About this mod

This mod improves and balances the power and attribute of Artifacts and unique items lorefiriendly. I regulated these 70% or more, but I\'m making much of compatibility. This mod is compatible with many other mods that change unique items. For example,\"Open Dragon Priest Masks\",\"ACE-Combat Skills\",\"Way Of The Sword\",\"Insanitys Pale Blade\"

Permissions and credits
I'm not good at English. I'm sorry but You may be hard to read my sentence.

This mod improves and balances the power and attributes of skyrim's artifacts and unique items lore friendly.
There are some mods similar to it in Nexus, but some of them make the artifacts too strong, and many of them are imcompatible with many other mods that I like. For example,
'Open Dragon Priest Masks' , 'ACE - Combat Skills', 'Insanitys Pale Blade', 'Way Of The Sword'.
So I made this mod making much of compatibility.
This mod regulates 70% or more of Unique items, But is compatible with their mod.

I wanted to strengthen Unique items, but I didn't want to strengthen them by simply increasing weapon damage or armor rating, because they are not Strong Items but also Unique Items.

So I added some new enchantment, and added them to some Unique items lore friendly.
For example,
Chillrend: Added the enchantment 'Weakness to Frost'
It is the enchantment of chillrend in TES4 Oblivion.
Mehrunes' Razor: Added the enchantment 'Weaken Armor'
I was inspired by the enchantment of Mehrunes' Razor 'Disintegrate Armor' in TES3 Morrowind

ESP for Vanilla is divided into 3 : Weapon, Armor, White phial

Optional File "Unique Shield Converter"

If you use this optional file, you can convert unique heavy shields into light shields or unique light shields into heavy shields at a tanning rack.(Need some materials and original unique shield.)
Of course you can put them back, and improve them at a grindstone.

For example, you can change Spellbreaker to Light Spellbreaker, Light Spellbreaker to Spellbreaker, Dawnguard Rune Shield to Dawnguard Rune Heavy Shield, Dawnguard Rune Heavy Shield to Dawnguard Rune Shield.

Light Spellbreaker(15% smaler than the original)
Light Targe of the Blooded
Auriel's Light Shield
Aetherial Light Shield(15% smaler than the original)
