The Telvanni Dust Adepts of Vvardenfell were powerful alteration mages who used their magic to control small particles of material, such as ash or dust. Thought to be disbanded after their exile from Vvardenfell, the adepts continued to practice their powerful ash magic in secret. On occasion the Adepts recruit mages who show promise with ash magic.
This mod reworks ash magic in Skyrim, adding a more logical casting system, and 7 new spells.
