There are multiple reports of Skyrim VR crashing when magic effects are used on reddit. Most using mods but not all.

Here is a user that had the issue without mods using the Brelyna Maryon companion:

I have tracked at least some of the reported issues down to HasMagicEffectKeyword crashing the game when it evaluates due to being hit by a lightning spell. This can be reproduced 100% of the time:

1. Give a Dialog Topic a condition using function HasMagicEffectKeyword and test for keyword MagicDamageFire.

2. Start the game.

3. Hit Actor that has uses Dialog Topic with sparks spell.



4. Watch as the game insta crashes.
