love to check them out too.

Thanks everyone!

About your first question... I don't believe so

you can set up the controls so you mouse wheel scrolls through your spells - but not a select few - only all of them.

There is this incredible/awesome french's mod => http://morromods.wiwiland.net/spip.php?article756
It's really a must-have for any mage's player!!!
It's a shame, it has not yet been translated into English.

cant you also hotkey some of them, so that you can "instantly" ready those?

The "Spells" plugin from my mod makes the pre-made spells a lot better.
