📋 About This Mod
First of all, I'm french, so i may have made some mistakes in this description (and in the mod itself), so sorry if my english is bad.
Second thing, this is my first mod, so sorry if there are any issues that i didn't notice. If there are some, please tell me in the comments, and i'll try to solve them.
~~~~~~~~DESCRIPTION~~~~~~~~
This mod has three versions
-The first version is a replacer Mod, that changes all weapon's enchantments in the game, and give them one of the eight enchantment color. The visual effects are retextures the "elemental fury" shout effect. It also includes the standalone enchantments in dragonreach
-the second version adds only the standalone effects in dragonsreach, and changes Daedric artefacts enchants only, so that those animated efffects fell more "unique"
- the last version only adds 8 new standalone enchantments with visual effects in different colors.
- the enchantments themselves are just copies of already existing enchantment in the vanilla game, but a little more powerful (equivalents to daedric artifacts). Once you get the enchanted weapons provided in the mod, you can desenchant them and use them on whatever weapon you want, it won't change the vanilla enchantments.
Also, there are optionnal versions with only the "aura", without the shade effect on the blade
This mod's only purpose is to add visual effects to your enchanted weapons, the enchantements themselves are nothing special.
One last thing, the visual effects are suposed to be used on melee weapons, it also looks good on crossbows, but if you use it on a bow, it'll only appear on the upper part. It's not that ugly, but it feels weird...
~~~~~~~~EFFECTS AND COLORS~~~~~~~~
- -Red : health drain
- -Orange : fire damage
- -Yellow : Undead's Bane
- -Green : Stamina drain (also in replacer version : Paralise and stamina damage)
- -Ice Blue : Well, Ice Damage
- -Blue : Magic Drain (also in replacer version : Magic damage)
- -Purple-Blue : Shock Damage (also in replacer version : Fear )
- -Purple : Soul trap (also in replacer version : Banish daedra)
The visual effects only appears when you draw your weapon.
~~~~~~~~WHERE TO FIND~~~~~~~~
You can find an Urn inside Dragonreach, in the room where Farengar usualy is, with 2 iron swords for each enchantment. When you enter the room, go on your left, it should be on the shelf that has silver plates and cups on it. (look on the screenshots for more details)
Or if you don't want to go there, here are the console ID for each color's weapon: Red : XX0012E2 Orange : XX0012E3 Yellow : XX0012E4 Green : XX0012E5 Ice Blue : XX0012E6 Blue : XX0012E7 Purple

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're playing the original Skyrim (Legendary Edition), not Special Edition — this mod predates SE and won't work without conversion
- Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer to keep track of your load order, especially if you have other texture mods
- If you're using other enchantment visual mods, load this one after them to ensure its effects take priority
