📋 About This Mod
Please use Artificer - An Artifact Overhaul by SimonMagus instead of this mod, it is much more feature complete.
Description
The objective of this mod is to give some of Skyrim's artifacts and unique items more unique enchantments that make these items more rewarding and usable. Furthermore, I have attempted to stay as true to vanilla design where possible, this mod isn't meant to make every special item in Skyrim a "Super-Powerful-God-Item" but rather improve upon them, and remove some of vanilla's monotony. For enchantment values and additional information please see the Docs Tab and the enclosed Readme.
The College of Winterhold
The Archmage's Robes and other various accessories received or found during the The College of Winterhold questline are fairly dull and uninteresting. They can be easily described as "Worse Master Mage Robes" and "Magicka Stat Sticks". To remedy this the enchantments on the robes and boosts have been buffed, and gloves and boots have been added to complete the set. This allows the now complete set to easily function as endgame gear for mage characters. As for the accessories like the Saarthal Amulet and the Diadem of the Savant, they have been changed from simple "Stat Sticks" to "Stat Sticks with flavor and usefulness". The additional Arch-Mage items along with extra robes can be found in the investigator's chest found in the Arcanaeum which is now locked with the Arch-Mage's Quarters Key (to prevent abuse).
