Have you ever been in a situation where you want to use enchanting potion while enchanting multiple items, all the while also renaming them? Normally 1 potion's 30 second time isn't enough to do much.
So because it's not fun to feel so stupidly rushed, I modified some alchemy ingredients to give Fortify Enchanting and Fortify Smithing effects 5 minute duration. These ingredients are:
Skyrim:
----------------------------
Enchanting:
- Blue Butterfly Wing
- Hagraven Claw
- Snowberries
- Spriggan Sap
Smithing:
- Blisterwort (Mushroom06)
- Glowing Mushroom
- Sabre Cat Tooth
----------------------------
Dawnguard (only enchanting):
- Ancestor Moth Wing
- Chaurus Hunter Antennae
----------------------------
Dragonborn (only enchanting):
- Spawn Ash (DLC2GhoulAsh)
---------
You don't need to gather the ingredients again for this mod to work. I tested that existing recipes are updated with the new values after enabling or disabling the mod.
As a side-effect the potions would by default be more expensive. Skyrim automatically calculates the price, but the mod reduces alchemy recipe spell cost multiplier to ~10% of original. It should be in a very balanced/immersive range now. It does not seem possible to keep 1:1 pricing. For example smithing potion now at skill level 18 has less value than in vanilla, but at skill 100 its value is a little higher.

- 1.5: Combined many main files into a single file including a FOMOD installer for all different combinations between Creation Club / CACO / None. Supports SE and AE.
- 1.4: Changed shop or loot found enchanting and smithing potions to also 5 minutes duration. 4 of each potions in skyrim.esm (ingestibles).
