📋 About This Mod
========Description======== Makes the soul gems more powerful allowing for better enchantments. I always felt the soul gems were much to underpowered, so I made this mod. I\'ve multiplied the values by 15 so the changes are as follows.. Petty = 15->225 Lesser = 25->375 Common = 40->600 Greater = 60->900 Grand = 85->1275 Added another optional . Esp which halves the chance of you finding Soul Gems as loot. I plan an update with a re-texture of each soul gem. ========Compatibility======== May not be compatible with any large magic overhauls, could someone please check this? ========Installation========= Just copy & paste the . Esp to your directory and make sure its ticked in your data files. ========Uninstallation========= Delete the file. ========Legal Issues========= You can do what you like with this mod but please give credit where credit is due.
