The workaround seems to be a clunky un-equip and re-equip whenever the enchantment is changed. An object or quest script may be needed to check for a "wrong" enchantment on reloading a saved game and then force a re-equip. | The workaround seems to be a clunky un-equip and re-equip whenever the enchantment is changed.

:On the first, thanks, that's good (frustrating) to know. A fair few things work that way, but I didn't realize this was one. Do weapons update immediately? Seem like they would (which helps because you can't un/re-equip weapons as easily due to sheathing/unsheathing issues). | |||
:On the second, that's actually because of how this function works. It changes the base object, rather than an individual instance. A lot of OBSE functions do that. The thing is, vanilla Oblivion functions never did that, and so Bethesda doesn't have Oblivion save those things. However, if a form is a part of the savefile ''anyway'' (a so-called dynamic form, such as player-made potions and enchantments, or more usefully, things made with [[CloneForm]]), then the changes ''do'' save. So the answer to the second issue is to use CloneForm before making those changes (which is usually a good idea anyway, to avoid changing every instance of the object). | |||
:That issue is known, but it's a difficult thing to teach people on the Wiki because it applies to so many functions; it's hard to say where that info should go... | |||
