Read Normal Books with Magic
This mod requires the Core Library

Russian Translation by Urayxor
Dutch Translation by Gothique Simmer
Mages, including Vampire Mages and Mooncasters from my other mods, can now read all books with magic.
Skill books require distinct files to function properly; these files are overrides of skill book object tunings and are not required for the mod to function with all other books.

You only need one version for the skill books:
With all the Skill Books form all the pack released so far.
For the Skill Books, only install the packs you own.

Does anyone know how you actually choose or become sage because its not letting me and i have no other mods in my game
I feel dumb in that this doesn't seem to be working for me anymore and it used to a long time ago. Yes I am using the updated files, and I checked for conflicts but it just isn't working. Is it supposed to not work for all spellcasters?
Yes it works for Spellcaster from rank 3 up. If you're using the bookcases file from security lock I added a patch on that mod to make the two work together otherwise that one prevents the interactions from this one from showing up.
Amazing! I made a Spanish Translation https://www.patreon.com/posts/leer-libros-con-86818831
I love this idea! The floating books was one of my favorite things about ROM.
Should this mod still be working? :)
No changes to the books as far as I know... I need to add the skill books from EL probably
I cannot get this mod to work. Does it need an update?
Did you install the xml injector?
Which version should I download? Should I download all of them?
Thank you very much for this update. Best regards from Austria
Hello Zero ;) Well after trying this (and some other of your great mods) I posted the information about you (with a nice picture from this mod) on Tumblr and Twitter. I couldn't found some information if you have accounts there ;( If so it would be helpful if you could share these information here on Patreon . Best regards from Austria
I do have a Tumblr but it's a side blog and quite messy https://forgottenhollow-secretgarden.tumblr.com/ thanks.
It's a wonderful mod (and something I've been waiting for since the release of ROM), but there seems to be a problem: when I try to read a skillbook using magic, the skill level doesn't go up...
Maybe there is a separate interaction I missed. I'll look into it.
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working for me. I downloaded the xml from the comments but that hasnt done it. My Spellcaster rank is maxed as well.
It works only directly on books and not from the bookcase. I already added the interaction to bookcase too but didn't have time to test it. I'll upload an update as soon as I'm done
Love this! :D
If it appears in Italian redownload it 'cause I forgot to translate the first time.
