Can I Use a Shield for Enchantments Without Hurting Spell Effectiveness?

-

I’m trying to find out if there are alternatives to using a shield to unlock the 9th enchantment slot. If I do have to use a shield, will it impact my spell effectiveness? Also, how does the bound shield fit into this for my pure mage character? Thanks for any insights!

From what I know, shields are indeed the only way to get that last enchantment slot. But don’t worry! If you’re unarmed or using a two-handed weapon like a staff or bow while equipping a shield, you can still get the enchantment without affecting your spells.

Honestly, if you’re using a shield, you’re straying from being a pure mage. But I get it, sometimes you just want that extra slot! Using a shield might not make you a pure mage by some standards, but you can still get creative with your build.
