📋 About This Mod

Overview
Reliquary of Myth is an extensive artifact overhaul that was designed to change how each artifact works significantly by lessening the need for every character to level enchanting to survive at higher levels. The objective is to make every Skyrim artifact genuinely unique and seemly lore-friendly to the extent that it feels more rewarding and usable in a modded playthrough.

Auriel's Bow

  • []10 points of sun damage. Undead targets take triple damage. Fully drawing the bow channels the sun's power, dealing 100 extra points of sun damage to nearby enemies.

    Auriel's Bow, a powerful bow allegedly used by the elven god Auri-El. However, in Skyrim, it is outclassed by almost every other mundane Bow in the game. Well, not anymore, it now can turn any arrow into a "missile of death."

    Auriel's Shield

    []Absorbs energy from blocked attacks, which can be released with a power bash. Blocking has a 20% chance to reflect melee damage back at the attacker.

    []The shield comes with a hidden perk called Deflect Arrows - Arrows that hit the shield do no damage.

    []Reduce the number of successful blocks needed to charge the shield. After 9 blocked attacks, the shield is fully charged.

    [*]You can now acquire a light version of Auriel's Shield, depending on your armor skill level when you first kill the Falmer Warmonger boss. If your heavy armor skill is higher or equal to your light armor skill, you will always receive a heavy version of the shield, else
