You should only be downloading one version of this file, using both may cause issues. The changes from version 1 will be marked in the description below. To clarify, all of the listed changes below this point are in version 2. As such, the original version with the largely untouched birthsigns from version 1 will remain available for download. However, I also took some liberties and went beyond basics with certain signs that I felt to be dull or in need of a complete overhaul.

In my attempt to complete this task I tried to stay as close to vanilla as possible whilst also considering balance. In version 2 I've continued to assess racials and, much moreso, birthsigns, attempting to bring the untouched signs up to a point where they can compete more effectively with the altered caster signs and be more useful in general.

I've also touched up racial bonuses in general, all whilst trying to keep as close to vanilla as possible. My intentions with these changes are fairly simple Bring Breton and Altmer more in line with other races whilst also liberating the magically inclined playstyles from those characters by redistributing the total magicka bonuses into the caster-oriented birthsigns instead of races, all with as little mud-tracking on the carpet as possible.

Because of this I decided to pick up the Construction Set myself for the first time and do some minor doctoring. This isn't even mentioning the imbalance of those classes for being pure spellcasters when compared to the other races. The Breton are infamous for their staggering 50% resistance to all outside magical effects while, comparatively to Breton, The Altmer's handling of weaknesses to the elements next to its fortify magicka bonus is a little silly. I find that the way the vanilla game handles racials and birthsigns, especially when it comes to the magical arts to be, well. Announcement: I've added a Recommended Mods and Installation section!
