Spells scale with skill level

Description
Picture description: (the picture is a courtesy from Utopolis) this is what you'll see with cloak spells, but don't worry, it's a lie.


IMPORTANT: the damage from the cloak spells will scale, but you won't see the increase in the description unless you have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch. The same is true with wall spells, but this time even with the USKP you won't see the description change. I won't change this, because I would have to change the spells and this would make the mod incompatible with mods that change spells.
NOTE: as a side effect, to make the mod compatible with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, I have copied from it the effect (found in the same perk that I edited) that adds daggers to the weapons that benefit from the increase in One-Handed skill, hopefully that won't change anything for you.

This mod increases the power of spells if the relative skill is raised, this should make low level spells useful even in the end-game.
It adds effects to the PerkSkillBoosts perk, which is the invisible perk used to provide skill level bonuses from all skills, so it should be compatible with all the mods that don't touch that perk (it should be compatible with Leveling Perks (Original)). It will also affect all new spells (from mod or expansions), provided that they belong to one of the vanilla schools (Alteration, Destruction, etc.), so it should work for the new Dawnguard spells.

Formulas used:

-Alteration:
Spell Duration is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Spell Magnitude is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01 (won't affect Dragonhide)
- Conjuraton:
Spell Duration is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Spell Magnitude is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Bound Weapons damage: Base+SkillLevel*0.05 (every 20 levels you get +1 damage bonus)
- Destruction:
Spell Duration is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Spell Magnitude is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
- Illusion:
Spell Duration is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Spell Magnitude is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
- Restoration:
Spell Duration is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01
Spell Magnitude is multiplied by 1+SkillLevel*0.01

If you have suggestions you are very welcome to make them.


If you don't like this scaling system here are a few mods that do the same or a similar thing in different ways, that may be more to your taste:

Is it possible for you to make this mod useable for Skyrim Special Edition please?

Great, thank you! That should fix illusion builds.

@solidus.457 at 100 skill level an illusion spell will be twice as powerful and last twice as long than it would be witout the mod.
So I don't know the level, but it should be twice the level at which it becomes useless without the mod.

Can I ask what level a duel cast level 100 illusion spell can affect? Illusion needs this scaling most out of the schools, it becomes irrelevant fast.

Is this compatible with Ordinator? I've been hunting around since I want to play a necromancer/conjurer master style and the bound weapons aren't strong enough on their own .3.

So...can I calm (or whatever the high-end version of "calm" is) dragons now?

WAY Too overpowered if i'm too be honest.

If I had 100 skill in all schools of magic what would the total increase be in all the schools? Would it be a 50% increase in power and magnitude 0or something else? Flames: 30 fire damage per second?
