I'll keep this short and simple. If there is already a mod like this, or someone can make one please treat this as a request thread. If not, I am looking to do this myself. Fire in Skyrim is fairly "tame". I don't like how I can spray a bandit in flames and he just continues running at me, engulfed in fire, and swinging his sword. By far the best implementation of fire in any game ever is probably Far Cry Primal. When hit by fire, enemies scream in agony as they move their arms and are burned alive. It's what fire would truly look like. I'm trying to make mage-combat in Skyrim more brutal, visceral, and intense. But I know it'd be too much work to make enemies scream and writhe around in pain. So I've found a good simple solution. All I need is to mix a fire-spell with a fear-effect. A fire spell that ALSO has a fear-spell mixed in. Think something like "rout", but super strong. So in practice, I shoot the spell and the bandit catches fire and runs away screaming. It might be OP or break balance, I don't care much for that. My current RP is all about a mega-powerful Game of Thrones type ruler and game-balance isn't a concern for me. TL;DR Please tell me how I might go about creating a destruction spell where you shoot out fire and the enemy catches fire, but there is a fear-effect built into the spell so the enemy also runs away.
