Description
===========

Adds Skyrim-style devotional amulets to Oblivion

Details
=======

Religious devotional jewelry is a widespread and ancient practice in the real world, stretching all the way back to the ancient Egyptians and beyond. Skyrim does it right by having amulets consecrated to each of the divines widely available for roleplaying and gameplay usage. Now Cyrodiil gets to join in on the fun, with amulets to the Divines with lore-appropriate blessings being available for purchase and in general circulation.

Acquiring an amulet:

- the quickest way is to stop by a Temple and purchase one from a temple priest
- the amulets have incorporated into the leveled lists for enchanted jewelry, so they should be obtainable from general loot sources

Enchantments are as follows:

- akatosh: fortify endurance
- arkay: fortify health
- dibella: fortify personality
- julianos: fortify magicka
- kynareth: fortify agility
- mara: fortify restoration
- stendarr: fortify block
- talos: fortify strength
- zenithar: fortify mercantile

Keep in mind that the best place to buy an amulet is frm its patron diety's temple, i.e. the Amulet of Stendarr is guaranteed available at the Temple of Stendarr. Other amulets may be purchased at temples, but it is randomized. Never fear, amulets to Akatosh and Kynareth are also available, randomized into the priests' stocks, so you will be able to obtain them even without KotN or an intact Temple of Akatosh.

Enchantments are teared so that holy amulets can be found with all possible levels of power, to offset the problem of the amulets falling out of practicality late-game due to being underpowered.

The Vanilla Blessings version is an alternative that gives the amulets the same bonuses as the wayshrines. Use as an alternative plugin if you prefer to keep it closer to the original game.
