Interesting Idea for Magicka Sabers

[Buster89]

this thread is based on this mod: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/3174//?

 

so i got an idea, this is mainly for people who want a challenge if you don't want challenge then this isn't for you.

 

so first off to explain, the magicka sabers are easy to get and are quite powerful, and i was thinking of adding quests to get them and perks skills etc based off the sabers

 

so heres the story

 

you are a mage and are learning the magics, and decide you want training with Magicka Sabers, but this isn't easy. Magicka sabers are powerful weapons and require a balance in magicka and consciousness. to explain this magicka sabers draw magicka from you when you use them if you use them to much or kill to much with the saber you will receive an imbalance in consciousness and magicka and this imbalance can cause you to uncontrollably cast spells and kill people at random. to balance this you need to rest and meditate, to do this you must find a peaceful spot, this means eliminate all hostiles in the area, and then meditate for a period of time to restore balance in consciousness and magicka. this is tough for a first time learner and need many months of training and experience before wielding such a weapon, those who are lucky are granted the ability to wield this weapon, most who are unfortunate are sent to an asylum deep under skyrim after they go completely insane after a imbalance of magicka and consciousness. 

 

how the magicka sabers work:

 

first off there is a soul gem in the sabers hilt that draws magicka power from your body and running out of magicka is what causes the imbalance, there are special soul gems inside of them that are only obtainable through fighting and defeating draugr mages which are hard to find. only a few remain in skyrim. once enough magicka is stored within the gem the saber stops drawing magicka power from your body. if the magicka saber runs out of magicka it will then again draw more magicka from you....so be careful when its almost empty and conserve enough magicka so you don't become imbalanced between consciousness and magicka because these sabers will draw a good portion of your magicka.

 

also your are attuned to your saber if it is ever misplaced and lost it will teleport to you if it breaks the soul gem will rejuvenate itself by using any magicka stored in the saber using emergency magicka backup that you give it when you first get the saber.

 

ok now on the the perks and skills

 

the skill set will be called "Magicka Saber Attunement"

 

first will be: Novice Magicka Saber Wielding 0/5

 

if anyone could come up with any more ideas for perks quests or anything good that would be great!
