Masterwork - An Anniversary Edition Artifact Overhaul
Masterwork is an overhaul of the artifacts and unique items added by the Anniversary Edition upgrade to Skyrim Special Edition, adding spells and enchantments from the SimonRim suite of mods to items such as the Staff of Worms or Goldbrand to bring them closer to the standard set by Artificer. This includes weapons such as the Bow of Shadows, armors like the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal and the Lord's Mail, and miscellaneous artifacts such as the Bittercup.Requirements
Masterwork requires Thaumaturgy - An Enchanting Overhaul, Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul, and Artificer - An Artifact Overhaul as it distributes various spells and enchantments from these mods to the new artifacts introduced by AE.

Compatibility
Masterwork is not compatible with mods changing the enchantments or stats of these weapons and armor. Patches for mods such as Creation Cave and Catir Club are included in the FOMOD.
Masterwork is fully compatible with Forgotten Seasons Cut Staves Restored and I highly recommend it if you want to take advantage of the new staff enchantments for them.
Ooreeoo's Creation Club - Adjustments Rebalancing and Variants is also recommended, though be sure to load it before any of Masterwork's files.
aljoxo's AE artifact overhauls such as Baited - A Fishing Artifact Overhaul are not compatible but are a good alternative to this mod if you don't care for it.
