📋 About This Mod
Enchanting Awakened
<by egocarib>
A mod that completely reimagines Skyrim's enchanting skill system
in an immersive, balanced, and lore-friendly way.
Tired of enchanting being a mindless skill grind with no rewards or replay value? Bothered
by how those half-dozen banish-enchanted daggers ruined the economy for the rest of your
play-through? Have tried all the other enchanting mods out there but found them lacking?
Then welcome, fellow essence-seeker — you've finally arrived where you belong.
