Electric Breath - Lightning-based Thu'um

Description
There's fire breath, there's frost breath but no sparkling lightning power? I always found that odd, so I've created a shout to fix that.

Strun Toor Shul - Storm Blast Sun
Cool down: 7 seconds for 1 word, 14 seconds for 2 words, 14 seconds for 3 words. Using three words causes a stagger. Electric Breath has a small area of effect and does high damage, but is difficult to aim due to the nature of lightning. You need 3 dragon souls to unlock the shout (one for each word), like most Thu'um.

Electric Breath is learned via a book rather than a spell wall, dutifully explained by a Dragon Priest, because most dragons were too lazy to ever bother using this shout.

Electric Breath can be found via the Voices of Lightning book, at the end of Highgate Ruins, on the table in front of the word wall for one of the words of Storm Call. If you can't find it in Highgate Ruins, it's also hiding in High Hrothgar.

Shouldn't conflict with anyting... I hope. Let me know if it does and I'll try and fix it.

This is my tentative first mod. Criticism is good, but go easy!

finally! I needed a shout like this!

Yep, which is a good thing.

Ah I think I worked it out. My mod edits the quest that controls the sound that plays when you shout. The other mod might do the same thing, so they overwrite one another.

Unfortunately, it'll take time for me to work out how to fix this, since I'm not really sure how quests work when it comes to shouts.

@Cloverstar214 I've had a look at my own game, testing both with getting Fire Breath first then Electric Breath second and the other way around and I can't seem to replicate your bug. Do you mean that the two words actually disappear and you can only use Yol, or that the sound disappears, or something else?

@Cloverstar214 Storm Call is a good shout but it doesn't function at all like Fire Breath and Frost Breath, which I think was a lost opportunity.

That's fine, good luck Skyrimming!

Ok well, will try to test them both soon, but don't expect an answer for up to a week or so as I am still quite new to both skyrim and mod using (other than reskins)

I didn't know that even existed. The locations are different, you kinda have to actually progress through the story to get this version, the shout has different cooldowns and power compared to Fire Breath and Frost Breath.

Been a while since I touched this. It should work, no one's reported any bugs to me and I've tested it myself a lot.

(Also words of power are supposed to be one syllable each. Miraak is excused because he got help from Hermaeous Mora.)

How is this different from Stretch1one's Shock breath? Cause they both seem to do the same thing.
Retvik  [author] Feb 4, 2016 @ 12:22am 
Well really if I wanted to stick to proper naming conventions for spells, I would have called the book Spell Tome: Lightning Breath, but oh well.
