About

The Elemental Shield is a classic shield from the game, Runescape. It provided magical attributes as well as resistances from certain magics. I decided to bring it to Skyrim to further my collection of Runescape mods. While the item doesn't EXACTLY fit in with the typical look of Skyrim, I feel as a magical shield, it does at least have some merit because of it's funky appearance.

Both model and textures were created by me using 3ds Max 2011/2014 and Photoshop CS6.

What this mod includes: Two Mage-Friendly Shields that are crafted using new resources.



Obtaining:

You will need to travel to Reachcliff Cave and defeat the 4 elementals that surround the Elemental Forge. Once that is done, you will need to mine Elemental Ore, smelt it and forge the shield. All need materials are found at this location. If you have already visited this area, I would suggest walking from a close by location as to not get mobbed by Elementals.



Installation:

Use Nexus Mod Manager

or

Extract the files of the archive to your Skyrim Data Folder

elementalshield.esp
elementalshield.bsa

NOTE: This is my first time trying to use a .bsa compressed file instead of a rar. If there are any problems, let me know.



Uninstall Instructions:

Remove using Nexus Mod Manager

or

Simply delete the following files/folders:

elementalshield.esp
elementalshield.bsa



Questions:

Q. What does this shield actually do?
A. The Elemental Shield wards damage similar to the Spellbreaker but slightly weaker. However, it also provides 20% resistance against elemental attacks, as well as increasing Magicka. The upgraded version is significantly stronger.

Q. Will you be making the newer Elemental Workshop shields?
A. No. Anything that came out after I quit is very unlikely.



Known Issues:

1. Elemental Ore nodes don't seem to display that they are depleted.



If for some reason the files do not work, cause crashes

All screenshots are taken directly from the game and resized down from 1920x1080 to 1280x720. No other editing has been done.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy this Skyrim Mod!
