Do whatever you want with it so long as you give me credit. Share the pedantry with your friends! Just don't expect them to take you seriously. If they do, then all the more power to you.

Bethesda for creating the game and the Creation Kit Gary (Smartbluecat) for creating a use-case of the Skill Books Read condition in Inigo's progress reports. Inigo is one of the only mods I know of that uses that sort of condition, so his creator made my job in the Bookworm Edition that much easier.

Lo and behold, I bring you another little joke mod! This time, I was inspired to play around with the words pendant and pedant, which have very similar spellings yet dramatically different definitions. The Pendant of the Pedant fortifies all the player's magic and crafting skills by 10 points while making prices 100% worse.
To create this powerful pendant, the player must already be a pedant--a true pedant. This means you must be an Expert (skill level 75 or above) in Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Restoration, Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing. Once you are smart enough in all these areas and have the Arcane Blacksmith perk, take an Amulet of Julianos, the God of Logic, to the forge and pour your expertise into the sacred trinket. If you chose to download the mod's Bookworm Edition, you must also have read at least 51 skill books; you can check if you've read enough via the System menu where other such statistics, such as Bunnies Slaughtered, are shown.
Have fun, and don't take your pedantic selves too seriously!
