Enchantment is one of the most useful skills in Skyrim. Thanks to this skill, you will create a powerful weapon that can cope even with a strong opponent. In addition, enchanting will help make impenetrable armor. But for this, you will need to learn and upgrade the enchantment skill in Skyrim.
Description
The enchantment in Skyrim is a skill that allows you to cast magical effects on items of clothing or weapons. Enchantments can be defensive or offensive, as well as enhance other skills. Moreover, the more skillful the caster, the stronger the effects that he imposes. In addition, it is not necessary to be a magician in order to master the enchantment of items in Skyrim. After all, with due diligence, this art is subject to even soldiers.
How to create artifacts
You can apply effects to any item: from daggers and swords, to necklaces and rings. But to do this is not so simple, especially in the initial stages of the game. First of all, you need a special table called the Pentagram of Souls. You will find this device in the rooms of magicians, for example, at the court wizard Vaitran Faringar. And you can also equip your house with a similar device, of course, if you have one. The algorithm of work with the "Pentagram of Souls":
- Select the item you want to improve.
- In the Enchantment section, check the effect to apply.
- Choose a soul stone to use in the process. Note that it will be destroyed.
Next, click "Create Item" and get the coveted artifact. It would seem that everything is simple, but in the initial stages of the game you do not know a single recipe for enchantment. In addition, you hardly have a filled soul stone. Learn how to find them later.
How to learn new spells
To create an artifact, you will need to find out the enchantment recipe in Skyrim that you want to apply. Want to learn it? Then find a weapon or clothing with the effect applied, and disassemble them on the "Pentagram of Souls", selecting the "Remove Enchantment" section. After that, the recipe will appear in the list of available.
Drag all the magic items found in chests and stashes to the table and take them apart to study as many recipes as possible. This will be very useful to you in the future. Do not worry that you have to destroy all the magic artifacts. Once you study any effect, the objects on which it is superimposed cannot be made out in the Pentagram of Souls. And you can use it, or sell at your discretion.
Soul stones
These valuable magic items can be found in random locations, caches and chests of the game. In addition, they are sold by merchants. But for enchantment in Skyrim, only filled soul stones are suitable. Of course, they can also be bought from merchants. But this purchase will cost a decent amount. Therefore, it is worth learning to fill them out yourself.
To begin, master the "Capture of Souls" spell. A training book can be bought from any court magician. After that, go in search of a creature that can be killed. Note that your inventory should have an empty soulstone. After finding the creature, cast a spell on it, and then kill it. His soul will fall into stone, which can now be used on the "Pentagram of Souls."
The artifact will also fill up when the enemy is killed with weapons that have the Soul Capture effect applied. But for this you need to find such an item and disassemble it on the "Pentagram." A copy of the onion with the effect you will find in the Tower of Waltheim, near Whiterun. And also an ax with the "Capture of Souls" spell, if you become a tan of this city.
Azura Star
If you like the enchantment in Skyrim, then to use and upgrade the skill you will need more than one thousand soul stones. And such an amount is very littering inventory. An excellent alternative in this case will be the artifact "Star of Azura." This magical item, in fact, is an infinite stone of souls, and it can be used an unlimited number of times. The main thing is to reload the artifact on time.
To become the owner of the "Star", visit the Temple of Azura, hidden in the south of Winterhold. There you will find a priestess who will issue a quest to find an artifact.
Enchantment Enhancement in Skyrim
To create a truly powerful weapon or armor, you have to seriously pump this skill. After all, the higher the skill, the stronger the enchantment. The skill improves with the following actions:
- Analysis of objects on the "Pentagram of Souls" and the study of new spells.
- Overlay effects on weapons or clothing.
- When reloading weapons filled with soul stones.
As the skill improves, the abilities of this skill branch will become available to you. Spend experience points on their discovery if you want your spell to become more powerful.
How to quickly pump skill
Enchanting school teachers will help improve the skill. There are only three of them in Skyrim:
- Earring Turrian - Wizardhold College Mage.
- Hamal is the priestess of the temple of Dibella in Markarth.
- Nelot - the mage of Tel Mitrina (available in Dragonborn expansion pack).
Unfortunately, teachers will increase your skill only when you reach the level of "Expert" or "Master". For such lessons, you will lay out a lot of gold, but the costs will quickly pay off. After all, you can create powerful artifacts and sell them to merchants at better prices.
We are looking for textbooks
Special enchantment books will help to increase the skill a little. There are several of them in Skyrim:
- Guide for enchanters. You will find a copy of the book in the location of Hob's Cave, in the House of Carlotta Valentia (Whiterun) and in the cart of the crushed refugee caravan near Mount Antor.
- Tragedy in black. The textbook is hidden in the sanctuary of the Great Tree, the Depths of Illinalta, the Bastion of Bruce's Leap, and the Glenmoril Cove.
- Double secret. You will find a copy of the book if you visit Stronghold Snake Bastion, Trevsky outpost, Konselmo Laboratory, Stendarr's Sanctuary.
- Catalog of enchantments for weapons. Textbooks are in the White Hall of Dunstar, Roadside Ruins, Black Passage.
- Kataloh enchantment for armor. These books are hidden in the sanctuary of Merunes Dagon, the Hot Steam mine, the home of Falion, and Fort Amol.
Each of these textbooks will increase your skill by one level, which will be very useful. Therefore, do not be lazy to look for them.
Instant boost
If there is no desire to spend time and money on improving the enchantment in Skyrim, then console teams will help to increase the skill. Of course, this method is not completely honest and legal, but it also deserves attention. To get started, set the default English language. After that, launch the game console by pressing the “~” key. In the field that opens, write the following line: advskill Enchanting 100. The enchantment skill will instantly rise to its maximum value.
Best effects
Using cheats, you can also get already enchanted items. To do this, open the console with the “~” key. Write the following combination in the line that opens: PlayerEnchantObject (item ID) (enchantment ID). In Skyrim, the following effects will come in handy:
- Favorable prices - 0007A104.
- Stealth Skill Improvement - 0007A103.
- One-handed weapon damage increase - 0007A0FF.

For example, you want to get a steel sword with the effect of "Capture souls." Write the following line in the console: PlayerEnchantObject 00013989 000F5D24. After that, the item will appear in your inventory. To master this effect and subsequently apply it to another weapon, disassemble the sword on the “Pentagram of Souls”.
Fashion for enchantment in "Skyrim"
If you are not comfortable with how this skill works in the official game, then download and install the Enchanting Awakened plugin. Thanks to this modification, new styles will appear in the enchantment - Life, Chaos and Ephesus, as well as unique effects. In addition, you will gain more experience when catching souls of creatures, and over time you will unlock special perks that will make the process more interesting and exciting.
Tired of constantly reloading your favorite sword or bow? Install the mod "Infinite charge in weapons" and you will forever forget about this problem. Fans of unique effects that cannot be removed in the official game will like the plug-in “Removing enchantments from artifacts”. After installing the modification, disassembling the “Dragon Scourge” or “Anuriel's Bow” on the “Pentagram of Souls” will not become a problem.
In general, you will always find an addition that diversifies this skill in the game. But before downloading and installing such content, read the comments from users and do not forget to check the plug-in with antivirus. Otherwise, together with exciting adventures in the expanses of Skyrim, you will have problems with the system.
