This mod balances and enhances the bound weapons of Skyrim. All bound weapons now have a 10 minute duration, magicka costs are slightly adjusted, and the bound weapon perks have been redone to allow for damage scaling equivalent to legendary Smithing weapons.

The attached images should explain what this mod does in full. Here's the rundown:
  • Get the perks that allow your bound weapons to scale with Conjuration and Enchanting.
  • Find Malyn Varens' corpse to get a ring an object, replacing the need for the old 'Soul Stealer' perk.
  • Level your Conjuration and Enchanting to 100 for much better bound weapon damage.
  • Your combat skills/perks and your fortify enchantments also help greatly.

The fully-powered bound weapons are equivalent to having four 'Fortify Smithing' pieces on, with 100 Smithing, using a Blacksmith' Elixir, and then tempering a Daedric weapon. For this to be true, I had to limit the bow (which was already scaling better than the other weapons) to only scale from one of the two skills (Enchanting).

New in 2.1:

Conjuring bound weapons no longer breaks invisibility.
Bound Bow damage was slightly increased, and draw speed was changed from 0.5 to 0.75.

2.2:
The Soul Cairn Conduit ring is no longer a ring, and does not interfere with equipping a ring. It is now just an object that can be held (slot 59).

2.3:
The Soul Cairn Conduit item no longer shows up when selling to a vendor. It also no longer takes up any equipment slot, and should be equippable with anything else that can be equipped.
