About this mod

Learn smithing perks by reading smithing manuals available for purchase from Skyrim's greatest smiths.

Permissions and credits
Summary:

Gives you smithing perks by reading a book.

I thought it would be more realistic to acquire the ability to craft the different
types of armors and weapons through tomes that gave you the perks, simulating your
knowledge gained through research. As it is, you craft a certain number of Iron
daggers and you magically learn how to craft Elven armor. I thought having to
acquire a book and reading about it would be at least slightly more immersive.


NOTE: Not compatible with SkyRe and probably not with other smithing perk mods. No plans for a patch right now, but others are free to make the necessary changes and reupload to the Nexus as always.

TODO:

Make ach book (e.g. the book that gives you the knowledge to smith
Dwemer armor and weapons) available by completing a small quest (in some
way related to that material). For now, they'll be available for sale from blacksmiths.

In the future I might make other plugins to include other perks that make sense, and
they would be quest rewards or random items found in related locations. (e.g. A book
that gave you the 15x stealth dagger attack perk could be found in the DB sanctuary.)
