MSO - Marco's Skyrim Overhaul

Thanks for choosing MSO!!!
Please Report any bug or suggestion you may have!

AUTHOR NOTES:
- I've recently started a new character in order to check for issues as I encounter them in a full playthrough. So expect frequent minor updates.

GENERAL STATEMENT (in response to one user's comment but nothing personal):
Last a general statement, with all the respect for your opinion please note that modders are out here to share their ideas and efforts. Every one of us has put so much effort and spent so much time in order to give something to the community... When I mean so much time I mean that probably the majority of us are working and we sacrifice our free time for you FOR FREE. Don't get me wrong I like it to be this way but before saying things like "your mod has xxx bugs please fix it asap" you could at least spend 5 minutes to read the mod description that take time to be written. Time that we could spent with girlfriend, friends or resting instead of doing this for all of you Skyrim lovers... and one last time, you are more than welcome to report bugs but please the least you can do is provide load-order, this way we can actually trying to figure it out or fix incompatibilities. Sorry for the long statement, please note it is nothing personal against you.

KNOWN ISSUES:
One user reported a crash while on Enchanting Tree, for me no problem so far. Please confirm if also for you is fine/freezing.

FUTURE PLANS:
May adding a complete Reforging Mechanics to the game. Master level Smiths will be able to reforge every single set of armour/weapon in order to get a better version.

CHANGELOG:
1.5 - Enchanting Tree rebuilt from scratch - This will fix the problem some users were having
1.4 - Added proper Lore-Friendly text "The Art of Tailoring" book (no more dummy text), added Greybeard Robes (unique clothing set) in fitting location, corrected the Dragonsreach's Inscriber Table positioning (is now properly oriented), Corrected Warm Blood Spell Tome and overall tomes value;
1.3 (prev. v3) - Added new clothes set (Thick Fur Clothes - fur armour model but count as clothes) can be tailored at the tanning rack
2. (prev. v3) - Removed unnecessary Master File

IN DEPTH DESCRIPTION:
Conc. - Concentration Type Spell
FnF -  Fire and Forget Type Spell
S.R. - Skill Requirement
00 - Novice Level Spell \ 25 - Apprentice Level Spell \ 50 - Adept Level Spell \ 75 - Expert Level Spell \ 100 - Master Level Spell

GENERAL CHANGES
- Dragon Masks are now considered as a piece of clothing and as so they cannot be tempered. They offer no armour rate and the weight is reduced to 2.
- Added Alik'r Armor and Wayrest Knight Armor two new light-armour sets (fully craftable and improvable).
- Mythic Dawn robes enchantment edited, now gives also a conjuration bonus
- Potions mechanics changed. All the potion now will give the bonus over a small amount of time:
For example, a Recover 6 points of Health potion will recover 1 points of health for 6 seconds instead of instantly give 6 points Health bonus.
- Circlets can be placed under many hoods
- All new spell tomes integrated on the appropriate level lists
- Ancient Falmer Crown count as the appropriate light-armour headpiece and is now obtainable as the other Ancient Falmer armour pieces.

1.2 CONJURATION
Spectral Arrow (50) FnF - Summon a spectral arrow that gives 30 points of damage and staggers the target (Restored from Skyrim Vanilla)
Summon Unbound Atronach (100) - Summon an even more potent Atronach to permanently fight for you.
Flame, Frost and Storm Atronachs are different in stats but they are tweaked in order to be almost even. This allows Flame Atronach to be a viable choice in late-game.
(This three spells may be quite powerful but you first need to invest a point in order to use them and then need to find it, since only 1 copy of each spell is available)
Added new Perk to allow Summon Unbound Atronach with S.R. of 100 (This Apply only for new 3 permanent summons, in fact, Atronach Thrall set of spells duration is decreased from "permanent" to 5 minutes)
This perk can only be unlocked if you have a certain item in your inventory - No spoiler, just look for it ;)

Twin soul S.R. lowered to 85, added a new rank to allow up to 3 summon (S.R. 100)

1.3 DESTRUCTION
Added three distinct Paths for each Element. I have reduced the overall Perk bonuses, in order to encourage and reward the mages willing to invest in a single element:
If you only invest in Fire Magic Perk without picking Storm or Frost related Perks you will unlock hidden bonuses.
For example, if you pick Augmented Flame and Augmented Frost you will "only" receive a 15% Damage bonus; vice-versa if you pick Augmented Flame but you didn't invest any point into other Perks related to Shok or Frost you will still receive a 15% Damage bonus but you will also unlock an extra 10% bonus.

Disintegrate Armor (75) FnF - Target Damage Resistance is Reduced by 100 pts for 15 seconds.

Entropic Burst (50) Conc. - Target takes 45 points of Health Damage per sec.

1.4 ENCHANTING
Added Scroll Crafting Mechanics to the game. Scrolls can be Crafted at the Inscribing Table (Arcane Enchanter model due to PS4 limitations).
A Scroll requires a paper roll and a filled soul gem in order to be crafted. In addition to this, the knowledge of the spell and the relative Perk point is needed.
Novice Level Spell = Filled Petty Soul Gem
Apprentice Level Spell = Filled Minor Soul Gem
Adept Level Spell = Filled Common Soul Gem
Expert Level Spell = Filled Greater Soul Gem
Master Level Spell = Filled Grand Soul Gem
Added Novice to Master Scriber Perks.
