📋 About This Mod
Equip an item while holding shift to disenchant it (alternatively cast dispel on it when it's on the floor)
You'll get:
-
[]an unenchanted version of the item[/]
[]knowledge of the effect (only appears in your spellbook when you enchant)[/]
[]a small soulgem with a portion of the power[/]
[]a few exp[/]
the item you had equipped previously will be re-equipped
If you want to recoup even bigger souls, without them being worth a million immediately, take a look at Worthless Soulgems
Installation:
Extract the folder somewhere and add it to your content list

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Active development—last updated May 2026, so it's fresh.
- Solid community traction with 126 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Adds a new gameplay loop that fits Morrowind's magic system.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires OpenMW 0.49 specifically—won't work on older builds or vanilla Morrowind.
- Small mod, so expect limited scope and potential balance quirks.
For OpenMW players who want to expand enchanting beyond the vanilla system. If you're a magic-focused character or enjoy crafting loops, this adds depth. Skip if you're on vanilla Morrowind or prefer combat mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running OpenMW 0.49 or newer—this mod won't work on older versions.
- Use the OpenMW launcher to manage your mods and ensure load order is correct.
- Disenchanting items you don't need is a good way to level up early, but save unique artifacts for later.
