Mods working but unexpected side effects

Hello,
So I just started a new playthrough and this time I playing with mods. The mods all installed without any errors but I've stumbled across the problem. My Wild Mage is a wild mage in name only. She only has two spell slots and hasn't wild surged once. I love wild surges so this is disappointing. Could someone tell me what I need to do to fix this?

    If they have 2 slots at level 1 this is correct. Generalist mages have 1 slot.

    Likewise, wild mages only have a 5% chance to wild surge per spell. Unless you're casting Nahal's, you're probably not going to surge very often.

    Cast Nahal's Reckless Dweomer. You'll get your surges then.

    Ah, okay. Neera seemes to surge a lot more often.

    Is there a mod that will increase how often I have a wild surge?

    Just memorize Nahal's Reckless Dweomer for all first level slots. That will guarantee a surge for every casting of NRD.

    I don't want to surge *every* time. I want to surge maybe 10-20% of the time. At level 1 anyway.

    Cast a lot, avoid wands in favour of spells, and go nova on every encounter while resting frequently. You should see plenty of surges in your playthrough.
