White Phial - Tweaks and Enhancements

Introduction

A legendary bottle, forged in the days when Skyrim was just starting its turn to ice. A small container, made of the magically infused snow that first fell on the Thorat of the World. It is said that the Phial will replenish whatever fluid is placed inside of it. For an alchemist like myself, it is the most pure expression of art. To create from nothingness is... poetry.

Nurelion mentions "whatever fluid". This quote made me wonder: Then why does the White Phial only allow you to chose from a handful effects? As such, I made this mod.

Re-enchanting the White Phial

After having the Phial repaired by Quintus in the vanilla quest, he will mention that it can only hold a select few liquids, as he's only an apprentice alchemist.

For this reason, the Phial won't have its full potential yet. To reach its full potential, it will need to be re-enchanting. This ca be either done by yourself, or someone skilled in enchanting.

Re-enchanting it yourself:

You will need at least level 75 in Enchanting and one Black Soul Gem.

Having someone else re-enchant it:

This can be done at Sergius Turrianus, the enchanting trainer at the College of Winterhold. He'll re-enchant it for 5000 gold, or 2500 gold if you can persuade him. (Speechcraft 50 needed) This part uses spliced voiced lines.

Re-enchanting the White Phial this way will enable you to align it with any liquid. (see below in "How it works".) Additionally, it will decrease the amount of hours it take to refill by half. By default 24 -> 12, but changeable by setting a globalvariable with the console commands. (see below in "Customization".)

You can skip this re-enchanting part by setting a globalvariable with the console commands. (see below in "Customization".)

How does it work

If you click on the empty White Phial, you will be asked if you'd like to assign a different potion. If you select Yes, a menu will open which will show your available potions. Any potion you chose will then have its effects copied over to the Phial. At this point, the Phial will start refilling, which takes 24 ingame hours. The amount of hours can be changed by setting a globalvariable with the console commands. (see below in "Customization".)

[]If you chose any potions with negative effects, the White Phial will NOT count as a poison, so if you use it, it will apply the negative effects on yourself. This is no longer the case from 2. 0 onwards.

[]If you assign more than one potion of a type (using the slider), only one will be used and the rest will be returned
