Better Bound Items

Update Changelog – Version 1. 91

Compatibility Update

• []The mod is now fully compatible with OpenMW 0. 48 and 0. 49. Both versions can run the latest release without issue.

• []All Bound Weapon Spells have increased Magicka costs but now offer greater versatility.

  []Upon casting, players can now choose alternate versions of bound weapons—e.g., selecting a Bound Claymore instead of the default Bound Longsword.

• []Bound Weapons and Armor are now slightly weaker than Daedric gear in raw stats but are enhanced through:

  []New enchantments

  []Inclusion of Greaves and Pauldrons, forming a complete armor set

[]Weapon and armor damage and armor rating are scaled down slightly from Daedric counterparts.

[]All bound items now apply a Burden effect equivalent to half the weight of their Daedric equivalents. This can be mitigated through Resist Magicka.

[]Durability has been reduced to 25% of Daedric item health, requiring strategic usage and maintenance.

[]This offers a fair trade-off: near-Daedric level protection at a lower weight, but with magical drawbacks.

Enchanted Bound Gear

• []The Demon, Devil, and Fiend equipment tiers have been rebalanced:

  []Demon: Basic enchanted variant

  []Devil: Grants either Reflect or Spell Absorption

  []Fiend: Enhanced Elemental Shield effects

• []The new default starting spell is "Bound Blunted Weaponry", ideal for early-game mages looking to summon a powerful staff.

v1. 04 – Weapon Selection System

• []Upon casting a Bound Weapon spell, players now receive a popup menu to choose the variant:

  []For example, casting Bound Long-Blades lets you pick between:

  Bound Claymore, Bound Katana, Bound Dai-Katana, or the Base Longsword

[]If the player learns any Bound Armor spell, a new Power spell—

“Conjure – Select Armor Type”—will automatically be added after 30 seconds.[]This spell allows players to select their preferred armor class:

[]Unarmored: Benefits from the Unarmored skill (ideal for mages or low-level characters)

[*]Light, Medium, or Heavy Armor: Bound items will be tagged accordingly and carry weig
