Like me, you might have been left aghast by the ludicrously overdone buffing effects (ie, "ball" & "skin"). If that's the case then I suggest you download and throw into your override folder the following tiny mods: Less Obtrusive Spell Buffs, Remove Annoying Effects, Remove Annoying Effects Extension and Disease VFX Removal.
Voilà! Now you can actually see your character - hell, players with older PCs might even receive a welcome FPS boost. These tweaks fail to address the higher level spells, though; perhaps someone would like to bother their ass? (Not me, of course. I've already done the hard yards by putting all the links in one paragraph to save others the hassle of searching for themselves, and honestly, that's the extent of my charity.)
Below: Before and after the tweaks; both have several low level buffs active. One of these doesn't look fire retardant, can you guess which one?
