Master Your Voice
Use dragon souls to make your shouts stronger. But in order to take control over the souls you must first take control over your mind.
First, take a deep breath and calm yourself down (it’s important). Try to take your time and do not rush for a while. Do you feel the harmony inside? Now you have the Great Power of reading the description and not asking obvious questions in the Comments page.
Note: This mod requires a lot of patience. You have been warned.
In the vanilla game most shouts are weaker than the master spells, so there is no point of using the Voice most of the times. Shouts are also ineffective against high-level enemies. This mod aims to temporary make most of the shouts devastating with respect to balance.
Note: Some users claim that the concept will conflict with the lore, but I still can’t understand why? There are ways in the vanilla game to modify the magnitute and duration of the effects provided by Thu’um. If you have something to say, don’t forget to provide the prooflink to the material.
Meditations on the Words of Power
Hidden Knowledge of Epistolary Acumen will alter your shouts
How to use?
A complete video guide (turn the volume down before watching, enable the annotations):
Meditate and master your voice in some lonely place to gain Focus
1) Stand in some open space with no living creatures nearby (mountains are the best candidates)
2) Make a Shout
3) Stay in place, do not move or change the direction (better not to touch mouse or controller)
4) Make a Shout again, you should recieve Focus
No Focus? Try again or try different location.
What is Focus?
Focus will make your shouts stronger (depends on dragon souls)
The effects will last longer (depends on dragon souls)
You can also cast series of shouts while you are not running (the more dragon souls you have the longer the series will be)
Ways to lose Focus
The mod will try to track your real mental and emotional state by tracking your controls. It also will monitor your actions in game.
Avoid damage. A single hit will remove focus. Self-harming (Falling damage) will force you to lose focus only if health is below 70%
Be deliberate. Avoid panic in combat. Avoid rough movements. Keep your direction or turn your camera smoothly.
Don’t rush. Take your time to walk or stay in place to keep focus.
Equip items with a reason, do not equip / unequip too many items at once.
Keep your stamina high. The lower your stamina the easier for you to lose focus.
Avoid drinking potions or eating food (70% chance of losing the focus completely)
Avoid sleep
As you can see, there is no time limit, but it’s actually very hard to keep focus. All the souls will be lost when you lose Focus, so you won’t be able to use this ability often.
Compatibility and Requirements
SKSE is NOT required
This mod doesn’t alter anything in the vanilla game
Yes, it’s compatible with PerMa, SkyRe, you name it
Yes, it’s compatible with mods that modify the vanilla shouts
All the shouts that have magnitude or duration can become stronger (even the shouts provided by other mods)
Should be safe to uninstall after you lose Focus
