A new Valheim mod that has been released online a few days ago spices up the experience considerably with a new gameplay mechanic.

The Skyheim - Valheim Magic mod introduces magic spells inspired by The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim into the game developed by Iron Gate Studio. Once the mod has been installed, bosses will drop a crafting ingredient that can be used to craft and upgrade runes that grant access to different spells.

The Skyheim - Valheim Magic mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods.

In addition to the spells themselves Skyheim adds mana as a resource and a persistent cooldown system.

Valheim is now available on PC via Steam worldwide.

Your trials begin at the disarmingly peaceful centre of Valheim, but the gods reward the brave and glory awaits. Venture forth through imposing forests and snow-capped mountains, explore and harvest more valuable materials to craft deadlier weapons, sturdier armor, viking strongholds and outposts. Build a mighty longship and sail the great oceans in search of exotic lands … but be wary of sailing too far…
