This mod rebalances the new weapons from Royal Armory to better fit vanilla equipment tiers, as well as adjusting enchantments to be more broadly applicable for general use. Non-enchanted variants of each weapon are also available to craft, if you wanted just the new model with your own enchantments instead.

Details:

  • []Fixed some typos and grammatical errors

    []Rebalanced weapon stats to better reflect vanilla items

    []Adjusted all enchantments to better match Thaumaturgy's effects, as well as be more useful as general artifacts

    []Added non-enchanted variants of all weapons. Each can be crafted with the appropriate smithing perk, as long as you have the original weapon in your inventory
