This mod will add set items to Oblivion like the ones in games such as Dungeon Siege 2 and Diablo 2: the more of a set you've got equiped, the more bonus effects you receive. See the included document for a complete item and bonus listing.

This mod will add set items to Oblivion like the ones in games such as Dungeon Siege 2 and Diablo 2: the more of a set you've got equiped, the more bonus effects you receive. See the included document for a complete item and bonus listing.

So far, this mod includes two sets, one designed for Thieves and the other for Mages. I did this mod because I find the items in Oblivion to be a bit bland compared to other RPGs. The two main item factors missing are prefixes and sets. Since prefixes/suffixes are essentially impossible to add, I started this set item mod. Nothing makes me more excited in an RPG than finding that set item loot. And nothing requires more decision than choosing to break a set. But hopefully, my items and bonuses are so unique and powerful (though not godly) that you won't have to go through those decisions. This mod is best suited for new characters.

-Added Mage Set Quest with redecorated dungeon and new bosses.
-Added Mage (Brilliant) Set with new robe, gloves and hood texture; spells and powers; and scripted enchantments.

-Removed some thief set chests.
-Added golden particle effect on chests containing set items.
-Fixed the shadow set NPC follow package. she doesn't follow out of the city now.
-Changed the gauntlets mesh for the thief set.
-Improved forget minor crimes effect. it's now an ability.
-Fixed forget minor crimes effect not ending when hood unequipped. (may need additional hotfix for upgrades?)
-Improved item randomization.
-Added a ton of other new content.

This makes ranged shock damage spells travel at lightning speed. I made this mod because I thought it sucked that the shock spells looked more like a sneeze than a lightning bolt. This mod makes the lightning projectile about six times faster, meaning it can go about 100m in a second. So it's not quite lightning speed, but if it was set any higher, you wouldn't see the bolt at all.

This makes ranged shock damage spells travel at lightning speed. I made this mod because I thought it sucked that the shock spells looked more like a sneeze than a lightning bolt. This mod makes the lightning projectile about six times faster, meaning it can go about 100m in a second. So it's not quite lightning speed, but if it was set any higher, you wouldn't see the bolt at all.

This obviously means that you won't be able to dodge the shock damage bolts. To balance that fact out, I made all shock damage spells cost 20% more magicka. This was preferable to lowering the damage of all ranged shock damage spells in the game, which wouldn't affect other mods with shock spells anyways.

Since the shock damage spells still looked like sneezes, albeit fast sneezes, I also spent some time modifying the visual effects. The bolt effect is based off of Vortex's Shock Animation Change mod, which has a single blue-ish bolt. I made the bolt about eight times longer, though. Additionally, I changed the stock hit shader to have more of the shock texture and fewer, faster particles.

Short Version
• Shock Damage bolt is six times faster
• Shock Damage bolt can't be dodged
• Shock Damage spells cost ~20% more magicka
• Only one bolt that is eight times longer
• Fewer and faster hit particles (slight fps boost on low-end machines)
• Longer, pulsing hit texture

In version 1.1, a vastly updated version of mrflippy's Lightning Strikes mod was included because it is now much prettier with this lightning mod. The mod is included as a separate plugin, so the user can decide whether they want to use it or not. See the included readme for more information on that mod.

1.11 - Removed leftover debug message
1.1 - Included updated version of mrflippy's Lightning Strikes mod
1.0 - First Release
