[SEARCH] Hot keys Mod

[N.Gamma]

Hello,
I finally decided to install Skyrim SE and to experience Skyrim again from the beginning.

This time I decided to play Skyrim as a mage. However, I was soon bothered by the fact that you can only cast 2 spells (right and left hand).

So my question is, is there a mod that lets you cast more spells by using hot keys, like in MMORPG's using the number keys.

There are several ways to do it. I play LE, but there is a bunch of mods available for both:

1st - Smart cast. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/32847

Basicly a neccecity, conditionally autocasts those cloak spells/mage armors and whatever else you just cant be bothered with. Works smoothly with spell mods like apocalypse or forgotten magic, even grants XP for spells form latter. And it comes with a simple yet robust system allowing you to bind spells to rings, and those rings - to hotkeys. It worked couple of times i used it, thou autocast it the most valuable feature of that mod.

2nd - AH hotkeys https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/15761

This one is a little less user friendly, but its basicly all-in-one hotkey mod, covering all your hotkey needs. I use that one and it works flawlessly, albeit on really heavy builds script lag can add a noticeable delay, at least in LE.

 Those two shall cover pure mage casting needs, although if you dont mind getting a close and personal once in a while, following options for hybrids do work smoothly:

Option A - Battlemage https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17575

This one is lightweight and seem to be immune to script lag, but it is somewhat limited. It does its thing reliably well, and comes with no fluff at all, doesnt even have MCM. Combined with something like Spellfury (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34121 ), it effectively turn any mellee weapon into arcane conduit, giving you spell magnitude based on weapon quality and casting spells on power attacks. Does work with Forgotten Magic and Apocalypse. However, i wasnt able to make it work with non-vanilla unecnahted staffs or with some custom spells from spell crafting mod (this one: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19697 ) Also Battlemage doesnt have sound for casting, -20 immersion.

Option B -Spellblade is another option people widely go for, i have very limited experience with that one, but it seem to be the choice of the people https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20754

@nilead Thanks, I think the second mod is exactly what I'm looking for.
