If only using a fireball on wild boar would drop ready-cooked meat. So I guess it's time to start toasting all the poor critters in the meadows. As with any skill in Valheim, you'll also need to practise the spells to increase your proficiency in that type of magic. To prevent the spells from being overpowered, the mod introduces a 'mana' bar, and the more powerful spells have fairly lengthy cooldowns. I experimented with the mod a fair bit myself, and although some of the audio effects are a little funky, the mod does add a fun new dimension to Valheim's combat without making things too easy. It wouldn't be fair to leave all the spell-casting to the shamans, would it? There's even a Recall spell to call in the Valkyries to teleport the player back to spawn - the equivalent of Gandalf calling in the eagles, I suppose.

The Light spell allows you to summon a glowing orb to illuminate the way, Travel increases your movement speed, and there's an area of effect healing spell to help both you and your buddies. Although I imagine most people will immediately reach for the fireball spell, it's worth noting this mod adds plenty of helpful spells that aren't directly related to combat. The style of spells available in the mod reminded me quite a bit of the basic spells in Skyrim, and and I'm assuming the 'Sky' in the mod name is probably a nod to the Elder Scrolls game.
