📋 About This Mod

Changes are as follows:

- Necromancer's Amulet -> New model and value increased from 240 to 24000.

- Bloodworm Helm -> New Model.

-Dragonbone Cuirass -> Renamed to Dragonbone Mail, altered the Mournhold Museum dialogue and topic to reflect this change. Enchantment is now cast on use to resist fire 100% and cast fire damage at a distance.

- Daedric Crescent -> Renamed to Daedric Crescent Blade. Also added a damage health enchantment to it.

- Staff of Magnus -> Swapped out its enchantement to the unused variant that has absorb health as per the lore.

- Volendrung -> Gave it an enchantment and increased its value from 600 to 60000.

- Auriel's Shield -> Gave it an enchantment.

- Auriel's Bow -> Gave it an enchantment.

- Lord's Mail -> Added an absorb health enchantment to it.

- Ring of the Wind -> Replaced it's fortify agility with fortify speed.

- Warlock's Ring -> Added a restore health enchantment to it.

- Mehrunes' Razor -> Replaced its enchantment with a potent damage health one (this instantly kills low level creatures at times which suits it more)

- Eltonbrand -> New Model

- Daedric Sanctuary Amulet -> Different model (so that Madstone of the Ahemmusa is unique again)

- Fork of Horripilation -> Model has different texture layout to make it unique (original fork model is cut content known as Iron Fork)

- Renamed Scourge to Daedric Scourge

- Barilzar's Mazed Band -> Unique Model

- Dagger of Symmachus -> Unique Model

- Veloth's Judgement -> Unique Model

- Boots of Blinding Speed -> Unique Model

- Removed the second Ring of Surroundings from Dren Planation and replaced it with a l_m_rings level list in the small chest

For version 1. 1: Eltonbrand is now blue for the Bluebrand Easter egg, and Daedric Sanctuary Amulet is a common Dunmeri claw amulet so that it is not sharing a model with another artifact from the main quest.

Version 1. 2: Fork of Horripilation is unique now with slightly darker handle textures. This is so mods using the fork model would not be the same as this artifact. Tamriel Rebuilt used Iron Forks quite a lot and I plan to have Iron Forks in Cutting Room Floor in the future.

Version 1. 2. 1: Added Ring of Namira from Cutting Room Floor, the difference is that in this mod an enchantment is applied to it (Reflect 30% CE). This is to not take any liberties with CRF, and also this mod makes it okay to add enchantments to items, so it essentially copies Volendrung, Auriel's relics, etc. Also, the Eltonbrand icon is now cleared out of the textures folder.

Version 1. 2. 2: reverted to v 1. 2 which means no Ring of Namira. Though the Eltonbrand ico
