📋 About This Mod

Description

If you've played Morrowind for any amount of time, chances are good that the majority of premade enchantments in the game are quickly written off as worthless. And even fewer are ever actually used.  While many older mods exist to rebalance and improve premade enchantments, Enchantments Refined was made to compliment the many new mechanically impressive mods available to players in the modern day for a truly transformative experience.

Enchantments Refined basically does a couple things

  • []Most Cast-On-Use buffs have been transformed into Constant Effect variants, with lowered magnitudes[/]

    []Most all artifacts have been remade to be more in line with their lore, or been buffed where they may have been lacking[/]

    []Cast-On-Strike Weapons have been more standardized and generally buffed all around with many seeing a significant boost to their charge and damage[/]

    []Almost all scrolls have seen significant buffs to make them more useful, as well as create a bigger distinction between them and potions[/]

    []Enchantment that stayed Cast-on-Use have had their numbers and uses tweaked to be more meanigful[/]

    []Specific effects have been made rarer or less spammable, such as paralysis weapons, water breathing, or telekinesis, while others have been greatly increased to be more worthwhile, such as burden, feather, and elemental weakness[/]

    []Balance was generally determined by considering the difficulty or likelihood of obtaining each item and what slot it would occupy[/]

    DELIBERATE CAST-ON-USE

    One of the most notable changes of Enchantments Refined is that the number of Cast-on-Use enchantments have been significantly reduced, with the vast majority now being transformed into Constant Effects. The remaining Cast-on-Use enchantments mostly include potent magical attacks (such as fireball) or specialized utility (like levitate). The damage output of Cast-on-Use enchantments has been noticeably increased, while access to cheap and abundant healing has been similarly reduced, with most previous healing style enchantments now offering flat constant Fortify Health effects.

  • If you're using Morrowind Code Patch or OpenMW, verify compatibility before installing.
