Notes:

  • The magnitude and duration of the effect on a magical item depends on the player's level, as it does for spells.
  • Enchantments that are applied "when strikes" can only be found on weapons.
  • Sometimes enchantments that are applied "when equipped" can also be found on wands. Since wands can not be equipped such a magical item is useless and is only of use when sold. The enchantments "Water Walking" and "Enhance Dragonish" are often found on wands.
  • "Enhance Dragonish" is the only language-relevant enchantment which can be found, all other languages apparently can not be found as enchantments.
  • The "Leaping" and "Venom Spitting" items were very likely misnamed by the developers. This error was fixed by a 3rd party patch.

Durability of Magical Items

To make the most of any magical item it is important to know how long it will last when used. The more often it is used the faster it wears out. The starting health of a magical item depends on the kind of item. Any magical item, beside weapons and armors has always a starting health of 1500. This applies also for artifacts, see further below. When it comes to weapons and armors, the material the gear is crafted determines the starting health. It doesn't matter what kind of weapon/armor the magical items is. See the below for further details on the starting health for each material.

Material Iron Steel Silver Elven Dwarven Mithril Adamantium Ebony Orcish Daedric
Starting Health 1500 2250 2250 3000 4500 6000 7500 9000 10500 12000

The use of a magical item will decrease its health until the item breaks and it is gone for good. How much of the item's health is used, is determined when the enchantment is applied, either when used, when strikes or when equipped.

For enchantments that are used as long as the item is equipped, following rule applies: The health decreases by 105 every time the item is equipped plus an additional decrease of 1 for every in-game minute the item is equipped. For example if one equips an item for one in-game hour, it has an overall health decrease of 105 + 60 = 165.

Effects that are applied when an item is used or when it strikes a target, will decrease its health by 10 every time it is used or it strikes a target which can be harmed by the weapon's material. Whether the enemy was save vs. magic or not, doesn't matter, the weapon's health will always decrease by 10. If an item is used, but the spell is aborted before it is casted, the health will decrease by 10 as well.

In case an item is also a weapon or a piece of armor, its abrasion in combat must be considered for the overall health decrease as well.

The health decrease of magical items works very likely additive, which means two enchantments on an item will consume 20 health per cast and so on. But since the standard magical items contain only one enchantment, this feature is not researched in detail. Such items can only be created by using an Item Maker, who is available for members of the appropriate rank at the Mages Guild or the School of Julianos.

Durability of Artifacts

All artifacts have a starting health of 1500, except the Oghma Infinium which has only one point of health and therefore will vanish after it is used. It doesn't matter whether the artifact is also a weapon or an armor. This is the reason why some of the artifacts for example the Ebony Blade get worn out extremely fast. Although artifacts may have powerful enchantments, they have a very limited durability. This must be considered an oversight made by the developers. If an artifact only increases a skill while equipped e.g. the Chrysamere or the Skeleton Key, it will not get worn out, regardless how long it is equipped. This also applies for self-made magical items.
