Donation Points system
Please log in to find out whether this mod is receiving Donation Points
- Enfeeble: now implemented without scripting and correctly affected by magic resistance; effectiveness reduced from 50% -> 30%. - Frost Damage Piercing: fixed description.
Armor - The following enchantments have been disabled on NPCs because OnEffectFinish() does not run if the NPC is unloaded: --- Fool's Gold --- Link Attributes
Version 4.03
The most important one line changelog you'll ever see, short of Myth II v1.1.
Armor - Soul Charge: no longer erroneously fills the smallest gem first; now works on NPCs.
Version 4.02
Armor - Double Turning: now only affects spells, fixing a bug where any enchantment combined with a Turn Undead enchantment would be twice as effective.
Weapons - Beaconbound: fixed description. - Exemplar: fixed a race condition that caused part of the effect to get stuck. - Leprosy: fixed a race condition that caused part of the effect to get stuck.
Version 4.01
This is a minor patch, but 4.00 is a major patch that may require some preparation if you're coming from 3.02. Scroll down for update instructions.
Weapons - Drain Armor: now actually disenchants into the base enchantment instead of itself (no more 6 copies).
Armor - Fortify Attributes: now a Value Modifier instead of Peak Value Modifier. - Items "of Obliteration" (PowerAttack05) are now spelled correctly. - Items "of the Spell Mire" (SpellEater03) are now spelled correctly.
Version 4.00
Ahem... you might want to unequip your items before installing this one. Obligatory music video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMbFu457jGs
Vanilla enchantments - Articulation: now gives Speech skill instead of SpeechPowerMod to match the USKP fix to this enchantment. - Fortify Health: Now correctly spelled as Health. - Fortify Persuasion: Fixed description. - Fortify Stamina: Now correctly spelled as Stamina. - Elf Slayer (Blade of Ysgramor): no longer heals elves instead, added animation, added description, added keyword. - Deleted Keening changes and modified enchantment stats to match the USKP fix to this item.
Other vanilla content - Wintermyst no longer modifies AlchDamageSpeed, dunSleepingTreeSlowAlch or FrostSlow effects.
- The creatures spawned by summoning enchantments now regenerate 5 points of Health per second (since reequipping the item respawns them with the same Health they had when unequipped, you could end up with ones that were guaranteed to die in one hit no matter what) and can no longer be activated.
- Blink Step: now accomodates gamepads (only if Activate and movement controls are both mapped to the gamepad). - Cheat Death: now halves damage taken below a certain Health threshold, but cost greatly increased, increased magnitude from 5 -> 3, disabled on NPCs (it never worked on NPCs, but actually added its magnitude to your Cheat Death magnitude!). If you were using items with Cheat Death, unequip them and type "set SCC_Ench_Restoration_Global_CheatDeath to 0" into the console). - Cure Disease: improved description. - Deep Breath: now correctly only triggers when you use a shout instead of any spell, added delay for Ordinator compatibility, improved description. - Fortify Power Attack: now applies regardless of whether or not the target is blocking, but increased cost. - Fortify Swim Speed: improved script. - Hardening Armor: script no longer piles up while the menu is open, improved description. - Healing Cloak: reduced tick rate to reduce condition load. - Link Attributes: now refreshes itself after a level-up. - Nova: increased Health threshold from 10% -> 15%. - Phantoms of the Wild: script no longer remains active when uninstalling the mod, improved description. - Powerbond: reduced tick rate to reduce condition load, increased bonus from 60 -> 75 points. - Rebuke: improved script. - Shalidor's Shield: reduced duration from 5 to 4 seconds to reduce script load. - Smoke and Mirrors: now has a delay so it doesn't interrupt itself easily. - Spurs: reduced tick rate to reduce condition load. - Tremor: improved script.
Weapons - Replaced --- Mug -> Clumsy: grants a chance to make the target drop a random item each second for X seconds. --- Absorb Carry Weight -> Absorb Critical Chance.
- The following enchantments were changed from "damage if condition" to "damage, more damage if condition" to prevent immunity message spam if the condition is not met: --- Fratricide (20 -> 10 + 10) --- Jagged (15 -> 7 + 14) --- Overbearing (20 -> 10 + 10) --- Piercing (15 -> 7 + 14)
- Disease Damage: increased from 3 -> 4 damage, now gains both damage and duration with power. - Drain Skills: fixed description. - Enfeeble: now capped at -75% target damage. - Exemplar: reduced duration of enchantable version to avoid issues when leaving combat. - Killstreak: fixed race condition, bonus damage is now also over 1 second. - Leprosy: reduced duration of enchantable version to avoid issues when leaving combat. - Poison Damage: increased from 3 -> 4 damage, now gains both damage and duration with power. - Pushback: improved script, no longer triggers a spellcast event. - Quicken Shouts: shortened description. - Resonance: increased damage from 6 per stack -> 7 per stack. - Riposte is now a Destruction -> Alteration effect, now staggers the target for a variable amount based on enchantment power. - Steal Weapons: improved script. - Reduced brightness of RestorationSun shader.
Version 3.02
Armors - Fortify Health during [Weather]: Now correctly tagged as enchanting instead of alchemy. - Fortify Sprint: Slightly sped up script execution speed. Now uses the same enchantment for dropped and crafted versions. Fixed erroneously high cost for crafted version. - Fortify Swim Speed: Slightly sped up script execution speed. Now uses the same enchantment for dropped and crafted versions. Fixed erroneously high cost for crafted version. - Hardening Armor: Now wears off faster after leaving combat.
