Description
I DID IT!!!!!!! well, kind of. I fixed the shadows not being lit up. it is a simple ini tweak, go to skyrimPrefs.ini and under [Display] change "bDeferredShadows=1 to 0. now spells will light up shadows. Also, this mod i have found is EXTREMELY incompatible with more dynamic shadows, lights will randomly go off in the environment from shadowed light overload.

Spells now give off light when they are equipped, like flames and lightning should. All Spells Covered. For more versions of this mod, mainly smaller radius versions, visit my nexus page-

Minor performance hit on some computers depending on shadow setting, its an unavoidable issue, as only shadowed lights work for casting light from a spell

This mod does have some engine limitations, them being :
Will not always work indoors
Must have shadowed lights to cast light

This looks really cool, I'll add it to my collection once you've patched out more bugs.

It gives a strong light, and you can't see this light in the shadow tree, stone, roof, etc.

The reason it works and doesn't for everyone is because the mod is basing the light being cast off of natural light in the game. That's why if you're moving around an NPC, they'll be lit up and then not lit up. Other than that small annoyance, I love this mod! Added another level of immersion for me :3

This mod isn't handy for a stealth mage ;-)

It works fine for me, except that sometimes it doesn't ... ehm how to explain, like when I am in a cave, sometimes the spell will give off light, sometimes it won't. I have no idea why and it's not a big deal, I am just letting you know, in case you can fix it. Other than that it's super handy and I enjoy it a lot :)

Please fix the crashes and bugs. This is a great idea and it looks awesome but it needs some work.

Looks awesome but my game gets sluggish when this is on.
