Custom Enchantments

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:25 pm

I've been searching here, over at Skyrim Nexus, the Creation Kit Wiki and YoutTube, but I have yet to come across a comprehensive tutorial or other collection of genuinely useful information on how to create custom weapon and armor enchantments from scratch; like from the ground up, using the blank templates. I've been messing around with it all night, and as far as I can tell, it involves creating a new magic effect reference, a new script, a new enchantment reference, and then linking them all together with internal references, and making sure they all have the appropriate conditions attached to them.

At least, that's how I think it works, anyway; I could be wrong. I was just following the apparent workflow of some of the existing weapon and armor enchantments to see how they were constructed, trying to figure it out. I have yet to work out how to actually implement all those components and steps to get any kind of observable result out of the whole tedious, convoluted process.

If anyone out there knows how to create custom enchantments and apply them to items (and get it to work properly) I would greatly appreciate the enlightenment. The more detail and examples you can include in your explanation, the better, as well.
