🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure OBSE is installed and you launch the game through obse_loader.exe for the plugin to work.
This mod only affects spell magnitudes—it won't change other game mechanics, so it's safe to add to most load orders.
If you're using a mod manager like Wrye Bash, you can install it manually by dropping the .esp and .dll into your Data folder.
