Hey how do you make a sheild enchantment at the alter of enchanting? I want to make my daedric armor have a shield bonus but i cant find any option that lets me enchant it with shield bonus.

Do you have a shield spell that you can cast? Remember that you have to be able to cast the spell in order to enchant something with that spell. Made that mistake a few times...

I think you have to have some sort of a shield spell in your inventory before you can enchant stuff with the desired spell.

Ok so im only level 21 in alteration i just got a spell called protect which i can cast, but if i get higher alteration and get better spells will that make the enchantment better?

Not if you already have enchanted the armor. It wont level with you.

Correct. U cant get shield higher than 85.

That's why I wouldn't put a shield enchantment on daedric armor. It will be useless, if your heavy armor skill is high enough.

Not quite. If the armor gets damaged during battle, the shield enchantment allows you to still keep 85 armor for some time.
