In the standard House War quests, where you have to eliminate your rivals from the other two Great Houses, Banden Indarys comes up short, because he's unarmed, and his hand to hand skill is, well, lacking. He has good long sword and block skills, so I'd like to create a mod that gives him a competitive sword and shield, to make his fight a more difficult (but not an extreme) one. The limit I'm imposing on myself is that the basic sword is an ebony longsword, and the shield is a Redoran Banner Shield. They can have enchantments up to their normal limits in power.

A couple of test examples I've tried so far:

• Indarys Banner Sword, Fortify Skill Block 50 points for 5 seconds, Cast on Strike; total 12 enchant points.
  
• Indarys Banner Shield, 1 point Restore Fatigue Constant Effect, 2 points Restore Health Constant Effect; total 60 enchant points.

I'm looking for enchantments that are activated in normal use of the items, that don't have to be manually cast (and thus easy for an NPC to benefit from). These example enchantments are defensive in nature.

Does anyone have any suggestions for different enchantments within these limits?

I'm starting to think it may just be simpler to give him a ring that perma-summons a bound sword and shield.
