Description
===========
This mod adds necromancer's altars(those where you can swap Grand Soul Gems to Black Soul Gems), but with this mod you can use altars ANYTIME YOU WANT! IMPORTANT!!!:Original altars from Bethesda are still the same, i just created new ones. For those who don't know, place Empty Grand Soul Gem in Altar, cast Soul Trap spell on Altar as many times as needed (depends on how much soul gems are in there), open the Altar and take Black Soul Gem, that's all. Just one more thing; when you cast Soul Trap, there won't be those "purple effects", like in original altar. This will act as usuall ST spell.
Update Details
==============
In v2.0 you are able to swap ANY empty soul gem for black soul gem. How it works? Simply, you need required number of usual empty soul gems to swap for one Black Soul Gem (BSG):
- You need 5 empty Petty SGs to swap for one BSG;
- You need 4 empty Lesser SGs to swap for one BSG;
- You need 3 empty Common SGs to swap for one BSG;
- You need 2 empty Greater SGs to swap for one BSG;
- And ofcourse, you need 1 empty Grand SG to swap for one BSG;
E.g. place 3 Common, 1 Grand and 5 Petty SGs in altar and cast Soul Trap ONCE. You've just made 3 Black Soul Gems :). I don't consider this as cheaty mod, because Bethesda should have made BSGs more "common". Enjoy.
v2.1 Fixed bug where you could make BSG with just one Lesser Soul Gem. Also I include SI only file, doesn't require original BSG Altar, requires SI only. You'll find in front of Sheo's Palace, can't miss it.
Location
========
You can find altars in castle in every city except Kvatch and Imperial City, where altar is in Arcane University Lobby. They are very easy to find.
