Me talking about my new mod for 20 min

[@ohdeararat7947]

For the life of me, I could NOT figure out Spellsiphon. This is PRECISELY what I needed. I also see you uploaded it to Xbox One. Thank you sooo much!

[@arctalmods9546]

Some stuff i forgot to mention in the video: - Applying the enchantments costs magicka to balance the advantage of double overlayed enchantments and the additional effects these provide. - The damage and cost of all effects shown here scale by destruction skill and are affected by destruction perks. - It works on bound weapons too. - The lightning strikes from the "sky" work indoors as well, it's coded in a way that will make them come from the roof instead. - The frost enchant has 1 additional effect beyond the cracking/brittle thing. It also reduces frost resistance of struck enemies to 0 for 20s, allowing you to actually use frost spells in Skyrim without feeling nerfed against all the most common enemy types (draugr, dwemer machines, undead, nords, etc.). - The effects on enemies (ignite, frost resist down, lightning strike) are mutually exclusive. Applying one will dispel any others on that enemy. So you won't be rewarded for cycling enchants constantly to stack as many effects as possible. Instead the idea is to pick the most fitting enchant for the current situation. You can have different effects rolling on different enemies though.

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

Perhaps make it so the affects only apply if you swing a certain distance?

[@sparkthefloofyprotogen3556]

Do chaos enchantments work as well? It’s the combo enchant that’s does all 3 of the elements either all at once or one at a time depending on your rng for the strike Edit: realized this would be hard to do unless someone made a chaos spell, but follow up question would this mod work with the creation club elemental spells? I think the ones in that mod are a mix of all three elements all at once

I really like this. I've messed with all the "spellsword" mods. So far my top 3 are Spellsword (of course lol), the Flamebringer (more dedicated towards a complete character overhaul but still really fun... and looks great too!), and Spellsiphon (kind of cheating with this one, but since it has weapon imbuing, I include it). This one seems to be like a way more focused version of Spellsword. I'm glad I discovered you man!

[@FilthyCasualVR]

Dude your VR mods are incredible lol. Thank you!

[@talon4618]

This will make a fine addition to my Thor-like character playthrough.

[@tobiramasenju7462]

I have been a stealth archer build since the 1st time I played skyrim and this and spellsiphon have completely changed the game for me

[@cali9fiftyone]

I can not wait to add this to my combat mod list ! Thanks for making this! I going to try this out tonight ..

[@firemyst9064]

Love the title. Brand new, no idea, youtube told me this was next, but it looks cool.

[@arctalmods9546]

Heh, well it's out now and has quite a few changes from what i talked about here, the core is the same though! Feel free to check it out if you're interested :)

[@sven717]

bro you made skyrim vr soo much better❤ i mean this is "just" one cyrcle of the whole chain, but i its a big cyircle! many wonderful mods like these make skyrim vr from unplayable to crazy immersive and payfull *o* i thank people like you so much for the work you put in to this(for free)!!❤ thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

[@genxmonk70]

I like Conduit. Thank you for the fun!

[@cendresaphoenix1974]

It would be funny if you made it so that mage light makes the sword glow dumbly bright and makes you alert enemies nearby. As for healing you could just make it so it heals you via the handle and damages the undead better. On a side note 😅 what about invisibility?... 🥺✨😈 Anyway I think this is a pretty freaking cool mod and you should definitely keep at it... Maybe make illusion not a terrible spell tree like in DnD. Honestly there are so many ways make illusion spells good like maybe summon a fake dragon, place a fake wall, or maybe an illusion of a lady to distract guards... Sorry just ranting away at this point. 👉👈

[@arctalmods9546]

Healing is already released and you're quite close with your idea here :) You can check the mod page for the mechanics and there's a demo video of the visuals here on the channel. A general "Arcane" conduction that affects illusion (and everything else currently without its own condiction) is now out as well. Oh, and the next version will add light emissions to conductions. Once i get to releasing that. Currently taking a little break :)

[@Monniers]

Hi, i discovered you from your spellsyphon mod, one of my favourite mods ever, paired with Legacy of the Dragonborn and Project Proteus, and now all your released mods are a staple in my mod list. Im very excited for this new release too, and it seems that the quality level will be very high this time too! Keep up the amazing work, you're doing great man! Very curious if this is planned to interact in some way with World, Life and Death from spellsyphon. Have a nice day

[@lukehorta5115]

Amazing stuff as always. I wonder if it's possible to make it so it triggers the effect by using both mouse click power attack similar to dual dagger's power attack. On non VR edition ofc.

[@arctalmods9546]

Thanks! I'm unsure. I'm fairly sure that I'll need to make an SKSE dll (which i have yet to learn how to do) in order to input block the left and right click and delay them a bit to determine if you pressed both close together. That would also cause a bit of input lag ofc. And for those that want to attack and cast at the same time, there would be some accidental activation risk. I could skip the input block which would mean that you would start swinging and casting while you enchant like this, but that could probably be a bit impractical. The other advantage of just doing button press detection is that it will require SKSE but not a dll. That kind of SKSE usage i do have the knowledge for. It will mean i need to do some splitting between PC and XBox versions though which is a bit cumbersome... But maybe it wont be too bad.

