  DB nailed it. I'd also like to add that you can always replicate enchantments from older games via a variety of things in Skyrim. For example, Weakness to Frost enchantments aren't a thing in Skyrim, but Weakness to Frost Poisons are. Likewise, Disintegrate Armor doesn't exist in Skyrim, but Marked For Death does.

  As long as the artifact features prominently in the build, it's fine. I'm not going to try and make this difficult; just make a clear attempt to incorporate the artifact into the build without simply tacking it on and you're good.

  Alright. Any particular version of Umbra (such as Morrowind's or Oblivion's) or just Umbra in general?

  OK another question. How exact does the replication have to be? For example if an item says it gave -8 to stamina do we have to replicate that exactly to -8 or if it's -30 does that work just as well as long as it's a stamina reduction for an example. Or if a weapon does +20 fire damage as long as it does fire damage in the replication is that acceptable or does it have to be exactly +20 ?

  My guess is that numbers aren´t important, effects are.

  I think the recreation should hold true to the spirit of the artifact. For example, the Dawnbreaker would excel at smiting the undead, the Spellbreaker is meant to counter magic (be it by protection or prevention) and Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw would improve the wearer's vitality and steadiness.
