About this mod
A spellcaster is a fun and engaging playstyle, until you run out of Magicka. This is where this mod steps in to fill that gap with Spells that allow you to regenerate Magicka in several fun and engaging ways! No longer do you have to rely on a sword and wait until your Magicka is full again.

Playing a pure mage in Skyrim, is quite impossible. You always have to switch to other weapons, once your Magicka is depleted. Regenerating Magicka is very limited. There are not many ways to replenish and manage your Magicka. I already created another mod Magicka Flow - A Magicka Regeneration Overhaul to make Magic gameplay more fun and engaging. But for some people, this is still too passive. So Magicka Surge was created. A spell mod, with several ways to replenish Magicka by using Magicka Spells.
What is Magicka Surge?
Magicka Surge is a spell mod, which allows you to replenish your Magicka in new and fun enganging ways. Currently this mod adds 5 new spells. 3 Destruction and 2 Alteration Spells, which will allow you to play a pure mage character, without the need to use melee weapons. All spells are Magicka themed and have been altered/made with Blender and NIFSKOPE and Photoshop.
Spells (Some spells have dynamic costs, so read carefully.)
Regarding the visuals in the GIFs: Spells in the GIFs look different than ingame, thats due how the GIFs are recorded and have less FPS than ingame.
Where to get the spells? (SkyPatcher or MCM Helper required)
All spells are added with SkyPatcher to LLs or can be injected with MCM manually. This means, they can be found or bought from vendors.
Magicka Bite is a player starting spell, but can be removed with MCM. If you prefer to start without any magic spells.

Install the latest version of this mod.
Install the latest version of SkyPatcher to loot and buy the Spell Tomes from vendors.
Uninstall
You can uninstall the mod at any point, but as always, it's advised to revert to a save, where the mod was not installed.
Compatibility
Ordinator is the only mod so far that requires a patch. All other major perk overhauls should work fine. You will notice, if a patch is required, when the first destruction perk you take, does not set the cost of Magicka Bite to 0.
