Besides the novice spells which are available in Riverwood Trader the rest can be purchased from the Khajiit Traders, Khajiit Traders traveling between Whiterun and Markarth carry Novice and Apprentice spells from all trees, Khajiit Traders traveling between Whiterun and Markarth carry Novice and Apprentice spells from all trees, traders traveling between Riften and Dawnstar carry Adept and Expert spells, traders traveling between Windhelm and Solitude carry the Master spells.

Version History:

---------------------
Version 2.00

- Complete rework of all spells
- Deleted no longer compatible spells that might be added in the future
- Added new spells

Version 1.10

- Added Ancient Spells.bsa file
- Added Mark and Recall ** spell and scrolls (scrolls can be purchased in Whiterun)
- Added Open Lock on Target Spells (Easy, Average, Hard and Very Hard)

!Warning! Mark and Recall spells are fine to use but make sure you arent in the midle of a forced quest, this might damage your quest progression, use with caution!

Version 1.04

- Added some fixes and new spells:

- Spectral Arrow (This one is from Skyrim but was never implemented, implemented and moved it to the illusion tree since it makes more sense there than in conjuration)
- Vigor (in Skyrim it makes you move faster)
- Mass Soultrap
- Daylight
- Shockbloom
- And 3 more spells

Version 1.03

- Fixed a bug where a vendor would not sell a leveled spells.
- Added 2 Adept alteration spells.

- Icarian Flight **
- Slowfall

You can find a scroll of Icarian Flight on the floor in Riverwood and you can purchase a scroll of slowfall in riverwood, the books are available on the respective leveled sellers.

** Due to the nature of the game engine and like it happened in Oblivion when using this spell you will be able to go through obstacles (no collition data) and is possible to rarely get inside a dungeon so save before using, if you go inside a dungeon while flying try to use slowfall spell or the console (player.setposition Z valuehere) to reset your character, you should save before using the spell to avoid any unwanted outcomes.
!Warning! Some jumps will make your character go across huge distances, the game might crash if your computer canĀ“t handle the fast zone changes.

Version 1.02

- Fixed some spells not giving the proper ammount of skill experience, thanks to Heimdall2020 for reporting this bug.

Version 1.01

- Added the first 40+ spells to leveled spell merchants, balanced all effects.
---------------------

Thats all, please enjoy the mod, this mod is an ongoing project and will be updated but in a way so no save files are render unusable.
