Spellbreaker (Skyrim)

Spellbreaker was also in Oblivion as Spell Breaker. It is a Daedric Artifact given to the player by Peryite upon completion of The Only Cure quest.

It has an enchantment, that when blocking, produces a Ward-like effect that protects the user from 50 points of magic damage, but doesn't increase the Armor Rating. The effect refreshes itself every second that the user is blocking, though it takes a small amount of time to get the ward to charge up (About a second). The up side to that is the fact the ward remains for another (appr) 1 second after the user stops blocking.

It is enhanced using Dwarven Metal Ingots, but the Dwarven smithing perk does not allow it to go past Flawless without Fortify Smithing Enchantments.
