One thing Ive always hated about the Elder scroll universe is the weapon procs (glowies) aren't permanent. If my sword does fire damage, it should always do fire dame, not have a set number of fire damage charges, then have to be recharged with a soul stone.

Personally, I'd prefer the opposite. I'd like to turn off the visual effect completely.

I haven't noticed any NPC weapons that have constant effects to show their enchantments. I have noticed that NPC staff-users have a glow on their staff in order to help you keep track of which targets are your priority in a group (healers, etc.). That's totally different than a constant enchantment effect, though.

As for your weapons: you can see a constant enchantment effect. It's just subtler than the effect you see when you draw your weapons. For example, a fire-enchanted weapon will burst into flames when drawn, and after that, you can still see veins of fire up and down the length of the weapon.

Ah, that does make sense now that you mention it, never thought of it that way.

As for the subtle effect, yes I already know about that. They really should make/work on some kind of visual option that allows players as @Xenite mentioned, to turn on/off visual effects.

They could do a much better job at even making these weapon effects subtle, say maybe your weapon's effect stays on, but once your enchantment is on cooldown, the weapon effect stops until it's recharged. In a way, it would help players know when their enchantments cooldowns are done at the very least.

Though, one could see how the effects could be bad on performance, in a town full of people (ha! yeah right, that'll be the day) with a bunch of flaming weapons/effects on weapons.

Anyways, thanks though. Don't know if the whole API allows it or not, but if anyone knows of a mod/addon that could possibly do this, I'm still looking.
