Trying to make Elemental Fury give different enchantments

[Catman030]

Anyone's who's looked into the design of the elemental fury shout knows that the effects are applied through the use of an enchantment. So I was wondering to myself, could this be switched to give the player a different enchantment temporarily. I gave it a shot, trying to swap in fire damage at various points in ck. No success. Strangely enough, the enhance weapon speed effect persisted even though the magic effect that allowed it was not linked to the voice power. Anyone have any ideas as to why this may not be working? Thanks.

Quite simply Elemental Fury was created using a tool other than (or in addition to, or otherwise more powerful than) the Creation Kit. Its magic effect has properties that cannot be edited in the CK, though they can be edited in TESVEdit.

 

Not to fear, though. All is not lost. The effect can be replicated fairly easily using the Creation Kit. My guess is that an older version allowed some magic effect tweaks that were later prevented, probably to avoid bugs (or possibly to simplify the CK UI).

 

If you want to create temporary enchantments that can be applied through spells, simply use the Enhance Weapon magic effect archetype. It's fully functional (I've tested it), but of course it cannot enchant a weapon that is already enchanted, just like Elemental Fury.

 

And honestly, the Unofficial Patch people should probably just recreate Elemental Fury to make it a standard CK magic effect, because there is really no reason for it to be so confusing.
