This Skyrim mod extends the duration of enchanting and smithing potions from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, making crafting sessions more efficient.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge QoL boost for crafting sessions – no more chugging potions every 30 seconds.
- Community-approved with 2,114 endorsements and 45,700 downloads.
- Simple and effective – does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Doesn't affect potions already in your inventory – you'll need to craft or buy new ones.
- May make enchanting/smithing feel a bit too easy for purists who like the challenge.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter potion durations or alchemy effects.

- After installing, craft or buy new enchanting/smithing potions – old ones won't get the extended duration.
- Works with any mod manager or manual install – just drop the files into your Data folder.
