I am in spam-mode haha*

I also use a few more "disruptive" mods - but these change a lot in the game so I would be more careful trying these out.

Midas Magic: More spells, there are some really nice ones among them and you don't just get the spells - you have to craft them.

Way of the monk: I played this mod for a while and then deleted it with a heavy heart. The mod itself is really awesome, play unarmed, unarmored and since Bethesda already have unarmed in the game it works really well ( I still get chills from the first time I grabbed a Thalmor mage and whipped him over my shoulder and broke his neck in slow motion ) There are tons of fist weapons and monk robes and holy stones that will give you a passive bonus ( damage you do heal allies or stuff like that ).
Problem: The author didn't know how to change the perk system and make the new combat system ( as you don't normally level up in unarmed combat ) so he made an underlying script that does all this - major overhaul on his side - unfortunately this also means that the unarmed is outside the normal perksystem and that made it extremely difficult for med to keep a broader picture of what perks I'd used ( since they don't show up in the menu ) and I was constantly trying to figure out the next upgrade - in the end I just gave up - feel bad about it but the mod simply isn't integrated enough for me - though its awesome to play.
