Like many others, I was unhappy that the only item that provided the Skein of Magnus enchantment was the Archmage's Robes. A number of my characters don't like the look of them, and some of the females just don't like wearing that much. The only alternatives I'd seen either provided a copy of an existing amulet with the enchantment, or allowed the robes to be disenchanted.
Neither of these was acceptable, as they did nothing to prevent the player having multiple instances of the Skein of Magnus effects, which is too easily overpowered. Disenchanting further allows it to be boosted by the enchanter's skill. I also wanted a unique item as an alternative, hence this amulet.
The Amulet is placed next to the unhooded robes in the Archmage's Quarters, and enables with them, so you get both at the same time.
If the player is wearing the Archmage's Robes when he/she equips the amulet, the robes will be automatically unequipped, and vice-versa. The player cannot wear two items with the same enchantment.
Enabling the amulet and unhooded robes is done when you are given the regular robes by Tolfdir. If you already completed the quest, and have the hooded Archmage's Robes, when you install, then the amulet and unhooded robes will not be enabled until you drop them and pick them up again. Note that this only happens the first time you get the Archmage's robes, and canot be repeated to get additional amulets.
Drop the contents of the archive into the Data folder, or use BAIN.
Not applicable
Use BAIN to remove the mod.
Since this adds the exclusion script to the Archmage's Robes (hooded and unhooded), it will be incompatible with anything that replaces them. Simple replacements of the texture alone should not be a problem.
The Unofficial Skyrim Patch changes the unhooded robes to be initially enabled. This should not affect this mod, but if this is loaded after the USKP as intended, then the unhooded robes will not be enabled until this one does so.

Since this is still in development, do not fix anything yourself, but notify me so I can do it for everyone, and make sure it's in future releases. You may translate the mod into other languages, but if you do so, preserve the version number, so that users know if there's later content in the English version. Be careful when using meshes from the mod, as some are other people's work and you may need to check with the author to see what permissions are applicable.
Do not upload this anywhere else. I won't be maintaining updates on multiple sites, and I don't want old versions being used.
