This mod aims to implement proper spell slot restrictions for Specialist mages, forcing them to choose a spell from their school for their bonus spell slots.
Weidu should be able to install it so long as the section dealing with the Mage Spellbook hasn't already been altered. It uses REPLACE_TEXTUALLY for all its changes, if there is a better way I am open to suggestions.
The marker effects for this are applied to specialists at level 1 through the CLAB, so games already in progress will require force-casting a spell on existing specialists through the console. This marker effect will remain if the mod is uninstalled, but does nothing by itself and will not affect gameplay otherwise. This marker is a dummy sequencer, so the Sequencer Active portrait Icon will always be in effect, and it will show up as a blank line in the active Contingencies list.
It needs to be installed after any mods that add or alter Mage spells or creatures with specialist kits, so they can receive proper recognition.
ConsoleCast:
C:Eval("ActionOverride(Myself,ReallyForceSpellRES(\"MSCHOOL\",Msyelf))")Only the 8 specialist mage kits will receive the marker, it will have no affect on others, including Wildmages and Mod-added kits.
The second component causes the extra spells slots from Edwin's Amulet to be treated the same way, requiring Conjuration Spells be put in them. The effect added to the Amulet can be added to anything, using "MSCHOOL#" as the resource, where # is the Spell School(as assigned to spells), forcing an extra slot of every spell level to go to that spell school.
Specialist School spells and slots are identified by a simple "rectangle 0" border:

Comment out "INCLUDE ~%MOD_FOLDER%\UIMENU.tpa~" in the "UIMENU.tpa" file.
