Inspired by the mod Handyman by Canuckovitch, Wield Clutter adds 50 weaponized clutter items.
Kill a dragon with a broom! Bash a bandit with a pot! Wield jugs as shields! Unlock the secrets of the Draugr by stabbing them with lockpicks!

Wield Clutter adds the lesser power "Wield Clutter" that allows you to....wield clutter.
The spell is obtainable by reading the new book The Handyman's Secret Weapon. A guaranteed copy can be found in Belethor's shop in Whiterun, but the book will also appear in random loot.

Once obtained, activate the Wield Clutter power with a supported clutter item in your inventory (see list) to convert it into a usable weapon or piece of armor!
It will almost always have the same weight and value as its clutter counterpart. Lockpick daggers and some other items are an exception, however.

The mod also adds the lesser power "Fuse Clutter," which allows you to combine existing weaponized items to form stronger versions of those items. The power is learned from the book "Trorgar's Broom," which can be found in Mistveil Keep, as well as in random lot.
See "Item Reforging" section below for more information.

All clutter items are weaker than vanilla weapons and shields, but some clutter items may be equal to or slightly stronger than iron items.

This mod is not meant to be an immersive experience. You're killing dragons with a quill, after all. It is also meant to be small in scope. While I am open to suggestions, this is my temple and it responds to my decree, so the mod is not as malleable as you may think it is. Ultimately, I'll do what I want with it.


Item Reforging was implemented in version 1.1 and allows the player to permanently strengthen a clutter weapon. It is inspired by the mod Weapon Reforging by Omnibruce. 

Using the lesser power "Fuse Clutter," you can combine duplicates of weaponized items to make a new, stronger version of that item.

Example:
Use "Wield Clutter" to convert two ladles into weaponized ladles.
Use "Fuse Clutter" to convert those two ladles into a single Ladle +1, which has one extra damage point compared to a normal ladle.
Make two of the Ladle +1 and fuse them into a Ladle +2, which has 2 extra damage points compared to a Ladle +1.
This process can be repeated all the way up to +5. 

A +5 reforged item has 15 more base damage or armor points than a standard item, making the weaponized clutter items viable!

Most reforging tracks require two of the same kind of weapon to make the next level of weapon (i.e. 2 normal ladles = 1 ladle +1, 2  ladle +1 = 1 ladle +2, 2 ladle +2 = 1 ladle +3, etc.) Meaning a total of 32 items are needed to make a +5 version of that item.
However, some items are very common, and require more items to reforge. 
Baskets require 3 items to reforge, for a total of 243 baskets required for a +5 basket.
Forks require 3 items to reforge.
Knives require 3 items to reforge.
One variant of the Silver Goblet requires 3 items to reforge.
Tankards require 4 items to reforge, requiring a total of 1024 tankards for a +5 tankard. This is because tankards are the most common item in the game.

Unique items require increasing numbers of certain ingredients rather than duplicates to reforge.