Version 3.01
If you are using the Skyproc Patcher, make sure you have the latest patcher to go with the latest mod version. If not, there is a risk of a boxing glove coming out of your screen and punching you in the face.
Weapons - Replaced Drain Resistance with Leprosy.
Armors - Cull the Herd: Now correctly modifies damage BY the bonus amount instead of TO the bonus amount.
Enchanted items - Affix: Renamed Vulnerability to Infection. - Affix: Renamed Exposure to Contagion.
Misc - Fortify One-Handed now correctly improves dagger damage.
Skyproc Patcher - Because the internal name of Ench_CullTheHerd was changed (from Ench_Execute), enchanting.xls was updated accordingly. - Updated enchanting.xls and languages.xls to include the change from Ench_DrainResistance to Ench_Leprosy.
Version 2.05
---- Wintermyst ----
! Unequip and reequip Tremor items ("Staggers nearby enemies when jumping").
Enchantments - Replaced Execute -> Cull the Herd: 10-20% bonus damage vs enemies that are not alone. (Execute05 renamed from Mercy Killing to Spree Killing) - Blink Step: Improved responsiveness when blinking forwards. Improved description. Improved teleport responsiveness and reduces error when turning around rapidly. - Cheat Death: Now protects against hits below 15% health instead of just killing hits (which was unreliable). Increased cost. Fixed race condition that could cause it to fail. Improved description. - Fire Damage Lingering: Now removed when either the target or the caster leaves combat instead of just the target. - Killstreak: No longer deals erratic damage when the killstreak doesn't trigger. Fixed race condition that could cause kills to fail to register. Added blood splatter effect to indicate the bonus damage. - Tremor: The shockwave now only triggers in combat to prevent wasting it. Improved script execution speed. Improved description.
Misc - Updated "restoration necro" inventory model to match Apocalypse. - Deep Breath and Mug no longer have a non-scaling value highlighted.

- Fixed incorrect file date that could result in issues with third party mod managers.
Version 2.01
Wintermyst v2.01
- Phantoms of the Wild: Summoned Phantom Wolf can now open doors. - Briarheart Geis: Enchantment improved from 5 to 15 points. - Fortify Stamina Rate: Fixed enchantment still being affected by Restoration.
SkyRe compatibility patch for Wintermyst v2.01
- Reverted most vanilla enchantments to the SkyRe version. (Spell school enchantments still go by Wintermyst rules, reducing mana cost but only down to -75%, because Wintermyst has its own enchantments that increase spellpower)
The following enchantments now work correctly when applied to custom items: Beaconbound, Bountiful Hunt, Counterspell, Mug, Overbearing Strike, Riposte, Silent Moons Enchant, Sunlight.
- Overbearing Strike: Changed threshold to "full health" from "90% health".

Bugfixes to vanilla enchantments
Wintermyst fixes many bugs with vanilla enchantments. See the Readme for a list of changes.
FAQ
Known compatibility list
ASIS: Compatible. ASIS Increased Spawns will incorrectly affect ally summoning enchantments unless you follow these instructions.
Animated Weapon Enchants: Redundant. This feature is already in Wintermyst.
Enchanting Awakened: Not compatible. Due to the completely different way enchantments work in Enchanting Awakened, it is not compatible with Wintermyst. Both mods can be active at the same time, but the enchantment limits in Enchanting Awakened do not apply to Wintermyst enchantments.
Immersive Armors: Compatible. You do not need a bashed patch because Immersive Armor does not modify levelled lists but adds its items at runtime using a script.
Immersive Weapons: Modifies levelled lists; make a bashed patch to merge both mods.
Loot and Degradation: Third party compatibility patch available on the Loot and Degradation page (classic).
Lootification: Compatible. Run Lootification first to generate item variants with vanilla enchantments, then use the Wintermyst Skyproc Patcher to generate item variants with Wintermyst enchantments. (If you need to make a bashed patch due to other mods that conflict with each other in your load order, do so first of all.)
No Enchantment Restrictions: Compatible.
Ordinator - Perks of Skyrim: Compatible.
Perkus Maximus (PerMa): PerMa includes a modified version of Wintermyst and updates for this version can be found on the PerMa page (classic).
Requiem: Third party compatibility patch available here.
Skyrim Redone (SkyRe): Compatibility patch available on the downloads page. The patch does not include SkyRe-specific items with Wintermyst enchantments; make a bashed patch to merge their respective loot lists (levelled items), then use the Wintermyst Skyproc Patcher to generate item variants with Wintermyst Enchantments, then run the SkyRe Reproccer on Wintermyst to bring the stats of its added items in line with SkyRe.
Summermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim: Incompatible. Both mods modify the same content. Pick one or the other.
The Unofficial Skyrim Patch (USKP): Compatible.
Worlds Dawn: Compatible. Requires version 1.04 or later of Worlds Dawn.
Compatibility with other mods
Wintermyst is compatible with mods that rebalance or change enchantments if loaded after Wintermyst.
Wintermyst is compatible with mods that add items to specific vendors.
Wintermyst is compatible with mods that change enchantment shaders if loaded after Wintermyst.
Changes many levelled lists.
Repurposes many unused SkillAdvance actor values and will conflict with other mods that do the same.
