📋 About This Mod

What this is

This mod replaces vanilla weapon enchantments with an entirely new and significantly more interesting collection. It also adds a few slingshot-exclusive enchantments and tweaks to tool enchantments.

In addition, this mod optionally replaces the generic vanilla "Forged" text in weapon tooltips with actual configurable gemstone sockets.

Melee Weapon Enchantments

  • []Carving: Attacks on-hit reduce enemy defense by 1 point (continuing below zero). Armored enemies (i.e., Armored Bugs and shelled Rock Crabs) lose their armor when their defense is reduced to zero.

    []Cleaving: Attacks on-hit spread 60% - 20% (based on distance) of the damage to other enemies around the target.

    []Explosive: Absorbs and stores the damage from enemy hits (before mitigation). The next special move releases twice the accumulated damage as an explosion.

    []Energized: Moving and attacking generates energy, up to 100 stacks. At maximum stacks, the next attack causes a powerful electric

    discharge which deals heavy damage in a large area.[]Greedy: Attacks that would leave an enemy below 10% max health immediately execute the enemy, converting the remaining health into gold. Each consecutive takedown increases this threshold by 1%, resetting when you take damage.

    []Radiant: Weapon swings create a mid-range sunlight projectile which blinds enemies upon collision. +50% damage to shadow and undead monsters and prevents them from resurrecting.

    []Reckless: Replaces the defensive parry special move with a stabbing lunge attack. Sword only.

    []Sanguine: Enemy takedowns recover some health proportional to the enemy's max health. Excess healing is converted into a shield for up to 20% of the player's max health, which slowly decays after not dealing or taking damage for 15s.

    []Wabbajack: Causes unpredictable effects.*

    Hard caps at 1000 HP. To prevent cheesing boss monsters from expansion mods, this is implemented as a percentage chance per hit, with the chance being near-zero close to the 1000 HP hard cap and near 100% for regular monsters.

    * Example effects: execute or fully-heal the enemy; apply a random debuff; grow or shrink the enemy; split the enemy in two; transform enemy into a random animal; transform the enemy into a random amount of cheese.

    Slingshot Enchantments

    []Energized: Moving and shooting generates energy, up to 100 stacks. At maximum stacks, the next shot carries an electric charge, which discharges dealing heavy area damage when it hits an enemy.

    [*]Chilling: Progressively chills enemies on hit for 2 seconds, freezing

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (21,799 downloads, 268 endorsements) shows it's being used and appreciated.
  • Recently updated (September 2025) so likely compatible with current Skyrim versions.
  • Simple concept: adds enchantments without overhauling the whole system, so it's easy to integrate.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is extremely vague—no list of enchantments or details on what they do.
  • With only 268 endorsements, it's a niche mod that might not have extensive community testing.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to spice up their enchanting options without a full overhaul. If you're tired of the same old enchantments and want something new, this could be for you. Skip if you need detailed documentation or if you prefer comprehensive mods with clear feature lists.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod adds enchantments, you'll need to disenchant items to learn them—check your local blacksmith or loot for new gear.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
  • Make sure to read the mod's description page on Nexus for any hidden details, as the summary here is minimal.
