List of All Enchantments
Morrowind's enchantment system allows players to imbue weapons, armor, and apparel with magical properties, sificantly enhancing combat effectiveness and utility. Understanding the available enchantments and how to acquire them is key to creating powerful custom gear. This list provides a comprehensive overview of the enchantments you can apply.
Enchantments are categorized by their effect, such as damage, attribute boosts, resistances, or utility spells. The strength and duration of an enchantment depend on the enchantment skill of the enchanter, the soul gem used, and the item's enchantment capacity. Higher skill levels and better soul gems yield more potent results.
Common Enchantment Categories:
| Category | Effect Examples |
|---|---|
| Damage | Fire Damage, Frost Damage, Shock Damage, Drain Health |
| Attribute Boosts | Fortify Strength, Fortify Intelligence, Fortify Willpower |
| Resistances | Resist Fire, Resist Frost, Resist Shock, Resist Magic |
| Utility | Water Walking, Levitate, Light, Fortify Speed |
| Absorb | Absorb Health, Absorb Magicka |
To apply enchantments, you must have a sufficient Enchant skill and access to an Enchanting Altar, typically found in mages' guilds or specific quest locations. You will also need a filled soul gem containing the soul of a creature. The higher the quality of the soul gem (e.g., Grand Soul Gem), the more powerful the enchantment you can create.
You can also find pre-enchanted items throughout Vvardenfell. These items can be used as-is, or their enchantments can be learned and reapplied using the enchanting system. Some unique artifacts possess enchantments that cannot be replicated through standard enchanting, making them particularly valuable.
Mastering enchanting requires patience and experimentation. Combining multiple enchantments on a single item is possible, allowing for highly specialized gear tailored to your playstyle. Experiment with different spell effects and item types to discover the most potent combinations.
