Spells Give Off Light

Description
I DID IT!!!!!!! well, kind of. I fixed the shadows not being lit up. it is a simple ini tweak, go to skyrimPrefs.ini and under [Display] change "bDeferredShadows=1 to 0. now spells will light up shadows. Also, this mod i have found is EXTREMELY incompatible with more dynamic shadows, lights will randomly go off in the environment from shadowed light overload.

Spells now give off light when they are equipped, like flames and lightning should. All Spells Covered. For more versions of this mod, mainly smaller radius versions, visit my nexus page-

Minor performance hit on some computers depending on shadow setting, its an unavoidable issue, as only shadowed lights work for casting light from a spell

This mod does have some engine limitations, them being :
Will not always work indoors
Must have shadowed lights to cast light

I have unsubscribed from this mod, but the effect is still present. Anyone else have this issue?

BTW, I noticed that your hands will cast shadows because spells give off light through fingers. That is very impressive. Overall it's a very immersive mod.

I'm using Realistic Lighting, and this mod works well outdoors. But it often goes off in dungeons where it's most needed. (T_T)

ever heard of the Ring of Candlelight mod?
Kudos to this one and its immersive additition to the game, but if you just want light, get the ring mod
