About this mod
Adds a selection of time manipulation spells, with drawbacks that are balanced around the base game.
Unlike vanilla slow time, you move at full speed without restriction...unless you want to slow yourself for powerful effects...
Extremely lightweight. Other than adding the tomes to vendors, scripts are only used by a few spell
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
If you enjoy this mod please endorse. If you have problems or feedback please comment. I'm still developing this and I'd definitely like feedback.
This mod adds 30 spells to the alteration school. They come at all skill ranks, so you start messing with time from the start of the game. Slow speeds vary both for the world, and yourself. Many of the effects let you move at full speed, unlike the slow time shout. Some spells slow YOU and confer powerful benefits while the world moves quickly around you. Tomes are added to vendor lists, so you can buy most of the spells from Farengar. The higher level tomes have to be purchased from Tolfdir, and Master level spells require that you complete the alteration ritual quest.
Note: Since tomes are added to the vendor lists, you may need to wait a couple days for vendors to update after you install the mod, and after you complete the ritual quest.
All updates are safe for active runs. Just overwrite the current installation. You don't need a new save.
Update 1.25.1:So I finally removed the dependency on the unofficial skyrim special edition patch. But I also realized something very dumb. I was accidentally using an SKSE function for 3 of the spells. Apparently nobody noticed or reported that they weren't working without SKSE, but I have to update that as a proper dependency. Whoops! You can run this mod without SKSE but Precision Aim, Death Wind, and Overclocking won't work.
Update 1.25: Sorry for the update right after, but I had some bugs crop up with a few master level spells. And I didn't realize just how strong they get with alteration perks, so I made a few last minute balance changes. This should be the last update for a while.
Update 1.24: More bugfixes and balance changes. Changed spells are highlighted in bold in the main description.
Bulwark/Golem/Juggernaut line of spells were significantly buffed. The slow effects were buffed to be in line with the Haste line(reversed essentially). Golem now gives 50% stagger resistance. Juggernaut gives stagger immunity.
Haste Other was reduced from 75% to 60%, but the duration increased from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
Both Haste Other and Greater Haste Other now fail when cast on hostile targets, to prevent accidents.
Update 1.21: Fixed a bunch of bugs and nerfed some of the overpowered spells.
Update 1.2: Added in 12 new spells. New spells allow for giving haste effects to allies, directly slowing enemies, as well as support for archer and casters. Also added another novice level time stop spell for early progression, and a stasis rune spell.

It has some really good time manipulation powers. I might add them to this outright, but I'd rather you go download and endorse his mod. There's a lot of great stuff in there besides just time manipulation.
Pretty much everything Enaisaion does, but these 2 mods have some good spells and teleport/time themed stuff. I also recommend Ordinator or Vokrii.

Additional Notes
At extremely slow time, dying enemies may glitch and have their weapons float in the air. It's an engine limitation so there's nothing I can do about it, but it's purely visual anyways. There also can be a slight speed fluctuation when slow time effects start and stop. This is only really noticeable for the Perfect Clarity spell. Again, engine limitation, so if it bothers you unfortunately you'll just have to not use that spell. Finally, if you cast a time manipulation spell while another is in effect, it will amplify the duration massively. This shouldn't normally be possible, but if you have a mod casting spells via scripts(such as Apocalypse), or cast spells in rapid succession, you may run into this issue.
