In short : modifies the enchantment of unique items to be truly unique. This mod DOESN'T change item models and names!
Skyrim's unique items are boring as hell. When Nocturnal gave me +30% frost resistance, +30 stamina armor in exchange for my life-long service to her, I was downright outrageous, and I am pretty sure that's against some labor law or some sh!t. So I decided to make a mod that makes unique item unique not because they look a little more fancy, but because they DO something unique. Full change is just a scroll away from here, so get your ass down there if you want to check them out.
Oh, I also made leveled unique items to be upgradable at smelters with some ingredients. Just a small bonus. You don't need to thank me.
