DESCRIPTION
============
NEW REQUIREMENTS IN 1.1.0 AND ABOVE: READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MagicLoader is required for the new pocket dimension in version 1.1.0, you
will have to ensure that the MagicLoader folder is installed in the Data folder
where your .esp and .esm files are located, and to run MagicLoader prior to
running it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welkynd Stones. Not particularly useful. This mod changes that. It adds a spell called "Welkynd Magicraft" that enables the player to open either the Enchanting or Spellcrafting menus anywhere in the world, at the cost of one Welkynd Stone per use. It is intended to be something that adds a bit of fun and convenience without being too immersion-breaking.
Spell allows Transmutation between Welkynd Stones and Common Soul Gems, and vice versa. Can now Meld Soul Gems and Welkynd Stones.
You can now sacrifice a Welkynd or Varla stone to roll random items in 1.0.6 and Emancipate Souls from Soul Gems to receive an empty soul gem and a gold payout in 1.0.7.
Can do Welkynd Casting as an unlock from having the Magic from the Skies book in your inventory in 1.0.8
In 1.0.9 you can unlock Soul Magic by acquiring the Tome of Unlife. This allows for "Soul Extraction" which is a forbidden alternative to emancipating souls. Be forewarned, tampering with the power of souls can lead to some unintended consequences...
NEW IN 1.1.2:
NL tags removed in the base version requiring MagicLoader, the Astral Void containers are now accessible via a spell, and there is an Extract Soul spell similar to soul trap that allows you to extract bottled souls from living things on death, and you can now imbue empty soul gems with the bottled souls in the Soul Magic menu, enabling players a renewable source of script-usable filled soul gems.
===========
SPELL UNLOCK
===========
First, head over to The First Edition in the Imperial City and purchase a Dusty Grimoire. It will be required for unlocking the spell.
Collect a minimum of 10 Welkynd Stones with the book in your inventory to unlock the spell. Make sure you have 10 at once in your inventory, then you're golden.
There may be some secrets involving the book "Magic From the Skies" that will be revealed to you if you have it in your inventory after the 10-stone unlock.
===========
MANUAL INSTALLATION
===========
WARNING: Installation will be different for non-Steam versions of the game! I do not own said versions or know what the file paths look like for those versions, make sure you know the right file path structure when installing it on a non-Steam version!
Step 1: Extract the contents of the archive to "Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData", the Data folder should merge with the already existing one in that path!
Step 2: Add "Welkynd Magicraft.esp" to the Plugins.txt file in the Data folder. Load order matters!
