Strange Runes – Spellcasting Enhanced

Spellcasting has always been one of Skyrim’s coolest fighting styles, and now you can take it up a notch with this mod. What it basically does is give you hands a pair of glowing runes whenever you cast a spell, looking like something straight out of Doctor Strange. The glowing rune effects appear whenever you cast spells or use scrolls, and even NPCs who use magic also use the same ones. If you want a bit more style when casting spells, this Skyrim mod is for you.

Teleport Arrow

Archers are going to love this Skyrim mod that adds a new arrow type to the game. As the name implies, these arrows have teleporting properties that transport you to the arrows position. The effect happens after 1.5 seconds you fire your shot, sending you flying elsewhere. This mod adds a new layer of strategy when fighting enemies, or you can use it as a quick escape when cornered. Either that, or you can use the teleport arrows as a way to travel, assuming you have enough in your inventory. It’s important to note that these arrows will not damage your opponents, so don’t use them like normal ammo.

Darkened Dungeons

Skyrim’s dungeons are often eerie and quiet, filled with plenty of deadly traps and enemies. Couple this with the atmospheric music, and you have yourself the perfect setting for a horror adventure. If you want to take things even further, this Skyrim mod darkens all of the dungeons in the game, creating a more atmospheric experience. While the dungeons aren’t exactly pitch black, it would definitely be a good idea to have a spell or torch handy when exploring ruins or caves.

Extra Dimensional Storage

One great thing about Skyrim is the fact that it has multiple save files for each character, letting players experience different journeys throughout their playthroughs. However, characters don’t share skills nor equipment, but if you’ve always wanted the same storage, this mod adds that. The Extra Dimensional Storage mod lets players access a shared space across all of your characters that you can access once a day. The best part about this mod is that it’s lore-friendly, meaning you can role-play to your heart’s content.

Healing Waters of Kynareth

If you’ve been hanging around the Temple of Kynareth in Whiterun, you’ve probably noticed the small pools of water. While they’re purely aesthetic, you can turn them into healing springs with this Skyrim mod. What this mod does is basically add some, well, healing properties in the water that revitalizes your character. Take note that the water’s effects only work for the player, so any NPCs won’t reap the benefits when you bathe.
