Six books across Skyrim will raise the Enchantment skill the first time they are read - Twin Secrets, Enchanter's Primer, Catalogue of Weapon Enchantments, A Tragedy In Black, Catalogue of Armor Enchantments and the Oghma Infinium. However, there are other avenues of leveling that can be pursued as well. The more enchanting that is done, the more the skill rises. There are also three races that gain an instant +5 bonus to the skill at the start of the game: Imperials, Altmer and Orsimer.įinding an Arcane Enchanter (or furnishing a home with one) opens up abundant possibilities to experiment by placing learned enchantments on simple items, like crafted iron daggers or silver rings. To gain a boost for enchanting, which is included under arcane traditions, activate the Mage Stone between Helgen and Riverwood for a bonus. As with any skill in Skyrim, practice is one of the most consistent ways to earn levels, and the Enchantment skill is no different.
