Stones of Sacrifice - Double Edged Standing Stones

Stones of Sacrifice is a complete overhaul of Skyrim’s Standing Stones designed to create more interesting and engaging Standing Stone choices by providing each with a strong bonus and situational drawback. Greater Powers have been removed in favor of passive abilities that are able to influence the way you approach encounters and plan your characters. Some stones may have more subtle drawbacks that may not even be draw backs to your specific character build.

Stones of Sacrifice is meant to be used alongside my Race and Class mod, Nirn's Chosen, but should work with all other mods that do not edit the exact same things.

The Stones
The Apprentice
Elfborn: Magicka Regenerates twice as fast, and spells randomly cost up to 50% less. However, your Magic Resistance is reduced by 25% and you take twice as much Magicka damage.

The Atronach
Wombburn: Your Magicka is increased by 200, and you have a 20% chance to absorb the Magicka from incoming spells. However, You can not regenerate Magicka in combat and potions that fortify or restore Magicka are half as effective.

The Lady
Lady's Favor: When you fall below 25% Health, you resist 50% of incoming weapon and spell damage and rapidly restore Health for 10 seconds. This effect costs gold, increasing with every usage and resetting daily. When you do not have the required amount of gold, you instead receive the Lady’s Scorn.

The Lord
Rally: Your Health Regenerates 50% faster, and upon receiving a melee hit your melee attacks restore Health for 5 seconds. However, your Fire and Poison Resistance is reduced by 50%.

The Lover
Lover's Kiss: Your Shouts are 100% stronger and last 100% longer. However, your Shout cooldown is 50% slower.

The Mage
Arcane Mastery: Your Magicka is increased by 50, and you cast spells 20% faster. However, you take 50% more damage when charging or casting a spell.

The Ritual
Elder Runes: During combat, half of your base Magicka Regeneration is transferred to your Stamina Regeneration. Outside of combat, this effect is reversed.

The Serpent
Star Cursed: You reduce the base Stamina and Magicka Regeneration of all nearby enemies by 50%, but your own Stamina and Magicka Regenerate 50% slower while in combat.

The Shadow
Phase Shift: You move 20% faster, and have a chance to become intangible during incoming melee attacks. However, your Armor Rating is reduced by 150 and your Magic Resistance is reduced by 25%.

The Steed
Charioteer: Your Carry Weight is increased by 100, and sprinting consumes no Stamina out of combat. However, you deal half as much physical damage and spells cost twice as much when you run out of Stamina.

The Thief
Fortune and Folly: Your Stamina is increased by 50, and you are more likely to find gold and other valuable items. However, you receive 25% worse prices.

The Tower
Warden's Wall: Your Armor Rating is increased by 100, and you take 50% less poise damage. However, you move 25% slower while in combat.

The Warrior
Warwyrd: Your Health is increased by 50, and you resist 10% of incoming weapon and spell damage. However, your power attacks and drawing a bow consume 25% more Stamina.

Notes
  • The Apprentice Stone modifies Base Magicka Regeneration.
  • Magicka Damage refers to effects that damage your Magicka (such as the secondary component of Shock Spells)
  • Lady's Blessing costs base 500 gold, adding 500 gold cost every time it triggers, and resetting every 24 in-game hours.
  • Lady's Scorn doubles the damage you take for 30 seconds.
  • Lord Stone Rally Health restore is a fixed amount based on weapon type (10 for 1h, 7.5 for dagger/unarmed, 15 for 2h). The amount of Health restored is doubled on a power attack.
  • Lord Stone Rally does no more additional damage to the target, it simply restores Health.
  • Lover Stone increases the cooldown of your shouts by 50%, meaning a shout with a 30 second cooldown will become a shout with a 45 second cooldown. This effect should be multiplicative with all forms of Shout Cooldown Recovery (such as the Amulet of Talos - which would make a 30 second shout a 24 second shout, which would then go from a 45 second shout to a 36 second shout.)
  • Lover Stone has built in compatibility for Stormcrown and Vanilla Shouts.
  • Due to the conversion of base Magicka Regeneration (3%) and Base Stamina Regeneration (5%), the Magicka gain from the Ritual Stone is greater than the Stamina gain.
  • Steed Stone's debuffs only activate when you exhaust your Stamina meter (putting this here in case the tooltip wording seems unclear).
  • Warden's Wall uses the vanilla Mod Incoming Stagger perk entry, so it will work fine without a poise mod and reduce incoming Stagger.
  • An edited version of the PlayerSleepQuestScript is included to re-enable the Rested bonus while you have the Lover Stone. Relevant USSEP edits have been kept.

Requirements
Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID): Improves Apprentice Stone usage by distributing a perk to NPCs to control their secondary AV damage done with Shock Spells.
powerofthree's Papyrus Extender for the OnHitEx function.
Perk Entry Point Extender: Required for Magic Casting Utilities and Shout Recovery Utilities
Magic Casting Utilities: Required for Cast Speed effect on Mage Stone.
Shout Recovery Utilities: Required for Shout Cooldown Recovery effect on Lover Stone.
Scrambled Bugs: Requires the Perk Entry Points: Apply Multiple Spells patch for the Lord and Shadow Stone.
Backported Extended ESL Support: Required if you use a game version prior to 1.6.1130.

Compatibility
Compatible with everything that doesn't modify Standing Stones. Compatible with USSEP. Included an I4 config for users of Standing Stones - I4 icon and the same icons added in The Handy Icon Collection Collective so you have proper icons in the Magic Effects menu.
