Features
Throwing spiders are the "smart bomb" of Skyrim: a rare, difficult to replenish resource to inflict burst damage and other effects. However, they are fairly bugged and so rare as to be unusable. Spiderbros makes them more accessible, more effective, and scale better.
Obtaining your spiders
Spiders are created in the Imbuing Chamber at White Ridge Barrow.
You can also find spiders by using an Egg-Laying Spider on a living target, which generates more random spiders, or occasionally loot them in the place of gems.
For alternate sources of spiders, see the Spider Hunter perk in Vokrii - Minimalistic Perks of Skyrim, or place your Milestones from Odin - Skyrim Magic Overhaul or Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim near the Imbuing Chamber for easy access.

- Fix many spiders being incorrectly considered Destruction spells despite gaining no bonuses.
