About this mod
Adds enchanting and spellmaking altars to many locations across the game that make sense. In mages guildhalls, magic shops, and some dungeons. You are no longer forced into joining the Arcane University to unlock these features.
- Permissions and credits
This mod is a port of Available Arcane Enchanters cleaned up and patched for the remaster. All credits to Guinefort for the original mod.
The original mod description:
"It baffles me that Oblivion locks away access to enchaining and spell-making services behind access to the Arcane University. How on Nirn does the Arcane University maintain such a stranglehold monopoly on spell-making and especially enchanting? So just where are all of the enchanted items in Cyrodiil coming from? Not to mention that this makes enchanting very inaccessible, and spell-making completely inaccessible, to any characters who aren't running the Mages Guild questline.
To this end, many new enchanting altars have been added across Cyrodiil. First, each Mages Guild hall now has an enchanting altar. Second, magic shops like Mystic Emporium, Rindir's Staffs, and Warlock's Luck now have them added. Third, a few private dwellings of mage characters have them added (Henantier, Fathis Aren, etc.) Last, many have been added to necromancer and sorcerer dungeons. This is in part inspired by Skyrim, where enchanting altars are scattered across mages' labs and hideouts. A few spell-making altars have also been added. Each Mages Guild hall has one, as do Mystic Emporium, and a few private homes of mages.
Faction ownership has been assigned in a logically consistent way. In the Mages Guild, the enchanting altars become open for use upon joining the Mages Guild as an associate. The spell-making altars only become available for use upon becoming an apprentice - or you can, just when nobody is looking. I figured that spell-making would be more restrictive, since letting random greenhorn idiots make burn-everything spells, without supervision, would be a massive liability for the guild. Hooray for legal liability! The altars in stores are free for use regardless of guild affiliation. Those in private residences, are, obviously, forbidden for the player to use. "
