Spell, Effects, Magic Graphic Enhancements

Mods that enhance spell, effect, and magic graphics by replacing or adding meshes, textures, icons, etc.

Better Magic Icons by Tapani_doe

Tapani_doe always hated those ugly blue swirls around enchanted items. These are his better magic icons.

Blue Dot Magic Icons by Andoreth

A simple tweak that will change the large "blue swirl" icon that denotes magic items with a small bright blue dot in the upper left corner. Andoreth feels this is the best of both worlds: allowing the player to see their magical items without the interference of a background image, but still indicate which items are "magical" and which are "mundane".

Enchanted Icon Selection by Nigedo

Offers a selection of alternative highlights to replace the blue swirl that identifies the icons of enchanted items in Morrowind. Primarily, this still allows you to distinguish easily between enchanted and ordinary items in your inventory, but also allows you to see the individual enchanted items more clearly. Credit goes to Andoreth for implementing the original idea in his "Blue Dot Magic Icons" mod. Nigedo also incorporated Andoreth's 'uninstall' folder.

Magic Effect Elemental Glow by Vinz75

Readme in French

This mod changes the color of the magic glow for enchanted item according to the effect used for enchanting. Fire damage emits an orange glow, cold damage emits a light blue glow, lightning emits a white glow, poison emits a brown/green glow, damage health emits a red glow, protection spells emit a very light yellow glow, and other non-damaging spells emit a very light blue-gray glow.

Magic Icons (Vivid Colors) by Unknown

Replace those vague blobs of Daedric letters that passed for spell icons before with something

a little more meaningful, though perhaps not as pretty.

Max's Glow

A variant of the popular no-glow concept. Makes the glow of the enchanted items look like small flashes of electricity.

New Fire Damage Effect by Mad DJ

Potentially dirty, may require cleaning

Replaces the fire damage hit effect with a better looking effect, which may cause framerate slowdown.

New (Improved) Magic Shimmer Effect (or Reduced Intensity Version) by Tclord

A new improved magic shimmer effect replacement for Morrowind. Tclord think it looks more like the item has electric arcs dancing over it like it's crackling with energy. Is it better? Well, give it a try and judge for yourself. The reduced intensity version does exactly what it says, and is also called "Magic Item Shimmer Effect Redux."

New Shield VFX by Vilkacis

Adds a new shield effect.

No-Glo by Cu

A quick little change to remove the glow effect from all your magic items. Now you can be inconspicuous once more.

No-Glo Revisited by ShraX

Requires Tribunal, Bloodmoon

Edits the original No-Glo mod by including the spell effects found in Bloodmoon (Call Bear and Call Wolf).

Spectre Twilight by RedwoodTreesprite

A ghostly retexture of the Winged Twilight creature, using modified bone and skull textures from Morrowind. The Summoned Ancestral Ghost nif is replaced with the Spectre Twilight nif, so all summoned Ancestral Ghosts will be Spectre Twilights. The stats of the Ancestral Ghost are exactly the same, only the nif has been changed. The Spectre Twilight is also a modder resource. You are welcome to use her in mods.
