TK Combat
This mod adds a series of special moves which consume Magicka.
They are similar to “magic sword” abilities found in other games.
I created this mod using only animations and visual effects found in vanilla Skyrim.
Description
This mod adds a series of special moves which consume Magicka. They are similar to “magic sword” abilities found in other games. I created this mod using only animations and visual effects found in vanilla Skyrim.
Goal
The purpose of this mod is to improve the player’s combat experience, like “TK Dodge” and “TK HItsStop”.
It is an experimental mod. Finally, I will plan to create as another mod which player adds attack animation without magic before long.
Have you ever found switching spells in Skyrim annoying? That is the reason why I started to make this mod.
This mod aims to improve the combat in Skyrim (a little) by integrating magic skill with weapon attacks.
You know, like you get in other video games.
It also has some “special moves” which enhance normal attacks, for example “Pursuit”, “Shield Breaker” and more. See below for detailed descriptions.
My goal is to achieve a modest balance, not to cheat. I really hope you will enjoy using these special moves.
Power and magicka cost can be adjusted to your liking by using the MCM menu.

How to Use
You can customize in MCM.
– Input Mode
Choose operation to use the special moves.
1. Directional Key mode:
Directional key + Action key (default: V).
I. Press the Action Key (default: V); or,
II. Press a directional key and then the Action key.
PLEASE REMEMBER:
When using an attack with a directional key, press it first before the Action key. Otherwise, the attack will not work.
The mode is recommended for keyboard users. When the mod loads the first time, if the mod detects that you are using a keyboard this option will be selected by default.
2. Gamepad mode:
Analog stick + actionkey(default : RB).
The mode is the only mode which actually works with a gamepad/Xbox controller.
It will be selected by default when the mod loads for the first time if it recognizes that you are using a gamepad.
RB button is already assigned “shout”.So I recommend this mod use with a key remap mod (e.g.. Skyrim Pad Config, Simple Custom Controller Map, Xbox360 Controller KeyRemap).
3. 5 Hotkeys mode:
Quick and easy. Free key binding, and one-push activation.
For example, F1:Actionkey. (“Neutral” special moves, which is like “Night Orb” or “Rain of Arrow”) F2: ForwardKey (“Teleport” or “Revenge” etc.)?
“Direction” is custom setting to change directional bindings of special moves.
For example, changing “Forward” to backward, The archer will get “multishot” activated instead of “Teleport” for that key.
At present one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, bows, crossbows and shields are usable with this mod.
Most damage dealt by these moves is dependent on the player’s skill in destruction. In turn, they will increase the player’s destruction skill.
These are “friendly fire” moves which will not hurt your followers.
Unlike normal spells, the cost of performing these special moves can never be decreased.
As long as you have enough magicka you will be able to execute them from the beginning of the game, although their power will be weak.
Special Moves
