Permissions and credits


Introduction---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod overhauls the stats of the Skyrim artifacts to best reflect the lore surrounding them, and stay as true as i can to all games in the TES series.

I also plan on making every unique items enchant just that, unique, some good examples include Keening and the Archmage robes, now these items enchants are unique, but they are lacking in some ways on purpose, this is in place so enchanting is never devalued.

Other good examples include items like Auriel's Bow, or Mace of Molag Bal, while their enchants are completely unique to the items the pure damage effects will never surpass self enchanted weapons, and on the other side of it, no self enchanted items will ever surpass their utility.

This mod is built to be very balanced, if you notice anything being game breaking just tell me and i'll see what can be done, most items have been added to a smithing perk and given a material as well!

This mod is completely modular, All of the original enchants and effects are intact meaning you can go into the CK and swap out any of the effect that you dislike with the originals!

This mod will be part of a series of mods to change many of Skyrims balance flaws, the other parts to go with this mod are.
