Looking for alternatives for the wizard game (beehaw.org)

Recently I wanted to play a magical combat game and Hogwarts legacy seemed to be mostly what I was looking for so I ethically acquired a copy. Unfortunately even with DRM removed it runs very poorly on my laptop.

Looking through steam games tagged magic, I didn't manage to find something similar. Most of the games I saw were either top-down/side-scroll (I'm looking for FPS/TPS) or had magic systems simpler than in Skyrim (I want magical combat to be the main focus).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you considered Enderal? It's a total conversion mod for Skyrim on steam, so the bones of it are the simpler Skyrim systems- but it overhauls everything and has excellent world building and quests to boot. A full mage playthrough/build is very fun/rewarding. Just understand that it is NOT Skyrim. It looks like it sometimes, and there's definitely still that Bethesda jank, but it's its own beast.

I wanted to avoid mods for now especially with skyrim since last time I've tried I've spent like 3 hours straight on nexusmods, only to run into conflicts and be too tired to even attempt to fix them. Although with a total conversion I assume it's all-in-one which should help avoid that problem. Thank you, will check it out!

If you have the steam version of Skyrim it's very simple to get running.
https://store.steampowered.com/developer/SureAI/#browse has both versions (depending on if you have the launch version or special/anniversary edition). Also found here is Nehrim, their total conversion mod for Oblivion

I think part of the problem last time was that some of my mods were nexus and some were steam 😃 I guess I'm reinstalling Skyrim then. Thank you for the link!
