Enchanting Ability in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

In Morrowind, you can drink a potion that will make you better in alchemy, which then could be used to make a better potion that does the same and so on until you are a god. Skyrim seems that there are charms designed specifically to improve their skills. For example, a beginner Manto Minor destruction mana cost reduced by 12% of all the destruction to cast spells while in use, or an amulet will forge Minor improvements in weapons and armor by 12%, while wearing it. If there is a charm for each of the 18 competencies in Skyrim, you can find an amulet that improves charming, disenchanted to learn to make clothes of another magic with it, and make a complete set of "Heavenly Gear "I could do with very powerful spells.

We will see if this holds true as enchanting is probably one of the most important parts of personalizing a game. I would definitely do this if it was an option, it would take forever, and be well worth it. I think it could get patched out if it becomes too serious a problem but it seems harmless enough to be one of those things that the devs say "hey if you’re willing to spend 50 extra hours min/maxing an enchanting set then more power to you".

I see what you mean. I think it's capped by the perks though. A 'reduce cost of conjuration spell' is actually affecting in the way that a perk would i.e. a lesser form of 'novice spell reduced by 50%' or the like. I don't think it's clear that improving your enchanting allows you to create stronger enchanted objects, you have to choose the perks to do that - improving your enchanting skill only unlocks the ability to get higher ranked perks.

The cool thing about the enchantments for these skills is that the actually enchantment applies directly; it doesn't just improve your skill. If you look at the descriptions for the Novice Robe of Minor Destruction and the Amulet of Minor Smithing, they actually say: "Decreases magicka cost of destruction spells by 12%" and "Makes improvements to weapons and armor 12% better," respectively, and not "+12 destruction skill" or "+12 Smithing skill."
