📋 About This Mod

Black Soul Gem Crafting

This mod allows you to craft black soul gems, relying on the Crafting Framework, and therefore MWSE to function.

To get started crafting black soul gems, simply find a pair of Gem Cutters in random loot wherever you might find soul gems normally and equip them.

You must have some decent skill in both Conjuration and Enchant if you want to create such a reliquary for sapient souls, along with a Daedra's Heart and two portions of Ash Salts to corrupt the soul gem's energy flow and darken it.

This is not 100% lore friendly, so keep that in mind, but I created it mostly to serve as a way to get black soul gems to use for Seph's NPC Soul Trapping mod. It is in no way required, but it comes highly recommended to get the most out of this mod. Enjoy the necromantic goodness!