[@lukehorta5115]

@@arctalmods9546 Understood bro, I think it worked just fine when using dual wield power attack despite any input lag issue but I'm unfamiliar with everything you're talking about (the technical stuff) Anyway there's no need to do this unless you really want/think it will be for the good. Lol

[@miloskorica5126]

Wow,amazing !!! Ty so much !! :))

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4545]

Edit: nevermind, I just moved it up in my load order and disabled and re enabled it and it works now I'm trying to use it on Xbox, but whenever I click "conduit power: not learned" to learn it I just get kicked out of the little menu and nothing happens (the menu doesn't change to say it's learned either). Do you know how I can fix it? Or is there a requirement to learn it that I missed?

[@reapersregret9641]

I downloaded the mod for Xbox but can't for the life on me get it to spawn in vendors. Been to the college and all. Uninstalled it and reinstalled a few times. Changed around in load order. Is there something I'm missing to get the book to spawn in the game

[@Northstruck]

I downloaded your mod but cannot find any spell vendors with conduit

[@Steinsdomain]

First of all, AMAZING mod! I just started playing skyrim vr and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite abilities as my Mad Mage character Second, if youre ever looking to work on this mod in the future, how possible would it be to change the activation action in VR? Instead of applying the spell whenever you grab the weapon, I was thinking something like you grab the weapon and then slide the spell hand down the blade/handle a little bit to apply the effect? It would technically be an extra step in the activation process, but I think it would feel cool

[@arctalmods9546]

Thanks, that's great to hear! I unfortunately cant really modify the physical interaction at all. I'm only piggybacking off HIGGS grab mechanic so it would be Atom (flyingparticle) that would have to add a "sliding" possibility along with adding events when that happens. Think there's quite a few things higher on his prio list though. What you can do right now is bind the Conduct Power to a swipe left/right gesture via VRIK and then swipe your hand across your weapon to enchant it. This will ofc require you to "roleplay" the act of syncing your weapon and spell hands but it's all i can recommend atm.

[@nathanieltillman2355]

Reading the description in Nexus, Am I right in thinking that all your mods will work together? This will make Spellsiphon incredible. The fact that it will also work with weapon throw vr is also crazy. I am looking forward to using this with throwing axes when you have that update. until then swords will do nicely. Your mods are so badass it makes VR a different game. Thank you.

[@arctalmods9546]

Missed this comment earlier! But yes, all my mods are compatible and all the Conduit effects can be triggered with Spellsiphon spells :) Also, axes, maces and daggers are already supported. I integrated them between this video and the official release. Didnt think I'd have the time when i mentioned it here but turns out i did.

[@NoTalker_]

Wait the healing spell don't heal me?

[@joshalmightyblades]

Can it work for Two handed Wepons? Please respond soon if you can. Thank you so much!

[@FilthyCasualVR]

Bro WHAT? Does this work on spellsiphon bound weapons?

[@Just-Ventras]

Great Mod i love it it super fun to use i do catch myself disableing my spells instead of grabbing but thats nothing bad i realy like the feeling it gives me in vr to just infuse my weapons with my spells one sidenote question tho i see those beatuful Menu Textures and also Controller Retextures would u be so kind and tell me those Mod names if u dont mind Highly Aprecciatet

[@arctalmods9546]

Glad to hear it :) Do you mean you're "sheathing" when trying to grip the weapon? In that case I'd recommend you look into some alternate controller bindings. Gonna shamelessly plug my own "Vanilla Hotkeys for Oculus Touch" here :) You dont even need to use the hotkey part of it, can just use all the freed up keys for other stuff like vrik gestures, spell wheel, etc. The menu textures are from Dear Diary VR and the controller textures are Rallys work here: www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16541 Enjoy :)

How is your gameplay so smooth? What mods do you use for stability?

[@arctalmods9546]

Skyrim VR requires quite a lot of tweaks to run well. Not just mods but ini tweaks and stuff like open composite if you have a oculus/meta headset. I'd recommend you look into the FUS wabbajack auto-installer to just one-click-fix everything for you. Save yourself the headache of figuring all this shit out

@@arctalmods9546 amazing. My goal is to make an undead hybrid spell sword character using sacrosanct, growl, and undeath, along with tainted blood of the Dragonborn. My last question I saw it said modded spells will work as long as they are elemental, and from another reply you sent me that’s perfect I downloaded a mod called singularity, it’s an endgame spell mostly fire with some lightning mixed in that effectively just creates a tear in space time and annihilates anything in a certain radius with fire and lightning. Just cool for rp to imbue that into my blade I suppose
