Hi all! I'm completely new to modding but I have an idea I want to implement. I've looked through the forum and can't find any discussion about what I'm attempting, so. This question has two parts.
First: Can a spell apply the effects of a dye for the duration of the spell. For example (this isn't what I'm doing, but it gets the idea across) imagine I'm trying to mod in Mario's Fire Flower, which works like call lightning but letting you throw fireballs for the duration instead of lightning bolts; and let's say I want it to change your outfit to white and red the way it does in the Mario games. Is there a way to do that, but only for the duration of the spell, and then it reverts to whatever colors it was before? If so, how would I do this?
Second: I know there are spells that can replace or fill the caster's weapon slot: Flame Blade does this, for instance. Is it possible to do that with another equipment slot, and have (say) a spell that creates a suit of armor and replaces your existing armor with it for the duration? If so, how?
Either of these would work for what I'm trying to do! The second would be slightly better lore-wise, but on the other hand the first would allow you to retain the benefits of your existing armor, so yeah, either would be great! Thanks in advance, and I'm happy to be joining the community!
