Better Magic
A series of minimalistic modifications to the magic system in order to better balance it and make magic more fun to use.
Now includes multi-lingual support and NMM installation!
The Better Magic series is a group of magic changes that was built simplistically in order to make it compatible with as many mods as possible. In working on this, I’ve had two main goals: improve the balance of magic (compared to similar effects and costs), and make magic feel more fun to use.
Also available from the Steam Workshop.
Better Magic is now available in five languages.
Install
Please install using Nexus Mod Manager. When installing, you must select the same language that your game is in. Language mismatching will cause the game to crash.
If you use Better Sorting by headbomb, check the box for compatibility. This is currently only available for the English version.

Interested in other mods that improve magic but won’t conflict with this? I have some suggestions.
I recommend tejon’s Simple Skyrim Spell Scaling Solution to help rebalance magic even more.
Note: make sure to load your Better Magic files after tSSSSS. If you do, the two mods are fully compatible. If you don’t, Better Dual Casting and Better Spell Finishers won’t function correctly.
Kachajal’s Conjuration and Summoning fixes will stop spell absorption from eating all your summons. This is crucial to anyone who wants to use Dragonskin, the Atronach standing stone, or the Atronach perk without ruining summoning ability.
Want to by a battlemage or spellsword and still be able to block? Dual Wield Parrying will let you do this. It’s a wonderful mod and I highly recommend using the ScriptDragon version of it.
Alternatives
Do you want to change the magic system, but my mod just isn’t for you? No problem. Other people in the Nexus have made great mods too!
leasm’s Empowered Magic is another excellent magic overhaul. Players who don’t like my changes may find what they’re looking for here.
mysty’s Balanced Magic is a more expansive overhaul that dramatically changes the magic system. It conflicts with a lot of things, but if you’re looking for a more dramatic change to the base system than what I provide, it may be exactly what you’re looking for.
Lautreamont’s Empowered Destruction Magic is a great choice if you only want to change destruction spells.
