ENCHANTING
You can nd lled soul gems in the world, or create them by using the Soul Trap spell to capture a creature’s soul in an empty soul gem.
Some enchantments can only be placed on weapons, while others can only be placed on worn items, or particular kinds of worn items.
Weapon enchantments use up charges with each hit and need to be recharged when drained. The power slider and size of the soul in the
soul gem determines how many charges the enchanted weapon will hold.
Worn item enchantments are permanent and do not require recharging.
Enchanting is the art of applying magic effects to armor and weapons. To create an enchanted item, you need a learned enchantment, a
lled soul gem, and an equipable item that has no enchantment. The higher your Enchantment skill, the better the enchanted item.
Enchantments are learned by destroying enchanted items. Take enchanted items to an Arcane Enchanter to destroy them.
SMITHING
Use forges to create new weapons and armor. The higher your Smithing skill, the better weapons and armor you can forge. Raise your
Smithing skill by creating or improving weapons, armor, training or reading skill books.
Creating weapons and armor requires components that can be found in the world like iron or steel, as well as knowledge of how to
create an item. To unlock new weapon and armor options, choose Perks from the Smithing skill constellation.
Grindstones: The grindstone improves the damage of
weapons. To sharpen a weapon, you need the appropriate
materials. The amount of improvement depends on your
Smithing skills and perks.
Workbenches: Use workbenches to improve an item’s
armor rating. You need components to help upgrade your
armor. The amount of improvement depends on your
Smithing skill and Perks.
