The Diadem of the Savant

The Diadem of the Savant is a unique circlet that serves as the reward for conquering Shalidor's Maze, although a respawnable version can also be found outside of Froki's Shack (see bugs). As would be expected for an item associated with Shalidor, the circlet makes it so that all spells use less magicka. While it may be useful to mages due to its enchantment, and since it can be worn without disabling the Mage Armor perk, its defensive capabilities cannot be improved further as it cannot be tempered.

Notes

• This is technically Light Armor, but because it does not have the ArmorLight keyword, you can wear it without disabling the Mage Armor perk. It will count as valid helmet for either the Custom Fit or Well Fitted perk.

Bugs

• This item cannot be improved at a workbench.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.1, addresses this issue. It now uses a Gold Ingot for tempering.
• On the wood chopping block outside to the north-northwest of Froki's Shack, you can find a Diadem of the Savant, which respawns. It is possible this was a mistake, as the Creation Kit specifies that the diadem was meant to be a reward for completing Shalidor's Maze.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 1.2.5, addresses this issue. It changes this instance of the diadem into a leveled circlet with a Fortify Archery effect.
• It doesn't have the ArmorJewelry keyword set like other circlets.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.1.1, fixes this bug.
