I would love to see 'Better Magic' make more interesting changes to the perk tree the way that Empowered Magic does, then I'd have the best of both worlds. In the late game, enemy mages are still powerful and tough to fight, but non-mages tend to become fodder. Your spells end up becoming really powerful as you level up, and you are still able to decrease your casting cost quite a bit to cast often. In my opinion though, this one is over-powered. But the author has added some really fun and interesting perks to many of the magic skill trees. It won't be quite as compatible with other mods.

It changes the core spells, and the way in which magic damage is calculated. This one is more complicated than Better Magic. I like this mod because it is the simplest and the resulting changes don't end up feeling overpowered.Īnother good one is '', which is fairly popular. I think the most 'balanced' magic overhaul mod is '', which is also the most underrated of these mods IMO. Here is my opinion after using any of these mods. Athyra recommends 'Empowered Magic' as a good magic balancing overhaul to use alongside ACE. ACE ('Athyra's Comprehensive Enhancements') does not change the magic system, unless you count the Enchanting skill.
