There are two versions - with shadow casting and without shadow casting



============================================================================================================

The accessories are categorized into three main types of jewelry used in the vanilla game

This design choice aims to maintain balance in the simplest possible way.

Once you learn Arcane Forging, all items can be crafted in the cauldron. Yes, that's your makeshift cauldron.

Cooking pots can also be used to swap between variants of certain accessories.

Most items can be enchanted, except for the light casting variant.

Rings - Charms and Magic Books - Prestige and Versatility

Some glowing "charms" come in two variants - with and without (shadow*) light casting.

technical details

Each type of accessory has different float and follow characteristics - halos are best for your movement, scepters are slow to move because they're big and heavy, and spells and grimoires allow for greater maneuverability.

All items have been strategically placed to minimize obstruction to the third-person perspective.

The Halo, Wand, Spell, and Magic Book are linked to the "Head", "COM", and "Magic Effect" nodes of the actor's skeleton respectively.

All accessories use the same actor rig and world model mesh.

Important notice

• Since the actor equipment and world model use the same mesh, some items will be severely misaligned in the inventory view. The problem can be temporarily solved by checking the item (scrolling the mouse wheel up or pressing R3/right click).

• Your visual settings will greatly affect the appearance of rune halos, their brightness has been pre-adjusted to compensate for ENB, making them appear white under stock lighting. This is not a bug.

• These accessories are not designed for mods that allow multiple pieces of jewelry to be worn, so be sure to consider overlap/clipping when you do so.

4.Skyrim has restrictions on lights connected to the actor skeleton node, when the actor is equipped with a light object connected to the "MagicEffectsNode", it will override and disable all other lights emitted from other nodes. For example, light from "Illuminate Lantern" will take precedence over light from "Illuminate Frost Rune".

5.Skyrim has a recurring glitch that gives players the false impression of bugged "invisible jewels".

Certain pieces of clothing are set up to override other equipment "visual slots" while still allowing you to equip and benefit from its properties and enchantments.

This is how Skyrim handles clothing "layering", which is used to simulate accessories worn underneath clothing.

But there may be a glitch that causes covered items to become visible when they should be hidden.

This glitch can be temporarily resolved by (re)loading the save. Once players do this, they will notice that some items become "invisible" when they are equipped with other items of clothing, which is actually the correct behavior.

Therefore, if you encounter such an issue, please do not report Mystery Ornament as bugged.

Workaround: Use the Creation Kit to edit the "problematic" outfit and remove its slot overlay in "Armor"
