                               for
            The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

                           Requirements:
                      SKSE64 2.0.11 or higher
  

*********************************************************************

Is Enchanting a skill your character just doesn't want to learn but
you are tired of finding great looking armor, clothing, and weapons
but then finding other items with great enchantments and wish you
could transfer the enchantment? Do you sometimes forget to rename
your items while you're enchanting them?

If so, just find a copy of "Arcane Enchanter Basics" and you'll learn 
the secrets for directly transferring enchantments without needing to 
learn them and for renaming items without changing their enchantment. 
The small book is just Wylandriah's notes on the subject. She has the
original lying around somewhere and she sent a copy to the College of 
Winterhold. Faralda sometimes uses the College copy so she can reach 
the top shelf in her wardrobe.

UPDATES for version 2.0:

Only install version 2.0 when starting a new game. For existing games
upgrade to 1.1 instead for the same set of features (except ESL support).

You don't need Wylandriah's book, just have a weapon drawn or spell 
ready (and not be sneaking) when you activate an Arcane Enchanter.

Support for all enchanting stations added by DLC and mods added.

You can also avoid the need for Wabbajack and bypass restrictions 
with the console command "SET CDC_ESCHEAT TO 1" if you prefer.

The mod is now flagged as an ESL.



*********************************************************************

KNOWN PROBLEMS AND LIMITATIONS

If holding Wabbajack you'll be able to bypass normal enchanting 
limitations. That means you could end up losing a quest item or 
unbalancing your game. The original items aren't really destroyed, 
so if you need some item back just use the console command from 
Wylandriah's book and grab it from the barrel on the bridge.

The effects of some items which appear to be enchanted are really 
implemented through perks or scripts. Only true enchantments can 
be transferred by this mod. Supporting other items would require 
editing the perks and scripts unique to each item. 



*********************************************************************

KNOWN AND POTENTIAL MOD CONFLICTS

Dynamic Things with the automatic conversion of all containers to
safe storage option will break this mod and leave arcane enchanters
unusable.

Crafting Cloud Storage adds a menu to arcane enchanters and you 
should choose the option to use the storage if you're trying to
transfer enchantments with this mod. (Which makes some sense
according to Wylandriah's notes about the process.)

Other mods that try to manipulate arcane enchanters or all containers
could have similar problems.
