Starborn powers in Starfield don't have to remain a grab bag of abilities. Aetherium reorganizes all 24 vanilla powers into Anima, Gravitic and Stellar schools, each with its own signature ability and a Resonance bonus tied to how you play. An accompanying Aether skill tree pushes those differences further, while an outpost shrine lets you change schools when you're ready to try another approach.

This is a substantial powers overhaul, so it can conflict with other mods changing vanilla powers or the Powers and Skills menus. The creator also notes using AI assistance for the menu code, without claiming that it covers the rest of the project. The real attraction is giving Starborn progression a more deliberate identity from one playthrough to the next.
