I wanted to play some Skyrim. And instead I ended up getting drawn into, well, drawing my current character.

Meet Ahk-li, an Argonian apprentice of the college of Winterhold. Having been born with way too much magicka potential, she ended up learning how to shoot lightning at an early age.

At a certain point she had managed to channel so much of it at once that, one: she discovered Arclight, and two: she ended up with a permanent imprint of the element all across her body. Patterns that start glowing with power the moment she channels even the slightest amount of Magicka, which makes her an admittedly terrible sneaker.

She basically ended up all but blowing herself up with her own magic and only survived due to her as-of-yet undiscovered Dragon blood.

All of that lead to her getting sent to Winterhold for tutelage with a recent ship, as her father had some acquaintance with some of the masters of the college in the past.

I've recently bumped into this little mod here. It basically just adds a toggle that makes it so that specific RaceMeny overlays you pick fade out when not in combat and fade in when they are in combat.

Example

Makes for a rather rad effect, and I don't think I've seen anyone talk about this mod anywhere so might as well share it.
