this mod is buggy.

@DavEdward if you wanna lvl alteration with the mage armors than dont get this mod...the only way you can get xp is if you keep casting...since you no longer cast it you no longer get xp unless you use something else.

Will this mod affect your ability to level up in alteration? A similar mod to this had the breaking flaw of if I had stoneflesh on constantly, I never would level up alteration as I don't 'cast' it any more.

I've made a mod with a similar trade-off. Thumbs up for another great idea!

This was a no-brainer for my Nord Barbarian... His only magic schools are Alteration (this, Candlelight, and Transmute), Restoration (post-fight Healing & Healing Hands), and Conjuration (Bound Battleaxe for pesky Draugr Overlords and their Disarm Shouts).

Sure, his measly 100 Magicka can only just cast Oakflesh (Maintained), but it helps give a small edge without being forced to micromanage his weapons and spells in the heat of battle. (He pretty much just chugs his potions and stews and shouts "KRII LUN" while swinging his Battleaxe like the 'zerker he is.)

i cant find the maintain ebonyflesh tome at the vendors any hints as to where it might actually be?

Casting Maintained Ironflesh seems to stop all magicka regeneration completely, at least for me. Is this a known issue?

Thx, will try that if needed. I guess i will find that book sooner or later, when going to a new town in Skyrim. One thing, perhaps you could turn off the glowing light around the character when one of these armor spells is active. Not very important but I find it really not nice to see me with that permanent green aura ... That's why i was looking for the dispel armor spell by the way.

If you have already visited a vendor prior to installing the addon, you will likely have to wait several in-game days away from the store using "T" for the vendor to reset. An alternative that is more complex is to use the console. Use ' to bring up the console then type "help dispel" (without quotes) and press enter to get the numeric id of the spell (ignore the tome). Then type "player.addspell" followed by that number then push enter. You will magically learn Dispel Armor.

Good idea, but so far i can't find a dispel armor spell ... Been in 3-4 magic items / spell resellers, but i don't see it.

You use up approximately one third of your magicka regeneration (leaving two thirds) while concentrating. It varies somewhat because of the way the toolset handles magicka debuffs, it is not a straight magnitude-->percentage conversion.

Can someone tell me the percentage hit to magic regen rate? That's the one VITAL bit of information missing from the description.

@Wykdwolffie
IIRC, vendors have a cycle for restocking. They are either 24 hours (1 day), 72 hours (3 days), or even up to a week. Check back at a vendor after those times if you are not using a clean save.

How does this effect how/when Alteration levels? Do you get credit per enemy that aggros?

I don't see this @ The Riverwood Trader. Is it only in some vendors?

I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but it appears that using the maintained armor spells does not increase alteration skill. Not just when it's maintained (would be a bit op if you gained skill whenever it was active), but when I cast it, during battle. Otherwise, this takes a lot of the monotony of recasting flesh spells out of the game. Much appreciated :D

Fantastic! Brilliant! Other flattery!
