Enchantment still active.

[Cthuloot]

So basically I have a amulet that fortifies my magicka by 20 points. I recently noticed that it's effect was registered twice. I checked my stats and it is actually adding to my total and is a usable extra 20 points (lucky I had a spell that cost exactly 220 magicka). Unequiping and reequipting doesn't seem to remove it. It was a custom enchanted necklace.

 

How might I possibly remove it?

What might have caused it?

Is this a potential sign of bugs to come?

 

Thanks!

I had a similar problem, although it could be the reasons are quite different. I dis-enchanted the Robes of the Way, one of the items that comes with the mod "Way of the Monk". I put that enchantment on a Silver Amethyst Ring, and renamed the ring to "Ring of the Way". Upon equipping the ring it did, indeed, give me the full benefit of the original robe. I have a mod that allows me to wear unlimited rings and amulets, although I restrict myself to one amulet and five rings, just to keep things a little more "honest". I needed a different ring at one point and swapped out the Ring of the Way for it. Here's where it gets odd and is related to your problem.

 

I always check in my active effects to make sure that something I just donned is actually giving me the buff its supposed to. When I did, the buff for the Ring of the Way was still there and active, but it was indicated as coming from "Silver Amethyst Ring". Experimenting with the situation, I put the ring back on. Now the buff appeared twice, both for Ring of the Way. Removing it left the buff there twice, but for Silver Amethyst Ring. I found that I could stack the buffs at least four deep before I got frustrated and followed a hunch. I unequipped everything ... stripped down to my undies. All buffs from items were gone.

 

I've no idea what was happening with this, since I've never encountered anything like it before, or since.

 

Anyway, you can rid yourself of the buff with the console. Type "help" followed by a space and followed by the exact name of the buff as it appears in your Active Effects. This should give you at least one line with an ID in it. If there's more than one, you're looking for a line that indicates it's a spell. Now type "player.removespell <ID>". That should get rid of it.

Actually, the troll fiance of mine chopped logs, bought a new helmet that matched mine and soul gem. She then proceeded to make sure the enchantment was identical to my necklace, then named it "Silver Necklace" (I don't usually rename my items.) She then proceeded to giggle quietly to herself why I tried to figure it out. I got to give her credit. She got me here.

 

On a related note, what mod are you using for rings and such? Do they display as equip on other fingers?

 

Also, good info for the future as far as console things! Every day my console mastery grows...

You need to explain to your fiance that playing tricks like that can actually lead to broken games as the poor person the trick was played on tries different things in a desperate attempt to fix the "problem". If anyone screwed with my game like that, it'd be out in the doghouse for that person, and I'd invite the dog inside to live with me. At least he doesn't know enough to play practical jokes with my Skyrim install.

 

Anyway, back to seriousness. The mod I'm using is Skryim Unlimited Rings and Amulets. It's been reported to have an issue dealing with multiple items of the same base type (such as two or more gold rings, even if they're enchanted and renamed), and your character doesn't actually display all of them. That could be an issue with the game engine. A similar mod in Oblivion had the same problem.

 

Unfortunately, this mod may no longer be supported. It's been months since its creator posted to his comments thread, and questions and issues have gone unaddressed in that time. It does work, though, and seems to cause no conflicts with any other mods. If all you want is to be able to wear multiple rings and amulets, and you don't care that they no longer appear on you in 3rd person view, then this is a great mod.

Ehhh... Everything she did was in game and fessed up before I started screwing with mods and load orders and such. No harm done in my opinion.

 

And sadly, things like not displaying the multiple rings ruin mods for me. I hate how picky i am with it. A lot of times little things stop me from using mods entirely. Midas Magic? The fact that EVERY spell has "Midas" in front of it stops me from playing with it.
