A new mod has received glowing reviews from the Skyrim community after seriously improving the magic combat.
Arcanum, by modder Kosorsomesaykosm, adds a whole load of new spells which are all specifically designed to ‘serve a specific function within each of Skyrim’s schools of magic, and that by combining or focusing in these schools you can discover new combos that fit your particular playstyle’, reports PC Games N.
The modder has said that around 100 of the 300 planned new spells are implemented in the mod. Most of those are available from spell vendors. However, there are some that are trickier to find, and you have to complete challenges to get them – such as slaying dragons or through spellcrafting.
There’s even some master spells that control the weather – this is seriously impressive stuff.
If you fancy checking it out yourself, head on to Arcanum over at Nexus Mods, where the 0.4b version is currently available. Kosorsomesaykosm reckons that the next big update will be available in mid-March.
In similar news, over on Reddit one Skyrim fan has shared a passion for collecting in-game cheese in a thread that’s pure comedy gold.

Seems like a fun way to relax in Skyrim!
Reddit being Reddit, players immediately jumped onto the post with some of the best (or worst, depending on how you like your humour) cheese puns we’ve ever seen.
“This gave me a Gouda laugh,” replied one user.
The OP, ctcourt, chimed in with: “I had to kill a lot of muensters to get them.”
We have to give props to the gamer who asked: “Wheel you be collecting more?”
Getting fed up of the cheesy responses, someone raged: “I’m feta up with these ridiculous puns. And you’ve not a chedda remorse for making them?”
Skyrim makes me so hungry for like, a big hearty stew and a wedge of cheese and big thick slices of crusty bread

The hilarity came to a halt when one Redditor reminded us all its “no biggie, don’t cheddar tear for this.”
