📋 About This Mod
You can activate a filled soul gem in your inventory to recharge your weapon enchantment. If you're dual-wielding the mod will pick the weapon that has the lowest charge (to maximize use of the soul gem).
This is useful because combined with Favorite Misc Items you can favorite soul gems and use the Favorite menu to recharge the enchantment.
The only limitation is this does not work for Azura's Star, sorry.
If you have Perk Entry Point Extender mod installed, your perks affecting how much charge gems provide are taken into account as well.
